A United Voice for Golf
The Arizona Alliance for Golf is a coalition of like-minded organizations and individuals dedicated to the game of golf, the various industries it supports and the people who love and depend on it. Through leadership, stewardship and commitment, the AAG aims to protect, promote and prepare the game for a bright and fruitful future for generations to come.
The game and the
business of golf
The latest research on the Arizona golf industry states the game of golf and its various revenue streams account for more than $4.6 billion in economic impact. Some people and organizations who don’t understand the game, however, ignore this enormous impact and aim to enact frivolous regulations on water and other factors related to the viability of golf and its future. We will protect the game and the business of golf.
PROMOTE
Unity between the allied associations
and stakeholders
The Allied associations of the AAG have a common goal to promote the game and steward its growth, and now, those associations have a single common voice – something the Arizona golf industry has never had before. The AAG is a united front dedicated to not only the promotion of the game itself, but also the thousands of jobs dependent on the golf and tourism industry in Arizona.
PREPARE
The way for future
generations
The game of golf teaches young people life lessons like honesty, integrity, perseverance and judgment – all characteristics of future leaders. We believe it’s absolutely imperative to prepare the game for future success.
