About the MPGA

The mission of the Minnesota Public Golf Association (MPGA) is:

• To foster, uphold, conserve, and promote the true spirit of the game of golf in the State of Minnesota, and
• To plan, promote, and conduct tournaments and/or social events voted on and approved by the MPGA Executive Committee for our Member Clubs.

Membership in the MPGA is limited to public golf clubs located in the State of Minnesota and public golf clubs located in states contiguous to Minnesota which are not members of any other Public Golf Association. A member club must pay annual dues by May 1 of each year to remain a member club in good standing and carry the privileges of participating in MPGA events.

The MPGA membership consists of a Board of Directors - represented by the President or representative of each member club - and an Executive Committee elected by the Board of Directors at the Annual Fall Meeting. The Executive Committee consists of officers (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer), At-Large Members elected by the Board of Directors, the MGA Public Golf Manager, and the immediate Past President as an ex officio member.

The schedule of meetings for the MPGA open to the full membership is as follows:

• The MPGA Fall Business Meeting is generally held in October upon completion of the competitive season for presentation of championship awards, election of Executive Committee members, and other significant MPGA business as recommended by the MPGA Executive Committee.
• The MPGA Spring Kickoff Meeting is generally held in March prior to the competitive season to present details of up-coming competitive season events and other significant business of the MPGA as recommended by the MPGA Executive Committee. Match Play details are typically finalized at this meeting.
