Thank you to all who participated in this year's Member Madness giveaways! Congratulations to the following winners:
*Grand Prize* $2000 Bandon Dunes Golf Resort Gift Card -- Roger Adams, Centennial GC“Proud to be an OGA member and thanks for this incredible prize.

$750 Bar Run Golf Resort Gift Card -- Patty Knittel, Eagle Crest Resort
$750 Sunriver Golf Resort Gift Card -- Derek Rasheed, Heron Lakes GC
$750 Salishan Coastal Lodge Gift Card -- Sue Gaulke, Indian Creek WGA
“My OGA club at Indian Creek has such fun members and great competitions which I have enjoyed for many years. I also really appreciate the member invites to the Nike and Columbia Employee Stores.”
$300 Seamus Gift Card -- Cameron Dishman, O.G.A. Portland Metro
“I’ve been a member of OGA for 3+ years and have loved it. I’ve gone to the Nike, Adidas, and Columbia employee stores multiple times which is fun for someone coming outside of the Portland area. I’ve loved the opportunity to challenge myself in OGA golf tournaments and enjoy the variety of types of tournaments they put on. I was lucky enough to be a monthly winner of the prize giveaways and won a $300 gift certificate to Seamus golf which I plan to buy a new golf bag. Super stoked about this season!”
$300 Jones Gift Card -- Karl Meyer, NW Golf Guys
“The OGA membership and USGA GHIN app has helped me improve my overall game by supplying me my bi-weekly handicap scores, course layouts, tracking shots, putts, fairways hit, etc. allowing me the knowledge to work on specific parts of my game, and I’ve seen the improvements over the last three years. Thanks to the Emerald Valley staff and players making the game of golf fun and welcoming to everyone, not to mention the course is always in pristine condition!”
