Greetings!
It's February, and golfers in Rochester know what that means - registration for most 2020 Rochester District Golf Association Tournaments is now OPEN!

RDGA golfers have many exciting tournament options this year on the  2020 RDGA Tournament Schedule  - from our Men's and Women's Championships, to our annual two-person team events, to our always-popular RDGA Play Day - there are events for golfers of all ages and abilities, men and women, on this season's schedule.

Also open for registration is the 2020 RDGA eClub . If you aren't a member of an RDGA Member Club but would like an official GHIN Handicap Index that is active through February, 2021, check out a 2020 membership in the RDGA eClub today.

We invite you to take a look at the 2020 RDGA Tournament schedule, the RDGA eClub - and join us for the new Rochester Golf Expo next month at the Bill Grays Regional Iceplex as we get ready for a new season of golf in Rochester!
