The Golf Association of Michigan, founded in 1919, serves as the governing body for amateur golf in Michigan. As a not-for-profit organization, it represents, promotes, preserves, and serves the interests of the game within the state, overseeing governance and competition for players and venues. The association supports a membership base of more than 60,000 golfers and collaborates with over 400 golf courses, conducting a slate of 19 amateur championships and supervising 14 USGA qualifying events. In addition to its competitive portfolio, GAM hosts one-day events called GAM Golf Days, which provide a less-competitive option for members to participate in the sport. Headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, GAM operates within the spectator sports industry and employs a team of professionals focused on administration, championship management, and event coordination. The organization functions as a regional steward of amateur golf, balancing competitive play with outreach to the broader golfing community. The most recent developments noted involve leadership changes, reflecting ongoing governance and strategic leadership within the association.
