USBGA launches the National Chapter Program
|
Posted By: S. E. Day on May 03, 2008 Nationwide - May 3, 2008 - The United States Black Golfers Association® (USBGA) will launch the National Chapter Program™ (NCP) to support its nationwide member recruiting efforts. The NCP will be the vehicle utilized to build and set the platform by which USBGA will grow to mirror the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA®). "Our goal is to create a dual system that matches the PGA® under the USGA® rules and regulations by creating the USBGA Championship Tour®. And the way to achieve this is by strategically expanding a national chapter platform while aggressively recruiting chapter managers in each of the Lower 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii", stated S. E. Day, President of USBGA. The NCP will begin on May 5, 2008 and commence in the southeastern states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and expand to the northern states and then west. The aggressive plans are to establish a minimum of 12 chapters per state mostly centered in or near metropolitan cities. Under the NCP, national membership drives will be conducted on a monthly basis to rapidly increase the number of members in the USBGA. By launching the National Chapter Program in each of the lower 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii, USBGA members will be able to compete in regional and state tournaments throughout the year. The best member-golfers will advance to compete in the USBGA National Championship®, which will be a part of the USBGA Championship Tour®. For individuals interested in being chapter managers and starting a chapter in their area, please visit the website or call 800-928-5127. Chapter opportunities are limited because of the amount that will be allowed in each state. Click or call to inquire. The USBGA is a member-based association, whose members play the game of golf on a leisure, semi-professional, and professional level. The USBGA prides itself in continuing to pave the way for greater advancements and opportunities for today's minority golfers and golfers of all races and ethnicities in which to benefit. Individuals can become members by visiting www.myusbga.com. Membership is $99.00. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
