About the Missouri Golf Association
The Missouri Golf Association was started in St. Louis in 1905 to run the Amateur Championship. The four founding clubs would be the ones in existence in St Louis in those early years. St Louis Country Club, Algonquin Golf Club, Glen Echo Golf Club and Normandie Golf Club. By invitation only at first, then four years later, in 1909 the Missouri Amateur was held in Kansas City at Evanston Club, (soon after became Hillcrest in 1917). 1911 marked a real organization of the MGA with Bonner Miller as Secretary and virtual Executive Director. He ran the tournament until his death in 1942. The Missouri Golf Association is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote the best interests and true spirit of the game of golf throughout the State of Missouri.
