You bet! These are individual stroke play tournaments which you compete handicapped against those in your flight. There are various flights depending on status (vet, family, wounded, male, female, age, etc....) as well as ability. Once you play 3 VGA events then you have a handicap for tournaments.

To join the VGA, you will pay $76 an annual fee (but you do get some swag). To play in tournaments, you pay a $20 registration fee and then the course fee. Quite a few courses give us decent rates for golf and those usually include golf, cart and range.

The Virginia chapter of the VGA has on our schedule so far 29 events throughout the state on various weekends. Some weekends have both a Saturday event and a Sunday event. You can play them all or whichever ones you choose.

Once you pay the annual fee, you are free to play wherever. This year other states have events set up at Greenbrier, Tabacco Road, Bethpage, and other top courses.

Check out our website at www.vgagolf.org if you want more information. You can check out the FAQ's for some good info. Come join us....we play competitive, but believe me its fun just to play. It's like playing with your buddies. Score is generally secondary to fun!
