RGA ratchets up membership incentives
In an effort to lure more members, the Refaluwasch Golf Association has ratcheted up its membership incentives for the 2006 season.
According to RGA president Jess Wabol, the golf club has approved additional incentives for its annual Low Net award and Sid K. Peter Memorial award. The latter is given to the duffer that takes part in the most number of qualifying and monthly tournaments for the year.
Unlike the past when winning the two plums will only get you a trophy and chump change, this year’s winners of the Low Net and Sid K. Peter awards will each take home $100, a trophy, and free RGA membership for a year.
The prizes for the RGA Club Champion remains the same with the winner bagging $200, trophy, free RGA membership, and entry fee to a tournament of his choice.
For more information about RGA and its monthly tournaments, contact Wabol at 288-1129. Tony Satur can be reached at 322-1562/1563, while Sonny Flores can be reached at 234-1748.
