THE FELLOWSHIP CUP
POINTS RACE Gross & Net
POINTS RACE Gross & Net
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.

PICS OVER THE YEARS
A BRIEF HISTORY
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
