The Eastside Traveling Golf League is a golf league of varying golfing abilities. All scores are NET scores using official USGA handicaps. The Washington State Golf Association officially recognizes our league.
Each tournament is scored individually (net) to add to a player’s Sony Ranking total. The winner of the Sony Rankings is awarded the GREEN JACKET and is allowed to display the perpetual plague on their mantel for the year. In addition to individual play either a two-man or four-man team event takes place each tournament. We use a variety of formats for team play. Teams are randomly drawn from two groups divided by handicaps (one half of the team from the low division and the other half of the team from the higher division). The division varies depending on who signs up for each tourney.
Our match play tourney is open to the first 32 players who sign up at the beginning of the year. This is a single elimination tournament that takes place outside of regular scheduled event. The tournament begins in April and concludes in September or October.
The following are the goals of the ETGL:
- Meet people through friendly competition.
