CGA: Membership means more in your local club or league.

AFTER A RECORD-BREAKING year for golf in Colorado, all of us at the Colorado Golf Association must begin with a thank you. To all the men and women who came back to the game last year, it was great to see you again, and we can’t wait to see you back in 2021. For those “AvidGolfers” who never left, and played even more golf, thank you for your continued commitment to this game of a lifetime.

As you know, getting a tee time at your local course was often challenging. However, member- ship means more when you join your local golf club. This was clear in 2020, as membership in local facilities and men’s and women’s leagues was up considerably. Last year the CGA welcomed more than 617 leagues in Colorado at our 215 member facilities across the state. These leagues are run by local golfers and the wonderful PGA and LPGA professionals in your community. By joining a local league, you have access to the USGA handicap system, overseen and reviewed by your local peers. New in 2021, the USGA is re- quiring all golfers to provide emails and passwords to ensure your information is secure. You will now have safer access to the free GHIN Mobile app which lets you enter your hole-by-hole scores, keep track of friends, and receive videos and tips sent exclusively to our CGA Members.

Last year we also saw new clubs and leagues launch in response to the increased demand in our game. It was great to see up-and-coming leagues like DNVR Golf through the incredible digital sports-platform at DNVR. Colorado Under Par also launched in 2020 and is dedicated to providing its members with a fun and social golf environment with events around Colorado. If you have a group of friends and want to start your own golf league, the CGA is always here to help you make this happen.

Membership in the CGA continues to bring unique and special benefits from Colorado and National companies. For example, this year, Colorado AvidGolfer, the CGA’s “Magazine Partner of Choice,” has upped the ante and is extending special subscription benefits to our nearly 63,000 members. Each week, the CGA strives to bring our members a new featured benefit in your weekly “Member Insider” which provides an updated handicap index along with featured benefits, clubs and events, and videos exclusive to our members.

Membership means more at the CGA, and as we have learned, the game of golf has also never meant more. Your participation in a league or club allows you to enjoy the health and wellness benefits our game provides, while also remaining connected to your community.
