The Metropolitan Golf Association
Digital Advertising Solutions

The Metropolitan Golf Association now offers two different digital advertising solutions for advertisers seeking ways to reach its 140,000 upscale avid-core golfers electronically. The association's website, mgagolf.org, and its bi-weekly "e-Revision Newsletters" allow advertisers the two best ways to reach New York Metro-based golfers through interactive formats.

MGAGOLF.ORG:

• Traffic: mgagolf.org enjoys an average of nearly 300,000 page views per month. Live scoring for various MGA championships has drawn thousands of visitors, as exemplified by the more than 100,000 people who visited the site during the final two rounds of the Met Open in 2009.
• Content: mgagolf.org is the largest and most comprehensive website among state and regional golf associations. Created in 1997, it has become, along with The Met Golfer magazine, a key resource for Met Area golfers to maintain contact with the MGA. The website has evolved into the online center of golf in the Met Area and features online tournament and handicap information, results from MGA, and all local championships, as well as stories of interest, a complete overview of MGA services and special offers from the MGA's corporate partners for MGA members.
• Advertising: mgagolf.org can accept up to eight (8) banner ads. Banner ads will rotate on the home page and link back to the advertiser's website.
• Frequency: Each banner ad will appear on mgagolf.org for two weeks.
