Golf Associations
There are four busy associations, MGA (Men's Golf Assoc). MSGA (Men's Seniors), WNGA (Women's Nine Hole) and the WGA (Women's Golf). All are inclusive and considered the Welcome Wagon to new residents of the community. All are philanthropic organizations. The MGA has been committed to fund raising activities working with Arnie's Army and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. In 2011 the BallenIsles MGA set a national one day money earnings record on behalf of Arnie's Army. In 2012, yet another new one day record was set. Both events were noted on Reuters big screen overlooking Times Square.
The WNGA is committed to Play for Pink setting new fund raising records the last 3 years. The WGA also holds an annual event on behalf of Play for Pink and the MSGA raises money for the USGA 1st Tee program.

Famous quotes containing the words golf and/or associations:
“A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.”
—Frank Butler (1890–1967)
“Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self- Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
