Golf
2024 Golf registration is open.
Golf Athletes and Coaches/Volunteers:
While golf is noted as a fall sport for VA State Games, avid golfers practice and play all year. Registration is now open for 2024 and I am confident our golf team/program is eager to play the greatest game ever – GOLF.
Please know that we are adding more events to our golf program, but wanted to announce practice dates and our summer league registrations.
Please note the Annual Golf Invitational Fundraiser is October 10, 2024.

Equipment and Competition
EQUIPMENT: Athletes are to bring their own clubs; however, if you need clubs, contact [email protected] to acquire a set.
WEAR: For practice and play, athletes should wear golf attire. That includes the basic rules of
1. A shirt with sleeves.
2. No denim – this applies to jeans and jean shorts.
3. No clothing with holes in it. It doesn't matter if the attire got the holes due to wear or if it was purchased that way.
4. Beachwear such as swim trunks or surf tees should stay at the beach. This includes footwear- no flip flops, no sandals, no Crocs.

Level 2 – Alt. Shot Team Play Competition [9 hole]

Rules, Protocols and Other information
There are important safety rules and protocols for us to follow – including exhibiting golf etiquette at all times. *
**Very Important - All Athlete medical and forms - registration, physical signed by a medical provider, COVID waiver - must be emailed to: [email protected] (Feel free to cc [email protected])
The paperwork must be current and on file before you can participate.
Athlete families, please verify that your paperwork has been approved before arriving for practice or events. The coaching and volunteer staff cannot accept the forms in person and grant immediate access, as SOVA has the approval authorization.
NOTE: When you submit the athlete paperwork via the [email protected] email address (and volunteer packages to the [email protected] address) they go both to the Area AND to SOVA for processing. (Feel free to cc [email protected])
Stay safe and be well. And, keep practicing your golf game!
