In addition to providing handicapping for
our member clubs through the Golf Handicap and Information
System (GHIN) and conducting many championships, the WPGA
provides its membership with many services. These include
seminars, publications, meetings and phone support, in specific,
and information services in general.
Every club has a Club Representative who
provides an interface between the club and the WPGA. Club
Representatives are the Association’s conduits to the membership
and club leadership to help us ensure that we provide the best
service possible.
The WPGA conducts numerous seminars each
year. These include Caddie Development, Club Leadership, Green,
Handicap Chair Certification, Tournament Administration and the
Rules of Golf. The seminars are conducted on a regional basis
and can also be arranged for individual clubs as requested. We
also host the United States Golf Association, USGA, for seminars
such as GHIN Operations, Handicapping and Course Rating.
Each year an Annual Meeting
and a Club Representative Day is conducted. WPGA Member Clubs
are urged to send delegations for short meetings, enjoyable golf
and dinner.
Communications are very important to the
Association. Among our annual publications are the Member Club
Directory and Annual Report. Another useful publication is the
annual Club Operations and Green Operations Summary. This
publication is the result of a survey filled out by WPGA Member
Clubs and outlines information on dues, initiation fees, and
operations comparisons such as green budgets. This survey is
continually being developed, and we are always looking for more
information that could be of use to our Member Clubs. In
particular, we are trying to develop more information for our
semi-private and public facilities.
Our organization is always just a phone
call away for any questions you might have regarding rules
situations, golf committee structure, tournament management or
handicapping.
We are committed to being a “full service
golf association” and we want to respond to the needs of our
membership. We want our contributions to include providing a
forum for clubs to meet, exchange ideas and become better
acquainted.
