Introducing: USGA Tournament Management for RDGA Member Clubs
Since November 1, 2017 and throughout all of 2018, all but 5 RDGA Member Clubs have converted to the new USGA Tournament Management Club program (TM-Club for short) - with well over half the Member Clubs becoming active users of TM-Club in this first season. If your club has yet to make this transition, and you would like to learn more about the process, please read the TM-Club Announcement and the TM-Club Information Fact Sheet at the links listed below.
Clubs desiring to use the new program are invited to attend a TM Training Seminar prior to using the software. Future TM Training Seminars may be scheduled in the Rochester area based upon demand - and registration is available online.
