About our organization

Member Comments

I have been a member of the SGAA for eight years.

When I joined the SGAA it was strictly to play golf and I played alot of golf at a number of diﬀerent courses. I went to tournaments as a single and soon met a group who had lost one of their normal foursome and asked me to join them on a weekly basis, which I did. But I wanted to play more than once a week, so I continued to go to other weekly tournaments as a single and met so many more guys. It did not take long to get the hang of things and feel comfortable. There is no rule to team up with a twosome or a threesome, you can stay flexible and register as a single for every match you want to play, the SGAA is a very

accommodating organization.

My membership has become much more than golf, now I am playing golf with friends. Who would have thought that at my age I would make so many new friends, and friends they have become.

There are many ways to help build and run the SGAA. I serve on the Board of Directors, on the membership committee and as a Table Worker. Every in-town tournament has four members who serve on the Table, register players for each tournament, take up fees, and record the scores for publication on the SGAA website. This is one of the most rewarding jobs to have in the organization. You get to meet so many members and help them get ready to play their match.

A good way to start is to play as a guest to get familiar with how the SGAA operates.

About Us

At Senior Golfers Association of Atlanta, we believe that golf is more than just a game - it's a way of life. We are dedicated to helping senior (55+) golfers of all skill levels enjoy the sport to the fullest.

SGAA sprung from a group of 8 men who formally agreed to play one Saturday a month in 1956. It was later organized into its present form. During the 1990s the membership exceeded 300; our present membership is around 200.

We play 2 or 3 days a week beginning in mid-January thru mid- December each year. We do not play on Fridays or weekends. We play about 20 local courses and have 4 to 5 out of town trips annually.

We play in four flights, and re-flight every month. Our handicaps range from +3 to 30.

Players may preregister one week before each play date but are not required to. Every member who shows up is allowed to play. Each player is responsible for a $5 fee for each round and his own green fees. We generally get a small discount from posted rates. Our average green fee is under $40. Table fees are a pool for awards within each flight based upon relative scores within the flight.

We also pay awards for birdies, eagles, and close-ups on par 3s.

Complete information is included in the New Member Handbook which can be found at

New Member Handbook (sgaofatlanta.org) .

Check us out. Our schedule can be found at

Schedule (sgaofatlanta.org).

Come out and play with us as a guest. You won't be disappointed.

I’m a Cajun from New Iberia, LA, the small town where

they make Tabasco sauce. I absolutely love Cajun

food, but although my dad owned his own restaurant I didn’t learn

to cook until after I left Louisiana (to my wife’s dismay). I earned a

BS in civil engineering from University of Louisiana Lafayette in 1985

and moved to Jacksonville, FL to start my career. I spent most of

my career as an Application/Sales Engineer. I spent a couple of years with two IT startup companies, and then taught math at St. Pius X High School, later becoming IT Project Manager on a Gwinnett Co Schools project before re-

tiring on Memorial Day 2024!

I met my wonderful wife Anne in Jacksonville and moved to her

hometown Atlanta in the summer of '91. We have 2 beautiful daughters; one a

lawyer, the other an engineer, both happily married and our oldest is expecting our first grandchild (boy) in June!!! We absolutely can’t wait!

I played "poor man" sports growing up (baseball, basketball and football) with baseball as my best sport. My wife got me into tennis when we moved to Atlanta and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing all these years (as my wife describes my play "it's either a winner or hitting the fence"). But I reached my peak skill level and with banged up knees I have dialed down my playing time and moved on to golf.

I belong Holy Cross Catholic Church and have been involved in a variety of functions throughout the years and am praying for guidance on where He wants to use me in retirement. We shall see (maybe He'll want me to play more golf!).

I am absolutely loving retired life, traveling a lot and looking forward to playing plenty of golf. A friend introduced me to SGAA earlier this year. I have enjoyed meeting new golfers and playing a lot of different courses with the group.
