The ASGA Constitution and Bylaws require that membership renewals be completed by January 1 of the upcoming year for the member to remain active and eligible to participate in ASGA tournaments. To encourage that this requirement is met a process is described in a post by 'Sammy Charles' on Monday September 14. Members are encouraged to review the post and it is hoped that a majority of members will renew by the January 1 deadline and avoid the late fee penalty that will be imposed when renewing after the deadline. (A previous version of the Deadline post erroneously showed the deadline to be December 1).
Renewal by the deadline ensures that members will remain in the active handicap and tournament signup database, thus eliminating confusion and extra work when members attempt to signup for a tournament at the last minute.
