Description:
The Southern Golf Association is one of the oldest - dating back to our Charter in 1902, largest - serving approximately 500 member clubs over a 14 state area, and most prestigious golf associations in the world.
We are recognized by the United States Golf Association and Regional Golf Associations as one of the leaders in the promotion of Amateur Golf. These groups validate our credentials by selecting our championships for inclusion as criteria for selecting players for their team competitions. Through the years Southern Amateur Champions have been chosen to represent the various state golf associations in selected team competitions, as has the U.S. Golf Association in Walker Cup and World Amateur competitions.
The Southern conducts three championships annually: the Southern International Four-Ball Championship in January, the Southern Amateur Championship in July and the Southern Junior Championship in June. All are included by most major points systems as a basis for players earning points for national amateur rankings.
