OGA, USGA Announce New
Alliance Membership Program
February 18, 2009

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

The USGA/OGA Alliance Membership Program is a one-year, strategic partnership that will automatically enroll all 2009 first-time and renewing OGA members into the USGA Members Program, at the singular cost of the OGA 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.

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

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