Hello, Club Ambassadors! Summer starts on June 21, yay! Your clubs are no doubt busy and in full event mode. Us too. The NCGA staff is traveling all over the region for tournaments, outings and qualifiers - another busy year! Here are a few things we want to share with you for you to share with your club. Thanks for your support and engagement.

NCGA Board Nominations
The 2023 NCGA Board of Directors nominations are now open. The NCGA is accepting applications from qualified candidates to serve on its Board of Directors. Know someone you think is a great candidate?
Registration is open for most of our events and many of them fill very fast, so make sure your tournament players and trip or outing participants know about the opportunities!
The 2022 NCGA Master Event Calendar is online, See it Here.
Never miss a deadline! The first week of each month, we send out the Monthly Tournament and Events Bulletin with all the dates and deadlines for the upcoming month.
NCGA Member Outings
One of our most popular programs, we host one-day outings to private and resort courses. Due to high demand, outings are now filled via lottery. The lottery is now complete and there are open slots remaining for:
San Jose CC, Boulder Ridge, Cameron Park CC, Green Valley and Silverado South
The NCGA GO discount travel portal, powered by Affinity Travel, is discontinued as a member benefit as of 6/1/2022. Since its start in 2017, numerous competitors and business model innovations have entered the marketplace which provide extensive consumer options. In the meantime, we have also been steadily adding partners that offer exclusive member savings on hotel and golf stay & play packages - some of them are ‘everyday’ and others are promotional. We encourage members to check these out on the NCGA website Member Area.
A Helpful "Learner" Campaign
As you recruit new members you will inevitably meet new golfers who are past the beginner stage but not quite 'handicap-ready'. In order to help bridge the gap, we created a free, helpful online golf 'mini-clinic' series they can sign up for and take at their own pace. It includes helpful videos, plus content from NCGA Golf Magazine and our website. These are more than short tips - they are truly 5-10 minute 'mini-clinics.' Click here for more info on who can benefit and how they can sign up.
