Welcome...

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ottawa Valley Golf Association, it is with great pleasure, I welcome you to the OVGA website.

Thanks to the grateful support of Flagstick Magazine, the website now has a new look and will continue to evolve in the future. In addition to the design and management of the OVGA website, Flagstick Magazine is also the title sponsor for the Men=s, Senior and Junior Intersectional competitions.

In addition to Flagstick Magazine, the OVGA is pleased to be working with two other sponsors in 2008. The Ottawa Citizen Amateur Golf Championship will be the title sponsor of the Senior Championship; and Humber College is now the title sponsor of the Junior Championship. Their assistance is greatly appreciated.

Representing nearly12, 000 members at over 80 golf clubs, the Association is unique in that its geographical boundary is spread over two provinces. Serving its members for over 25 years, the Ottawa Valley Golf Association works tirelessly to promote amateur golf through recreational and competitive tournaments. In addition to tournament administration, the OVGA provides services such as: Handicap & Course Rating, Rules of Golf Seminars and Junior golf development.

I would like to personally extend a special word of thanks to the many volunteers, Club Captains and the OVGA Board of Directors, who devote countless hours to grow the game of golf in the Ottawa valley and Outaouais region. It is through their commitment and expertise that the Ottawa Valley Golf Association is so successful.In closing, I wish you all the best in the 2008 golfing season and I encourage you to visit this site often to keep up to date on what is happening in the OVGA !

Sincerely,

John Lachance

President, Ottawa Valley Golf Association
