Message from our President - February 26, 2025

​

Notes from SPGA Annual Meeting held February 20, 2025​

 

1. New this season: non-members can now join your team as an official guest, so your team is eligible for prizes in our tournaments! The non-member rate for the Spring scramble is $100. 

 

2. With the insane rate of inflation the past several years our association has been struggling to keep up. With that, we voted to increase our member dues slightly this season. The membership dues for 2025 will be $60. I understand this might cause a bit of a hardship for some but we appreciate your continued support and membership to keep our association alive!

 

3. In an effort to grow our association, we will be extending the new member incentive to join by waiving the annual membership dues for first time members. This incentive is limited to only current or retired SPD to encourage more growth internally.

 

4. In an additional effort to grow, it has just been voted to open membership to LE beyond SPD. Now, current or retired local LEOs from other agencies can join the SPGA as associate members and participate in all golf events starting 2025. 

 

5. Family members may still join as "associate" members with you. They are welcomed! And if you have close friends who are not SPD but interested in joining, bring them out to join you as a guest. Once they are known by other SPGA members they are eligible to join as a "sponsored" member.

 

Article XIII Section 1 of the bylaws states: "Individuals who are friends with numerous Seattle Police personnel belonging to SPGA, may be "sponsored" as an "associate" member of SPGA. Associate members may participate in the activities of the association to include Match Play, Tournaments, and Banquet."

 

Encourage them to come out this year to allow for their eligibility next season! 

 

Now my request to you...

 

Please start spreading the word to your coworkers, fellow LEOs, family members, and friends of our upcoming season and membership. I want our association to grow and thrive but need everyone's support to keep it afloat. Forward this email to anyone who you think might be interested! Thank you all! 

 

Stay tuned for a follow up email with the match competition courses and deadlines and possible other upcoming tournament info! See you on the course. 

 ​

Jeremy Farkas

President, SPGA
