CAPITAL REGION GOLF ASSOCIATION
The Capital Region has a rich history of golf including terrific individual and team tournaments. Instead of establishing a slate of new tournaments, the CRGA's primary focus is to provide support to (1) existing individual stroke play tournaments that (2) are a minimum of 36 holes and (3) are open to all golfers in the Capital District's eleven counties.
The CRGA have partnered with the Tri-County Match Play Championship, the Saratoga County Amateur Championship, and Troy Invitational. These partners continue to operate independently but have joined forces with CRGA/NYSGA to provide support and increase their exposure to the golfers in the region.
In 2024, the CRGA will be holding its first competition (see below) - with more planned for the future.
THE CAPITAL REGION'S PREMIER AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
The 1st Annual Capital Region Amateur Championship, for men and women, will be held at McGregor Links Country Club on June 21-23, 2024. Visit the Championship's website to learn more and register.
AREA GOLF CALENDAR
The CRGA has made available an area calendar of tournaments that are open to the public and at least 36 holes (individual and two-person teams). Tournament administrators can contact CRGA (see below) to have your eligible event considered for inclusion.
CAPITAL REGION PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
To recognize the region's best golfer, the CRGA is adopting the following Points Lists:
GOLFER RANKINGS
Players in the Capital Region will see an emphasis on adding new tournaments, and modifying existing, so that they are eligible for national rankings. This will ensure the area's best golfers will be recognized nationally and provide junior golfers with more local tournaments that are ranked, which is important to college coaches.
