Sponsors of the FSGA will gain access to our affluent group of individual members. With over 200,000 golfers statewide, representing hundreds of private country clubs and daily-fee courses, regular exposure would be gained to this large and high net-worth demographic. Multiple print and electronic communications and signage, reach our 200,000 members regularly. The FSGA offers many ways for you to align your brand with the most influential and affluent golfers in Florida.
THE FSGA
MEMBER Not only are FSGA members the most avid golfers in Florida, but they represent an affluent group within the state. As members of private clubs or regulars at daily-fee courses, they are an influential force not only within the Florida golf economy but they make up a desired consumer base that can be difficult to reach. FSGA members are regular users of the Internet, email, and social media. We actively use this medium to communicate to our members through our newly redesigned Website, online magazines, emails, and text messaging.
