PRIZES
Prize amounts and number of place winners are determined based on the number of entrants, of course. The champion also receives a trophy.
The Bruce Friesenhahn FELLOWSHIP CUP is awarded to the TGF Player of the Year. It is a traveling trophy named for the late TGF Member and Champion, Bruce Friesenhahn, who exemplified what The Golf Fellowship is about...friendship, camaraderie and fun!
--------------------------------------
HOW TO ENTER
Included with either POINTS RACE Entry
--------------------------------------
HOW TO WIN
Think FedEx Cup in the PGA...
Players receive points for event finishes (our Points Races). After the Regular Season, a POINTS RESET occurs based off your finish, and the size of the field vs the size of other League fields.
The new total is your FELLOWSHIP CUP POINTS total. This compresses the field and gives more people a chance to win the Cup!
BONUS CUP POINTS are also gained during the regular season by your SCORE placement in the entire field of Points Race Entrants, regardless of league.
Example | Two Man Challenge event has 11 Austin Points Race Entrants & San Antonio has 28...it would be a combined 39 participants

The TGF Championship, a 36 hole event for all leagues, determines The Fellowship Cup Champion
--------------------------------------
PRIZES
Prize amounts and number of place winners are determined by adding the 1/3 portions of each league's Points Race & Match Play pots.
MATCH PLAY is a 32-Man, Double Elimination Bracket that is an optional Season Competition. It is another way to compete for THE FELLOWSHIP CUP.
--------------------------------------
ENTRY FEE | $50
+ Schedule Commitment
Players are required to play all 6, local 18 Hole Events until eliminated from field
--------------------------------------
BRACKETS
(See 2019 MATCH PLAY Brackets)
Seeds will be organized by handicap into 8 player groups from lowest to highest.
All players start in the Championship Bracket. Players move to the Playback Bracket when they are defeated, but still have a chance for the title if they win out.
--------------------------------------
MATCHES
Matches are played in conjunction with normal play at events, but play does not end when a match is determined.
1st 2 Rounds of Championship Bracket are 9 Holes. After that, 18 hole matches. All Playback Bracket Matches are 9 holes.
--------------------------------------
IN THE CASE OF...
If a match is not determined at the end of regulation, players can choose how to determine winner...sudden death extra holes or putt or chip off.
Players can hold matches outside of TGF events if they are unable to attend an event at same time.

Kerry NIESTER & Larry ANTHIS decided to schedule a regular time to golf with friends in San Antonio. Due to weekend family priorities, they started playing weeknight 9s.
In May 2007, 24 friends joined them in the first outing at Brackenridge. Within 2 months over 125 interested people were on an email list through word of mouth. The Golf Fellowship was born!
Kerry's primary influences for how TGF operates are from:
1. Growing up with his grandparents on their Iowa farm,
2. Playing with every different personality while visiting the 9 Hole Country Club where his dad was the Head Pro, and
3. The competitive events that he played in growing up, on the Iowa State University Men's Team and as an Iowa Amateur.
"I want you to be able to GOLF your own ball on great courses, build great friendships through NETWORKING, and experience the thrill of COMPETITION regardless of ability!" - Kerry
