What Services Does the WPGA Offer?


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.
