GEM PROGRAM (Golf Enjoyed More)

To enhance the enjoyment of the game of golf the PHGA Board has adopted the GEM Program allowing members to play from tees based upon their age and/or ability for all PHGA sanctioned events.

The PHGA membership by default plays the Blue tees in all PHGA sanctioned events.  Members must petition the PHGA GEM committee requesting approval to play from an alternate tee.  The GEM committee must approve the alternate tee before any member can use an alternate tee in a sanctioned PHGA event.

If you are interested in participating in GEM contact the GEM Committee at by clicking the GEM Request button below.
