Amputee Membership is open to any individual who has experienced the loss of one or more extremities at a major joint due to amputation or birth defect. Those with other types of amputation are considered for membership on an individual basis. Associate Membership is available to all non-amputees who are interested in our activities and support the work of the association. Life Membership is also available to anyone interested. The EAGA
membership has grown and expanded each year to where we are now close to 900
members.

– Special Several years ago, the NAGA instituted a special NAGA Membership program for its Regional Affiliates. That special membership opportunity has been extended for 2012 and any EAGA Member who wishes to be a member of the National Amputee Golf Association will be able to do so at a Special Membership Fee of $10.00. Your NAGA Membership Fee will actually stay with the EAGA and be applied to the EAGA’s Milas Rose Fund. The Milas Rose Fund provides for complimentary EAGA Memberships to any wounded soldier who wishes to play golf and be a member of the EAGA. In 2011, 80 Wounded Warriors received Memberships to the EAGA through the Milas Rose Fund. The EAGA Office will send your NAGA Membership information directly to the NAGA Office so they can update their database and send out your NAGA Membership Card, Bag Tag etc. I would like to encourage all our EAGA Members to join the NAGA if you do not already belong. For NAGA to have a greater presence in soliciting support from the prosthetic and golf companies as well as other business that support our goals, it is very important that we assist our National organization efforts to increase its membership ranks. This special membership program will help us to do just that. Remember that if it wasn’t for the NAGA and their support, the EAGA would never have been organized and be thriving today. Our support also assists the “First Swing” Seminar & Clinic program, the NAGA College Scholarship Fund and the NAGA “Most Improved Golfer” Award, which is donated for each of our Eastern Tournaments. Thanks for your consideration of a NAGA membership. Please come and help us continue to bring golf to the Amputee Community. Please contact 1-800-633-6242 or e-mail b1naga@aol.com for additional membership information or go to the NAGA Web Site www.nagagolf.com.
