Member rewards

Great news!!

The NALG Board of Directors has approved new tiered membership levels along with additional benefits for NALG members.  These benefits can more than compensate for the small cost of membership.

For those of you that have been members of the NALG for many years, you will recall that the only benefit of being a member was our Southpaw Newsletter and being able to play in the National Tournament.  In more recent years, the hardcopy of the newsletter was discontinued and an email version created.  This new version of the newsletter was emailed to all members and those on our contact list.  This enabled us to communicate with more lefties but it eliminated the differentiator of being a member.  That made some members of the Board wondering, “Why be a member?” – other than wanting to support lefty golf which we all love.

Several board members began brainstorming ways to increase membership value.  That led to the recommendation and approval of two new membership benefits.  The first is that an NALG member will receive a $10 discount to each NALG-sanctioned tournament.  So if you play in several different tournaments you more than get your money back.  Secondly, any state champion will receive a $100 discount on their entry to the National Tournament.

Last year the NALG received it 501c3 non-profit status enabling donations to be deductible.  Led by Chairman Sid Miner, the NALG is embarking on an enhanced marketing plan.  We hope to raise the awareness and support for lefty golf.  I don’t know how many times I have heard “I didn’t know there was a state lefties or a national lefty golf organization or tournaments!”

As mentioned earlier, the NALG has new tiered membership levels.  Each level comes with more benefits with some portion of the upper membership levels being deductible.  Members also receive logoed merchandise based on the level of membership.  Check out the membership page on the website for more details.
