BGA - New Way to Pay

 

  • Are you tired of writing that monthly check to the BGA?
  • Are you tired if trying to find the envelope and “First Class Forever” stamp?
  • No more forgetting to send in your entry and calling the Friday before the tournament wanting to play.

 

The BGA has a new way to pay your entry, skins and even your annual dues.

 

Each month you receive an email / monthly newsletter and if you want to participate and pay using your credit card, the BGA now has an easy method for you to pay.

 

All you need to do is to respond to the monthly newsletter and we will send you an emailed Invoice.

You can also go to the website, branch-golf.com , click on the “Contact Us” tab and let us know that you want to participate.

The BGA will email you an Invoice that will allow you to pay with your credit card. You can even save your credit card information, which will make it easier to pay in the future.

 

This is example of what you will receive.

The invoice will be directed to each individual and will be itemized.

 

Simply click on the Pay Invoice button and follow the instructions.

 

 

 

If you have any questions please let us know.
