Membership Benefits

What the MIGCA does . . .

The MIGCA remains active by supporting and promoting the game of golf and academic achievement. The association honors high school golfers by recognizing achievement on and off the golf course selecting 10 All State teams and academic awards for teams and individuals who excel in the classroom.

The MIGCA encourages professional growth by promoting a winter conference and a spring clinic. The Winter Conference open to coaches and their players, is held in conjunction with the West Michigan Golf Show in Grand Rapids. Our Spring Clinic is held in early May and has historically been hosted at a northern resort. The 2011 Spring Clinic returns to the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. This will be the final year for the Spring Clinic as it is being moved to September, 2011. These events are designed to keep the membership informed and up to date with MHSAA rules and regulations, the rules of golf, and successful coaching methods. In addition, they provide time for members to renew old friendships and establish new ones.

The MIGCA honors our outstanding member coaches by hosting a Hall of Fame/Coach of the Year Banquet in March. This year the banquet is being held at Oak Pointe Country Club in Brighton. This awards luncheon highlights coaches who have been selected District, Regional, and State Coaches of the Year along with the induction ceremony of the Hall of Fame Class of 2011.
