Carolinas Golf Association

The cga conducts 35 major championships, including the 100+ year-old Carolinas amateur, as well as four team matches and qualifying events for usga championships. These serve to identify the best players in the Carolinas; but the cga tournament schedule reaches golfers of all abilities. The cga also conducts one-day handicap tournaments for players of all skill levels, one-day senior four-ball tournaments, and one-day events for junior and women golfers. These fun events attract more than 14,000 entries a year.

"Carolinas Golf" magazine is mailed quarterly free of charge to members of cga member clubs. Clubs are encouraged to send membership rosters (and annual membership additions) to the cga to get issues of "Carolinas Golf" to members.

The cga administers the usga handicap system in the Carolinas by offering an "atclub" computerized system with a top tournament management package. The cga pioneered computerized handicaps in 1963 and continues to offer premier services at a low cost to members. The cga trains and educates its members on policies and procedures regarding the usga handicapping system.

The organization provides turfgrass advisory services to member clubs throughout the Carolinas and conducts meetings and seminars to educate interested parties in a variety of Golf topics.
