I have been a member of the SGAA for eight years.
When I joined the SGAA it was strictly to play golf and I played alot of golf at a number of different courses. I went to tournaments as a single and soon met a group who had lost one of their normal foursome and asked me to join them on a weekly basis, which I did. But I wanted to play more than once a week, so I continued to go to other weekly tournaments as a single and met so many more guys. It did not take long to get the hang of things and feel comfortable. There is no rule to team up with a twosome or a threesome, you can stay flexible and register as a single for every match you want to play, the SGAA is a very
accommodating organization.
My membership has become much more than golf, now I am playing golf with friends. Who would have thought that at my age I would make so many new friends, and friends they have become.
There are many ways to help build and run the SGAA. I serve on the Board of Directors, on the membership committee and as a Table Worker. Every in-town tournament has four members who serve on the Table, register players for each tournament, take up fees, and record the scores for publication on the SGAA website. This is one of the most rewarding jobs to have in the organization. You get to meet so many members and help them get ready to play their match.
A good way to start is to play as a guest to get familiar with how the SGAA operates.

At Senior Golfers Association of Atlanta, we believe that golf is more than just a game - it's a way of life. We are dedicated to helping senior (55+) golfers of all skill levels enjoy the sport to the fullest.
SGAA sprung from a group of 8 men who formally agreed to play one Saturday a month in 1956. It was later organized into its present form. During the 1990s the membership exceeded 300; our present membership is around 200.
We play 2 or 3 days a week beginning in mid-January thru mid- December each year. We do not play on Fridays or weekends. We play about 20 local courses and have 4 to 5 out of town trips annually.
We play in four flights, and re-flight every month. Our handicaps range from +3 to 30.
Players may preregister one week before each play date but are not required to. Every member who shows up is allowed to play. Each player is responsible for a $5 fee for each round and his own green fees. We generally get a small discount from posted rates. Our average green fee is under $40. Table fees are a pool for awards within each flight based upon relative scores within the flight.
We also pay awards for birdies, eagles, and close-ups on par 3s.
Complete information is included in the New Member Handbook which can be found at
New Member Handbook (sgaofatlanta.org) .

Come out and play with us as a guest. You won't be disappointed.

SGAA President
Shortly after returning to Atlanta, an absence of twelve years, I accepted early retirement, joined a country club, and settled down to a life of leisure. Then a fellow member suggested I join the SGAA. Why? I said. Well you get to play many of the courses in the Atlanta area, go on four out of town three day golf trips and get to take your wife on a member guest four day trip. Well I said to myself, What have I got to lose, twenty five bucks? That was thirty three years ago, and I am still a member of the Senior Golfers Association of Atlanta.
Joining an organization is one thing, participating in its operation is when you realize how satisfying your
membership can be. It affords you with the opportunity to know and interact with other members.
Medical issues have reduced the number of times I play golf, age has shortened the distance the ball travels, it doesn’t go where I aim either, and my scores (excuse the expression) have gone south, but I still enjoy the fellowship and the continued existence of the Senior Golfers Association of Atlanta.
