September 7th, 2007 at 8:13 pmHello Mohinder,
If you would like to rejoin the association you will need to join through an NCGA club; NCGA is a golf association of golf clubs, not individual members as the handicap system depends on peer review. You can sign up through a regular club (affiliated with a golf course) or an associate club (those affiliated with places of employment, social groups, etc.), or an NCGA eClub: http://www.ncga.org/ncga-services/eclub/
You can access NCGA clubs on our website via the Associate Club Directory, the Golf Course Directory or aforementioned eClub sections. Some of these club entries have their individual website links and may allow you to join that particular club through their website.
NCGA membership runs on a calendar year; we have an Annual Fall Renewal Period which starts shortly before October 1st and always concludes with the December cutoff date for the January 1 indexes. During the renewal period, you can retain membership for the remainder of 2007 and all of 2008 for one price. If you would like additional information please feel free to give us a call at the NCGA office (831) 625-4653. Thanks.

September 10th, 2007 at 9:46 amJohn,

September 24th, 2007 at 10:44 amI’m an active duty military member, attending the Naval Postgraduate School and will graduate in March ‘08. My question is: if I renew my membership, will my GHIN account still be active and follow me to my new duty station (Rhode Island)?

October 4th, 2007 at 10:35 amI would like to reinstate my membership. Can I do it on line or do I have to call. My #0809606. Thank You
October 17th, 2007 at 7:33 pmMichael,
To renew your membership you need to renew through your current club or join another club. Membership renewals through an NCGA eClub can be done online: http://www.ncga.org/ncga-services/eclub/.
If you would like more information on how to contact a particular club please feel free to contact anyone in the membership department. For now your GHIN number is still available to you and it is important to inform any club you join that you still have a GHIN number. If I can be of any further assistance please call me at 831-625-4653. Thank you.
October 18th, 2007 at 10:25 amHow does one go about renewing NCGA maembership?
October 19th, 2007 at 10:22 amHow do I renew? Can I do it online? If so, where?
October 19th, 2007 at 12:56 pmStrange that you do not have a way to do it in this message??????
how do i renew ? online?
October 19th, 2007 at 4:02 pmMembership in the NCGA is through a golf club. THe NCGA’s many clubs have different policies regarding renewing or joining.
The NCGA does offer online renewal to the members of its eClubs:
http://www.ncga.org/ncga-services/eclub/
Membership in an NCGA eClub is available through this link. We will can then assist you in finding membership in another regular or associate club if you wish.

I am a member of two clubs, am I required to pay multi-membership fee to both clubs?
October 20th, 2007 at 12:08 amNewt,
Yes you are required to pay both clubs and you might even find that the clubs have different fees. Each club determines their own fees. The NCGA charges each club $40 for a new member, $30 for renewing member and $6.00 for juniors. Some clubs add administrative costs, tournament costs etc which is why you might not find consistency in the amount charged per member. The NCGA used to give a discount to multi members but over the past two years the number of rebate submissions has dropped 43% to an all-time low and to a point where only a little over 6% of those eligible for a rebate have applied. This drastic decline coupled with the high cost and resources necessary to process applications, do not justify the continuance of the program.
October 20th, 2007 at 1:08 amIf further explanation is needed please feel free to contact the membership department at 831-625-4653. Thank you.
My question is the same as some above. How do I renew online? You should be able to click on something, give your NCGA # and fill out the payment info. Thanks
October 21st, 2007 at 9:03 amNCGA memberships are renewed through the members club. Online renewal is available to the members of an NCGA eClub: http://www.ncga.org/ncga-services/eclub/.
Each club is its own entity therefore all membership fees can be different from each club and must be paid directly to the club. The NCGA oversees clubs and the clubs oversee their members. If any member has questions on how to contact their club please feel free to contact the membership department at NCGA and we can give the handicap chairperson and/or billing contact for their club. Membership Department can be reached at 831-625-4653.
October 22nd, 2007 at 8:44 amI let my membership lapse about 1 year ago. My number was 5669-541. I would like to renew it. What will it cost me and how will I be billed? My address remains the same: 46 Baypoint Village Dr. San Rafael, CA 94901.
November 19th, 2007 at 4:33 pmMark,
Currently you have an active NCGA membership, although your membership will need to be renewed before December 31, 2007. You have several options 1) Renew with the club you are a member with now; 2) Join a new club or 3) Sign up online with one of the eClubs (NCGA electronic club). Please feel free to contact me at 831-625-4653 and I can explain all this in much further detail. Take care.
November 19th, 2007 at 5:35 pmI will be relocating to Texas in January 2008 so renewing with my local club seems pointless. What should I do to maintain my membership and handicap?
November 26th, 2007 at 12:05 pmNoel,
Thank you for your question. All NCGA membership is affiliated with clubs. Unfortunately you cannot be an NCGA member without belonging to one of our regular clubs, associate clubs or eClubs, although we do have many members that live out of state and continue to pay their club membership. Noel, please feel free to contact me by phone and I can assist you in exploring your club options. 831-625-4653
November 26th, 2007 at 12:58 pmDUH…you remind us to renew on your home page but it takes several steps to learn that you cannot renew on line…please post that info on you home page! It’ll save you a few email inquiries.
November 29th, 2007 at 1:06 pmDavid - While we strive to make renewing your membership as easy as possible, your membership in the NCGA is through your club as the NCGA is an association of golf clubs. If that is not clear, we apologize. The message we try to commnicate is one that urges our members to renew through their clubs.
We certainly want your membership experience to be a postive one. Thank you for writing in.
November 29th, 2007 at 3:50 pmI belong to Mather Golf Club. From out of nowhere my December index says I belong to Maters Big Valley Golf Club. I have no clue where this golf club even is. What’s up with this??
December 1st, 2007 at 9:22 amJohn,
In October the NCGA membership department sent out an officer update form for each club. Your club sent theirs back with a new club name which happens from time to time with clubs. Please note your club number has not changed. I did attempt to contact a couple of the officers to verify this information since the box was not checked off, only the name changed, but I never heard back. If you find out there has been error made please have someone contact me directly. Thank you. 831-625-4653
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:49 amI went to my club today to renew my membership and was told they do not do that. They said I should just go online to NCGA and handle this. San Jose Muni is the club and after reviewing my email from NCGA it says go to the club to renew. I wouldn’t mind some clarification. Thanks
December 15th, 2007 at 3:26 pmChris,
You read our email correctly, you do renew your club membership directly with your club. You can call me and I can give you the name and phone number of your contact person with the club that we have record of. I would also suggest you have your club call us so we can clarify the renewal process with them. Please feel free to contact me or anyone in the membership department at 831-625-4653. Take care.
December 17th, 2007 at 9:58 amWould you please let us know how much we have to pay for our Club membership renewal 63-618-1 Nor Cal Players Association total of 21 old members and 2 new members. Any inquiry with regards to NCPA club billing please e-mail
December 17th, 2007 at 11:09 pmBen,
The NCGA bills clubs $40 for new membership and $30 for renewing membership. Your club will see this bill in January. Any questions please feel free to contact us directly at 831-625-4653. Thank you.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:21 pmMy NCGA # is 6821661 and would like you to check when my membership expires, and how much it costs to renew the membership for a junior. Thank You
December 29th, 2007 at 7:45 pmRobert, You will need to make contact with your club handicap chairperson, your membership will expire on January 1, 2008. Your contact is Rusty at 831-442-6980. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact us. Happy New Year.
