YCAGA'S ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM FOR GOLF CLUBS
In 2010 the board of the YCAGA voted to expand the membership of the association. This expansion was formulated via the creation of an Associate Member Status. This expansion was also necessary to allow the YCAGA not only to expand but to allow the association to expand its abilities to promote "Amateur Golf" beyond the borders of York County.
These services include but are not limited to the following:
1) Tournament Presentation Assistance via Golf Genius
2) Logo and Link to Club on YCAGA Web Site
3) Help Promote Up to Two Club Tournaments a Month
This membership has three classifications as follows:
1)Golf Course/Facility- Any golf course or golf facility (private, semi-private, public) outside York Countythat provides for a group of individual dues-paying or non dues paying members who manage their own affairs.
2)Non Facility - Any regularly organized golf club in Pennsylvaniathat is composed of individual dues-paying members who manage their own affairs.Such a club does not own, operate, or regularly play at one course, but the members of the club regularly play golf together in conformance with the requirements of the USGA Handicapping System.
3)Practice Facility - Any practice facility without a golf course of minimum regulation length located in York County that promotes the game of golf through instruction, training, or practice.
Application for membership is made via completion of a membership application form and possible additional information as determined upon review of the application by the Executive Committee.. Applications are available by contacting the Executive Director (executivedirector@ycaga.org) with a request for an application.
Individual members of the clubs may play in a YCAGA event provided they individually meet the eligibility requirements for each tournament. Being a member of an Associate Member Club does not automatically qualify the individual for eligibility in a YCAGA event. (see eligibility requirements for each tournament) Currently the Spring Better Ball and York Open are the only sponsored YCAGA event that is open to all Amateurs and Pros (York Open Only) with no limitation on their geographical location. The YCAGA Senior & Super Senior is open to York & Lancaster Residents and members of a club belonging to the Harriburg District Golf Association
