History of AGO
The goal of AGO was, and is, to provide a venue for avid amateur golfers to compete with one another on some of the finest golf courses in the Greater Orlando area. Through the years AGO has been privileged to have been led by golfers like George Stevenson, Hank Hardy, Tom Pill, “Doc” Moore, John Coen, Rick Harris and Joe Wingerter to name just a few. Their leadership has enabled AGO to exist, and expand its membership and reputation.
AGO plays tournament golf once a month, usually on the third Sunday. Exceptions are when the third Sunday conflicts with holidays or other major events, such as the Bay Hill Classic, etc. When that is the case, we will usually play on either the second or fourth Sunday, whichever is most suitable. AGO’s golf year culminates in May of each year when we have our Annual Championship, a two-day tournament (Saturday and Sunday) on two of the premier golf courses in the Orlando area. Our June tournament is followed by a luncheon on-site and an awards ceremony where the top golfers in the Championship and the golf year are recognized.
All of our golf tournaments are handicapped. All of our golfers are flighted based on their handicaps. Golfers will compete with others that have similar handicaps. Each flight has five winners (Low Gross, and top 4 Low Net). Winners receive cash prizes.
During each tournament there are several optional games that can be entered. Check on the link “games” for a description of each of these games.
