USF offers two ways for students, faculty, staff and alumni to enjoy golf with their colleagues. Recreational Sports offers a weekly social and lightly instructional outing at Golden Gate Park Golf Course, aimed at the beginning golfer. The USF Golf Club, an NCGA Associate Club begun in 1995, provides members of the campus community with the opportunity to get an official handicap through Northern California's governing body an to play in amateur competitions.
NCGA Associate Club: USF Golf Club I
The Northern California Golf Association is the governing body for golf in Northern California. USF Golf Club is a recognized Associate Club with the NCGA, which means that its members have all the rights and privileges of membership without direct association with a specific golf course. Any USF faculty, staff, student, or alumni can join the club at any time. The priority membership window for the NCGA is December and there is a $10 additional fee for joining outside of that timeframe.
The club will be sponsoring several outings at local golf courses in 2013. In past years these have focused on great S.F. courses like Harding Park, Fleming, Gleneagles International, and the Presidio. This year we will likely be traveling further afield for outings around the Bay Area and Monterey.
Joining the USF Golf Club costs $50 and means becoming a member of NCGA. Membership in NCGA offers several benefits to the golfer. Find out more info at the NCGA website:
- Participation in the GHIN Golf Handicap system, allowing the user to post scores, track performance over time, and use the results for official competitions.
