About NEIGA

 

Golf BlissThe New England Intercollegiate Golf Association (NEIGA) is a non-profit organization, which was first organized in 1934 at the Oakley Country Club in Watertown, Massachusetts. With the exception of the World War II years of 1941-45, it has maintained both individual and team championships annually. For years, It was believed to be the largest gathering of collegiate players from NCAA Divisions I, II and III competing at the same location on a 36-hole layout. There were 36 teams between men and women that participated in the 2017 fall championship hosted at The Captains Golf Course in Brewster, Massachusetts on October 22-23. This location provides two par-72 golf courses and many volunteers to assist in numerous ways.


 

The NEIGA tournament receives national recognition. NCAA committees recognize this tournament as an important event in the selection of teams and individuals to be nominated for the NCAA national tournaments. The NEIGA receives support from the Massachusetts Golf Association who supplies officials to interpret rules and assist the rules committee.
