2011 Tournament Schedule

We are in the final stages of completing our 2011 TGA Tournament Schedule. While we are still working to finalize the last several events, the TGA will be posting the updated schedule on our website on February 1st. (www.golfhousetennessee.com) I am in the process of solidifying dates for our three TGA Championships Series events and will hope to add those to the tournament schedule within the next few weeks.

Be on the lookout for an email from the TGA regarding signing up for your new Player I.D. and Password. The TGA has switched some of the tournament software that we use and it will require players to create a new and updated account. Again, you will be receiving an email from us within the next week or so regarding the sign up process and the steps that need to be taken.

We hope everyone has had a wonderful off-season and we look forward to warmer temperatures that will allow us to shake the dust off the clubs!

TGA Is Awarded Tax Exempt Status

The Internal Revenue Service has recently approved the Tennessee Golf Association's application for a change in tax status. The TGA is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under the Internal Revenue Code.

TGA members and tournament players will not see much difference in how the association operates, but the TGA will be able to utilize this new tax status to accept tax-deductible contributions from individuals among other benefits for the association and its volunteers.
