GAM, USGA Announce New
Alliance Membership Program

February 18, 2009

The Golf Association of Michigan and the United States Golf Association have joined forces to provide Michigan golfers with the benefits of both organizations, with no additional cost to members involved.

The USGA/GAM Alliance Membership Program is a strategic partnership that will automatically enroll all 2009 first-time and renewing GAM members into the USGA Members Program, at the singular cost of the GAM annual fee. Current individual and dual USGA members at the basic level will receive an additional year of USGA membership, and will receive all benefits of the Alliance Membership Program. Public-facility players will receive automatic enrollment in this program, while private-facility players will be enrolled following club approval.

Along with the current GAM membership benefits, Alliance Members will receive all the benefits of the USGA Members Program, including:

  • A custom personalized GAM/USGA bag tag
  • Early application for USGA championship tickets, including the U.S. Open
  • The USGA/GAM Insider E-Newsletter , a USGA publication specifically tailored to the needs of the Michigan golfer
  • The opportunity to volunteer at USGA-sanctioned events and championships
