Establish An OGA Corporate Partnership

Golf is also the sport of business and now the Oregon Golf Association is willing to provide a select number of companies an ideal year-round platform for reaching the Pacific Northwest’s most avid golf audience. Those companies looking for the right vehicle to drive business should consider creating a meaningful and measurable partnership with the OGA and its 50,000+ passionnate golfing members in Oregon and Washington. 

Image is everything and we’ve got it.  As a partner, you’ll tap the equity of the regional governing bodies for the sport, along with our vision and our values.   Our core values and beliefs include being community-spirited, forward thinking, proud of our heritage, and committed to serving our members by providing quality facilities, services and benefits that are welcoming, hospitable, are customer service oriented and provide an excellent value.

With our relationship you’ll be able to capitalize on close, relevant and appreciated connections with an affluent and influential audience. In golf, the Pacific Northwest has never looked better.  Our courses are being recognized more and more on an international stage having hosted more than 10 major amateur and professional championships in just the past five years.

The OGA's goal is to be able to have the resources to expand direct tangible benefits to our members, as well as develop additional resources so that we may enhance the services we presently offer the golf community whether its programs such as Junior Golf, The First Tee, the
First Green, Evans Scholarship Funds or other opportunities to boost the game of golf at facilities across the region.

Companies interested in reaching golf’s enthusistic and diverse demographics are invited to contact the Oregon Golf Associations to see if a partnership program can be tailored to meet their needs.  A limited number of Official Partner opportunities are available.  Inquiries should be made by contacting Eric Yaillen at the OGA.

The benefits are good, but our local course members are complaining about the increase in OGA dues.  Our members simply want a GHIN handicap.  You should keep the membership dues below $25 per year.

Thanks for your input.  GHIN is simply a computation service offered exclusively through licensed golf associations to provide a USGA Handicap Index.  It is just one of many tangible benefits and services offered along with membership in the Oregon Golf Association. Please visit http://www.oga.org/docs/OGA_Member_Benefits_Flyer.pdf for a comprehensive list detailing your benefits as a member of the OGA.

I am excited about all the OGA is offering this year.  In a time when so many things seem to be imploding you are expanding, and only for $10 more a year.  I am sure I can fine several foursomes from Newport that will come over to play the OGA Course.

The most common excuse I hear is “I only played 9 holes”.  Our course has each nine rated.

I remember on TV when a PGA tournament was rain and wind delayed this year when the announcers discussed that a ball moved by the wind had to be replaced.  The officials can’t get it right and TV commentators can’t get it right either.

Tony,

This was a tricky scenario - I have amended the post a bit to better address your comment.

Thanks you for your interest in the Rules of Golf - regards,

What if:  after the penalty stroke, marking the ball on the green, and replacing it:  it moved again, and again into the hazard??

Question;  in ‘placing’ the ball after marking it;  can you press it down a bit to help it not move again???

I was above the hole on slick green.  After marking it and replacing it, the ball moved, much closer to the hole.  An official told me I had to replace it since I had marked, cleaned, replaced it;  I could only leave if not marked.  Incorrect?

Jim,

If you have not yet addressed the ball (stance &
grounding club) and the ball moves on its own, even after replacing it, the ball must be played at the new location.  Pressing the ball into the green would be a two stroke penalty (Rule 13-2). Craig
