Bellingham, Massachusetts — NETSA’s Scholarship Golf Tournament Heads to the New England Country Club on September 25, 2025
Get ready, golf fans and industry pros — a popular fall tradition is teeing up again. The New England Tire and Service Association is bringing its annual Scholarship Golf Tournament back to the New England Country Club in Bellingham on September 25, 2025. It’s a day built for golf, networking, friendly competition, and a clear purpose: raising money for scholarships that help students get to school.
Why this tournament matters
This isn’t just another charity scramble. The tournament feeds straight into a scholarship program that’s been around since 2013 and is on track to have awarded more than $500,000 by next year. That kind of long-term commitment matters when college bills keep climbing, and the event is one of the main ways funds are raised — along with auctions at industry tradeshows.
What to expect on the course
Expect a full day of golf at a club that tests both short game and nerves. The outing blends play with the kind of informal networking that’s gold for tire dealers and supplier reps who want to make industry connections while also playing for prizes. There will be chances to win on-course awards and additional prizes through event activities.
Who can play and who benefits
- The event is open to tire dealers and their suppliers, so industry teams are welcome.
- Registration is available through the NETSA website, and sponsorship opportunities are posted there as well.
- Registration closes on September 15, 2025, so teams should sign up early to lock in their spot.
Scholarship details — the payoff off the course
The program offers awards that can be used at two-year or four-year colleges and for post-graduate technical schools. Recently, the association awarded a $2,000 scholarship to each of 21 recipients at an event hosted at Shining Rock Golf Club in Northbridge, Massachusetts. Scholarship eligibility requires being a NETSA member for at least two years, or being a member’s spouse or dependent.
Here’s how the awards are typically funded: sponsors contribute $1,000 toward a scholarship and NETSA matches that amount, effectively making each sponsored scholarship a $2,000 award. Past supporters have included industry groups and major suppliers, reflecting broad backing from within the sector.
Behind the scenes — membership and member services
NETSA serves a broad membership base — over 500 members across the region — and keeps them informed with a monthly newsletter called The Roadrunner. The group has recently revamped its website to make life easier for members, allowing quicker access to event registration, dues payment, and program details. Website management is handled in collaboration with an industry-focused partner to make sure things run smoothly.
What this means for you
If you’re a player, this is a chance to enjoy a competitive day of golf and to support a program that sends money to students who need it. If you’re a sponsor, the outing offers visibility and a direct way to invest in the next generation of technicians, managers, and industry leaders. If you’re a family member of a NETSA member, keep an eye on eligibility requirements to see if you qualify for scholarship support.
