Start an MGA chapter in your town!

So you think the MGA is amazing. We understand. You want to play but there isn't a chapter in your town. Not a problem.

You can become a chapter leader and score a free Lifetime Membership! All you really need is a couple friends to get things started and it will grow like a rash below the belt from there.

Role of a Chapter Leader

The chapter leaders are the most critical people in the MGA. They are the ones who truly "get" what the MGA is about and they help spread the MGA culture; all while delivering professional-ish tournament experiences for the Medios in their city. Strangely enough, a mediocre chapter leader in the mediocre golf association doesn't work out as well as you'd think.

Their role is also important is building excitement for the next tournament with good follow up by getting pictures and stories up on the website immediately after each tournament. Personal recognition for the members that played is key in keeping and adding members. Everyone likes to see their name in lights. Even if it's written by one of their buddies, everybody likes to read about themselves.

Responsibilities of the Chapter Leader

• Recruit people for local tournaments and get them to sign up for an MGA tour membership.
• Designate a No. 2 to assist you with pictures and scoring
• Find golf courses and set up 8 tournaments a year
• Get prizes from MGA headquarters and bring them to the golf course
• Sign people in and collect their money
• Manage scoring and hand out prizes
• Get pictures and/or video for each event
• Write tournament summary article and post pictures (within one day or two of the tournament)
