A dinner meeting and at least one golf event is held by ASGA chapters each month. Some chapters play golf more than once a month and large chapters may have something planned every weekend. Members have the opportunity to enjoy a number of very fine courses at rates negotiated for ASGA golf events. Non-golf socials are held also but golf is definitely the primary focus. The organization's motto is, after all, "Fun, Fellowship, and Fairways."

Although golf by itself is an expensive sport, ASGA's dues are only $70. Members receive a membership card, ASGA bag tag, golf club identification labels (to wrap around your golf clubs in case you lose them on the course), a monthly e-newsletter, membership roster, and various national and local discounts. But the biggest benefit, all members agree, is the steady stream of new friends.

A Peachtree City/Atlanta chapter of ASGA was formed recently and members meet on a regular basis at a local restaurant and play golf monthly. To receive information about joining, call the national office at 1-888-465-3628 or locally at 404 215-4227. The national group has recently set-up a web site, and you can register for more information. The site's address is www.singlesgolf.com .

Cindy Zeldin, is the new chapter president, and she's excited about the chapter's potential. "We know golf is becoming very attractive to both men and women. Women, in particular, find the organization very friendly. It's sort of neat to see women asking men to play golf with them. In what other social realm can women ask men out? It's a unique organization . . . a lot of fun and fellowship."
