What is the Saturday Golf Association?

The Saturday Golf Association has been in existence since 1955.  The SGA is a "Pay As U Play" league that schedules play at more than 24 courses around the Greater Rochester, NY Area.  Every Saturday, from the end of April through September, there is a course scheduled for play.  A member of the USGA and RDGA, the SGA is currently made up of over 190+ active members!

 
Who Can Join?

Men, Women, Students, and Seniors of all skill levels are welcome.  The league follows USGA rules as noted.  Fill out the SGA Membersip Application form to join.


What is "Pay As U Play?"

Under the "Pay As U Play" methodology, you pay only when you play, providing you the maximum flexibility and cost savings.  Additionally, no subs are required when you do not play.  You decide (just like the pros) what courses and tournaments you want to play throughout the season.  Our tee times are always at prime time Saturday morning starting at sun up and ending approximately 9 am.  Each week is treated as an individual tournament playing USGA rules challenging you to many different course designs.


Tee Times

We typically reserve about 20-25 tee times starting as early as 6:00am and some as late as 10:30am depending for which week.  Each tee time is taken the Monday with  teh TD before the Saturday starting at 7:30am until 8:00am sharp.  After this, all tee times are taken by the Weekly Tournament Director directly until the Friday before the Saturday.  This process repeats weekly.

To reserve a tee time, call:

Mondays 7:30am - 8:00am. DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE

Handicaps

Handicaps will be based on the USGA slope method and formula.  Handicap index (ex. 15.6) will replace the pre-slope handicap (ex. 16), except for new members who do not have an established handicap (see below).  The handicap index will be used each week to determine the handicap for the next tournament based on the slope rating for that particular golf course.  For example, a handicap of 28.5 would increase to pre-slope handicap of 31 at a course with a slope of 124.

Senior, Women, Whites, Blue, and Back Tee handicaps available.


Flights

The membership is divided into four flights based on the approximate handicap ranges listed below:


Format

Individual stroke play from assigned tees as declared at start of season.  Seniors and women play from designated tees if made available by golf course.

“Best Ball" is a best-ball competition format in which the teams consist of 1 to 4 players.  Each player on the team plays his own ball until completing the hole, then the lower of the net scores is recorded as the team score for that hole.
