*Enter into NJSGA Tournaments (low handicap required for most tournaments)
Last year's rate was $28. USGA raised their price by $2 beginning this season so the new rate is $30. Most golf courses charge $35-$50 for the same service.
Though most of us will not play in tournaments, you can join NJSGA to take advantage of the discounts. Most of their listed golf courses which have a special rate or or discount will save you around 20% off green fees which will easily get your $30 membership fee back after about 2 rounds.
If you're interested or have questions, please reply to [address removed]. Do not hit reply all.
You can pay using PayPal. Send $30 to [address removed] and select "send to family and friends". If you don't have PayPal, you can use your financial institution's P2P (person to person) payment and send money to my email as well. If you would like to mail a check, email me and i can forward you further instructions.
