Congratulations to the National Allied Golf Associations (NAGA) of Alberta for being honoured with the 2020 PGA of Alberta Jack Skellern Patron of the Year Award!

During the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, NAGA Alberta worked closely with the Alberta Government and played a pivotal part in allowing golf facilities to open back up while protecting the health and safety of everyone. Thanks to the efforts of NAGA Alberta, golf facilities were able to open on May 2nd allowing golfers to get back outside and play the sport they love during an unprecedented time.

NAGA Alberta is made up of five different organization’s (listed below) that all played an important part in bringing golf back safely to the province of Alberta. We would like to also recognize the efforts of Bruce McAllister who was contracted on behalf of NAGA Alberta to put golf’s best interests forward when working with the Alberta Government to bring golf back.
