When the merger between the Massachusetts Golf Association (MGA) and Women’s Golf Association of Massachusetts (WGAM) became official on January 1, 2018, two organizations became one. Both organizations brought a combined 200+ years of history together.
Below is a list of individuals who made an indelible mark on each respective organization by serving as president for the WGAM and MGA dating back to 1900. On behalf of Mass Golf, we thank each and every one for their dedicated service to the game of golf.
