The NEGT is a Professional and Amateur Mini Tour which was established in 2006 to provide venues for aspiring golfers seeking tournament experience with competitive cash and prize rewards. The foremost objective of its committee will always be to present the competitors with an operation that consistently reflects an appreciation of The Game of Golf by conducting itself in accordance with the rules as laid down by The Game's governing bodies and ensuring that its integrity and traditions are preserved. Every effort will be made at each event to guarantee that the competition is fairly conducted so that a deserving champion is identified.
