VGT Golf

Golf is a sport that involves walking 18 holes on a vast variety of layouts. It is a challenge that most golfers take on from junior high school and beyond. How the course affects your conditioning, usually determines the difficulty of your scoring during the round. It is with this concept, that we strive to continue challenging you while you play in our walking events. Our aim, is to challenge yours.
The Veteran’s Golf Tour (also known as, VGT Golf) welcomes all Honorably discharged veterans with a verified handicap of 20 or less to compete in our golf events. The key goal is to keep the military veteran active and in motion in a competitive golf event for the bogey or better golfer. Our events will usually feature a field of 72 participants in walking groups of 3 golfers. The majority of events will be set with tee times in 9 minute intervals. We encourage a fast pace of play, and caddies are welcomed. Have you ever wanted to play on TV? Here is your chance to be seen by your friends and family while the Event is live streamed on Facebook and YouTube Live. Broadcasting will be on the signature hole of the event, as well as the tee off on the 1st hole, and coverage on the 18th.

Participants must be cleared medically, or sign a waiver, in order to compete in our events. Regular events are usually two-day events totaling 36 holes of golf plus any additional playoff holes, when deemed necessary. State and National Championship Events are 54 holes of play, with playoff holes, when deemed necessary. Caddies are strongly encouraged but not provided by The Veteran’s Golf Tour. We believe that this will help with pace of play and we’d like you to experience a true tour environment. Volunteer Caddies will be available during Championship Events. VGT Golf will try to use local Volunteers when available. Pull carts will always be allowed, unless specified by local rules. The Member will have the option to ride a cart (unless local rules apply), with a medical exemption that must be verified and approved by the tournament committee.

Participants with a 9.9 handicap or less, will participate in Div Alpha, those with a 10.0 and higher will participate in Div Bravo. Participants who are 50 years and older, will participate in Div Charlie and those participants will be allowed carts during all events, with the option to walk as well. Please note, that only players that choose to walk in the Charlie Div will be allowed the caddie option, due to cart availability.

Do you have what it takes to win on Tour? Come prove to yourself that you can. Our aim is to challenge yours. In the process, you will stay fit and meet like minded veterans willing to compete in tournament golf.
