The SCGA was founded July 27, 1899, joining five clubs in Southern California into an association. (Of those five, two remain today: Los Angeles Country Club and Redlands Country Club. Riverside Polo and Golf eventually became today's member, The Victoria Club.) Today, we are one of the largest regional associations in the country, with over
165,000 members in more than 1,250 course and affiliate member clubs.
1999 was a year of celebration for us, and we invited our member clubs to participate.
Through the club delegate program, we distributed centennial medals and posters.
FORE Magazine celebrated our Centennial with a series of articles devoted to the history of golf in Southern California. This five-part series started as an insert in the November/December 1998 issue of FORE Magazine and concluded with the July/August 1999 issue.
