Collegiate Golf Alliance (CGA), the premier online registration and golf event management company, announced today that the application period to host a Local Qualifying Event for the 2008 NCGC program has begun. Applications to host a LQ are open until May 26, 2008. Universities that wish to host an event must apply during this period, although specific event details such as date and golf course are not required on the application.
Winning teams from Local Qualifiers advance to the 7th Annual National Collegiate Golf Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada November 7-10 2008. The California based company has teamed with the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) to manage the 2008 National Collegiate Golf Championship. A 2 person scramble event for collegiate and university amateurs, the NCGC allows golfers to compete for their university to see who will be the National Champion. The Championship has three divisions: Student, Faculty/Staff and Alumni/Community. For more event

This amateur golf event is focused on university recreational golfers and consists of 30-50 local qualifying tournaments held across the United States in spring, summer and fall. Local Qualifying winners advance to the official National Collegiate Golf Championship in Las Vegas. The CGA and NIRSA promote and market the event to over 700 colleges and universities making this the premier recreational college golf event. LQ Host schools receive a prize package valued at over $1000 and over $80 per player. LQ Host schools that have over 50 players receive a
Southwest Airline Round Trip ticket to defer travel costs to the Championship.
Over the past six years the NCGC programs have benefited the NIRSA Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities for students through professional development, research, scholarships, and educational resources.
“As a competitive golfer in high school, I thought my time to compete in high-level golf tournaments was over when I enrolled at Marquette University. But upon arriving in Las Vegas, Nevada, to play in the National Collegiate Golf Tournament, I realized that absolutely was not true. From the beginning, my partner and I were treated like real competitors” said John Borneman Marquette University
“We are very excited about the growth and direction of the NCGC program. As more schools offer the opportunity to Students, Staff and Alumni to participate and compete, the thrill of representing your university is now available to thousands of participants. With the National Championship now being covered by Fox Sports West, our reach and exposure should be outstanding” Stated CGA’s President and CEO Mike Munson.
Billed as the Largest Collegiate Golf Event in the World, the NCGC is excited to begin its march to the Championship. This year's sponsors include: Southwest Airlines, Red Bull, Fox Sports West, Matrix Fitness, American Golf, Upswing Golf AlmostGolf, Golf World and Oakley. To provide additional resources, CGA has appointed six regional managers to assist in the programming of campus golf events as well as help coordinate the National Tournament.
For hosting a NCGC Local Qualifier the school receives a Upswing driver, hybrid, putter, beverage cart sponsored by Matrix Fitness, AlmostGolf practice balls, shag tube and 2 pair of Oakley Sunglasses for their Red Bull Final 5 winners. The NCGC provides all players with an Upswing wedge, ball marker hat clip, Red Bull samples and one year subscription to Golf World.
