About Us
Founded in the spring of 2004 the ADJ Tour was formed by Alex Clark, Doug Stadler and John Breig. Soon after the name would be changed to the BGA Tour to include other golfers that wanted their scores and stats displayed on the Internet for all to see.

For years Clark, Stadler, Breig and Mike Radcliff would play golf on Sunday morning. This was the original foursome before the BGA was organized that started it all. After Radcliff left town because of a job relocation there was only Clark, Stadler and Breig left. Playing golf with three wasn’t the same as with four. In the spring of 2004 Clark created the ADJ Tour website to keep track of all there golfing adventures. Once the website was up and running more people wanted to play.

Eric Gagnon was the next official member of the tour. Gagnon usually goes “boating” on Sunday morning, decided to go boating less so he could participate on the tour. Because of the excitement of having his name and golfing stats on the Internet, Gagnon told everyone he know about the tour and before you knew it there was a new player every week. These new players were mostly family members or old girlfriends brothers but Gagnon was recruiting new members every week.

While playing in the “The Pirates Den” golf league on Wednesday nights, Clark and Breig informed other member of the league about the website. Before you knew it Mark Abell and Mike Burman were playing in their first event The Farm Invitational. Since this event Abell has been a regular on the tour and now plays every week. Jack Wilhelmy joined the tour a few weeks later and was playing every week until the start of football season.

To include all the new members that have joined the tour since it’s creation the name was changed in the summer of 2004 to the BGA Tour (Bad Golfer Association) to represent the below average golf that most golfers on the tour play.
