When a few friends came together with the vision of forming the Champion Golfers Association (CGA), I knew it would take dedication, effort, and attention to detail to make that vision a reality. Today, I am thrilled to see how far we have come.
What began as a simple idea—sharing the joy of golf—has grown into something far greater: a thriving community built on friendship, competition, and the love of the game. It brings me immense happiness to witness our dream not only take shape, but flourish at this level.
The journey has been fueled by passion, teamwork, and the belief that while we enjoy playing golf, we can also create something lasting together. Seeing CGA grow into what it is today is both humbling and inspiring, and I am proud to be part of this remarkable journey.
“Turning a vision into reality takes passion, teamwork, and perseverance—CGA embodies all three.”

As one of the founding members of CGA, I started with more enthusiasm than skill — my golf game is still “a work in progress,” but the friendships weren’t. What began as a small group of guys chasing birdies (and usually finding bogeys) has grown into a brotherhood nearly 100 members strong. I couldn’t be prouder to see how far we’ve come. The swings may be questionable, but the laughs, the banter, and the bonds we’ve built are always championship-level. At CGA, Golf may be the excuse, but friendships are the real scorecard at CGA.
Sharpen Skills, Build Community, Experience Golf the CGA Way.
