WELCOME
If you have been referred to the TPGL by one of our members or have been on our website, or seen our newsletters or marketing flier, you most likely have some idea about the TPGL already. We hope you like what you see and have a good overview of what the TPGL has to offer.
WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT
Our primary objective is to offer you a golf experience that makes it easy to play competitive golf with a variety of players on the weekends/holidays at quality courses. And yes, we like to compete with golfers who take the game seriously and are of good character and fun to be around.
We have low handicap, mid-handicap, and high-handicap players in the TPGL. ALL are trying to play their best and are dedicated to the rules of golf and improving their play. We putt everything out, there are no Mulligans, and our League Handicaps are derived from League play. We're competing for something, both on a given day and over the course of the season. All in all, we offer a golfing atmosphere that makes it extremely fun for a competitive amateur golfer to play the game no matter what his handicap is.

ESTABLISHING YOUR TPGL HANDICAP
The TPGL uses the USGA Handicap system for computing your TPGL handicap. Once established, your TPGL handicap will include only rounds played with the TPGL on a forward basis.
On the enclosed form: ESTABLISHING YOUR TPGL HANDICAP, we will need your CDGA member number. If you are not a member of the CDGA, we will need your most recent 20 scores including the course name, rating and slope. If you have fewer than 20 scores, provide as many as you can recall including the course name, rating and slope. We will use the USGA provision - section 10-2 - for computing your handicap if you have less than 20 scores.
When you have completed steps 1-5, you can send your dues check, the form indicating your estimated number of rounds and course tee box preference, and your golf handicap information to Bob Passarella. In your registration packet is a stamped envelope with Bob's address on it. Bob is at: 126 E. Littleton Trail - Hainesville, IL 60030.
