Northern California Left Handed Golfer's Association (NCLHGA)

The Northern California Left Handed Golfer's Association (NCLHGA) is celebrating the 60th year of providing challenging and enjoyable competition for those who play the game left handed. The Association conducts a variety of tournaments throughout the year, including team and individual competitions for members and guests.

The Northern California Left Handed Golfer's Club (NCLHGC) was established in 1995 as an Associate Member Club of The Northern California Golf Association (NCGA). The Club through its membership with the NCGA provides members a monthly USGA handicap index, the opportunity to qualify for NCGA sponsored tournaments and membership privileges at the two NCGA Golf Courses, Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach and Poppy Ridge in Livermore.

The NCLHGA is one of many left-handed golfer's associations located throughout the United States. The Association and Club are nonprofit organizations governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Left-handed golfers of all skill levels including juniors are welcome to join the NCLHGA. All tournaments are formated in handicap flights. To become a member you must be a left-handed golfer and respect the honor, integrity and tradition of the great game of golf.

The NCLHGA is more than a regional association with members from Southern California, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

The NCLHGA also organizes James Cup International Championship. This is a Match Play Championship, best described as the Ryder Cup for amateur lefties worldwide. The 2005 Matches were played in Dublin, Ireland. Players from 11 countries participated.
