Who are we?
The New England Golf Association (NEGA), established in 1926, is a 501(c)3 amateur golf organization comprised of leaders from the six New England golf association - Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. With a mission to service the golf community in the region, the NEGA's primary purpose is to conduct the following premier championship events: The New England Amateur Championship, the New England Senior Amateur Championship, and the New England Junior Invitational.
The Big Three

Additional, we host seven sectional qualifiers in order to determine the field for both the New England Amateur Championship and the New England Senior Amateur Championship.
New England Amateur Championship

- The 72-hole stroke play event hosts a field of 156 competitors.
- In 2017, the NEGA introduced a sectional qualifying round to ensure the top competition advances to the Championship round.
- Premier venues have included clubs such as Winchester CC, The Country Club, Worcester CC, Wannamoisett CC, Portland CC, Portsmouth CC, The Course at Yale, and Equinox Club.

New England Junior Invitational
