Frequently Asked Questions About Our Golf Community

---

All skill levels are welcome, but you'll have difficulty competing if you are not a Double Bogey golfer or better. We encourage you to seek out a local PGA Teaching Professional to help you get to that point, and then you'll be able to enjoy yourself that much more when you join us!

The short answer is "No." The Golf Fellowship does not advertise or promote itself as a Christian group, nor do we have any organized Christian activities. However, many Christian  values drive how we lead our Golf Community.

If you don't enjoy yourself, or feel unwelcome in TGF, then we have failed you and fallen short of our goals for the group. We invite you to participate in helping us become better & we will do whatever we can to help you have a positive experience in The Golf Fellowship!

Guests and/or Non-Members are welcome to play in ALL TGF Events except for PostSeason Events as follows: TGF Championship, Hill Country Cup, Trinity River Cup & Lone Star Cup.

Limited Side Game Participation

Guests typically pay $10-25 more for events and are limited to proximity games participation which is included in the Guest Fee.

Exception: TWO MAN CHALLENGES

Our Two Man Challenge Events are designed for TGF Members & Non-Members to enjoy. Guests may enter into Team GROSS &/or Team NET, but are required to submit an active USGA-Approved Handicap for eligibility for the latter.

As a standard, TGF Members have the option of selecting ONE Preferred Playing Partner. From there, TGF reserves the right to fill the rest of the foursome, as it sees fit, in order to promote fairness, diversity of groups and networking.

Exceptions to Preferred Playing Partner Requests:

• Sometimes a players involvement in Match Play will not allow TGF to honor PPP Requests. Most of the time, TGF is still able to honor the request
• If a player has already been requested before another PPP Request, that request is honored instead
• New for 2022 - Designated events will be full mix events, and PPP's will not be honored.

TGF understands that sometimes you might like to have that foursome of buddies. A couple of times a year, TGF will honor those requests.

New for 2022, TGF TEAMS is an opportunity for all TGF Members to participate in a Season Competition versus their fellow city members. The goal is to create an additional level of camaraderie and increase the TGF Experience.

Here are some details:

• 8 Member Teams, randomly selected by TGF
• Best 4 SCORES of all Team Members present form Team SCORE for the event...regardless if player entered Side Games
• ALL and ONLY Local Events will count towards each City's Team Race
• Team with Most Points Wins TEAM Trophy, culminating at each City Championship
• No more than 2 Team Members will be paired together in an event
