The Bermuda Golf Association was formed on September 20th 1950, as an association of local golf clubs. The greatest accomplishment during its first year was the adoption of the U.S.G.A. Handicap System for men. In 1970, the Association was reconstituted as an organisation of affiliated individuals.
As the governing body of golf in Bermuda, the B.G.A. is responsible for organising major national competitions such as the Bermuda Amateur Championships for Men and Ladies; the Bermuda Mixed Foursome Championships; The Bermuda Four Ball Championships; the Bermuda Open Golf Championship; the Bermuda Seniors Championships for Men and Ladies and the Bermuda Goodwill Tournament, one of the best and certainly the largest, event organised by the Association.
International teams are selected by the B.G.A. to compete in such overseas events as the World Amateur Golf Council Team Championships Eisenhower Trophy and the Espirito Santo Trophy held every two years.
Bermuda Ladies have travelled to the Women's International Invitation Championship since 1979, an event usually held in the Caribbean.website: http://www.bermudagolf.org
