It has become a popular tradition with nearly 800 golfers competing annually. The growth of golf has prompted the addition of events to the MGA's championship schedule. There are now another 13 MGA amateur championships for golfers of all ages and abilities. For the younger golfers, the MGA sponsors a statewide junior program. Each junior competes on a district level for four weeks.
Top finishers advance to regional competition.
Those who finish in the top of the regions qualify for the MGA Junior Championship. More than 1500 juniors from approximately 200 courses participate every year. Golfers interested in supporting MGA can join the MGA's Associate Membership Program. Associate Members receive a regularly updated handicap and MGA publications including the Minnesota Golfer magazine, and have the opportunity to compete in MGA championships. The Associate Member dues are the primary source of funds for the MGA's services.
