About our Summer Golf League:
League Captains:
Each of our locations requires a course captain who will help manage the league at their course throughout the season. Scoring for the summer league is done easily by the players themselves through the Forces on the Fairways League Software (www.forcesonthefairways.golfleague.net) so league captains do not have to worry about scoring, but you do need to be the link in communication with your league members and the course. If you would like to volunteer to be the league captain at your course, please add a comment in your registration to let us know.
- Veterans meet once a week at area courses for 16 weeks throughout the golf season to bond and share good times with other Veterans.
- An end of season banquet will be held to present the Forces on the Fairways Cup to the winning team.

BATTLE FOR THE BI-STATE CUP GOLF TOURNAMENT
Veterans From Each Side Of The Mississippi River Competing Together!
Each year, a “Battle for the Bi-State Cup” will take place between two Veterans focused organizations. The friendly combatants are the Forces on the Fairways Veterans Golf League (a project of The Palozola Foundation based in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area) and Arlington Greens Veterans Golf Association (AGVGA) based across the Mississippi River in Granite City, Illinois.
Both organizations have chosen “golf” as a vehicle to help area Veterans. Both sponsor separate golf leagues with 100+ players each throughout the summer. This is an opportunity for Veterans to play golf, tell war stories and gather in a safe, fun environment with camaraderie and understanding. These leagues are provided at no cost for players. The regular play in the leagues is augmented with teaching clinics which focuses on helping handicapped golfers learn to play and improve their games.
This “Battle” mimics a Ryder Cup style event with 6, 2-man teams playing 3-hole matches of “Best Ball”, “Alternate Shot” and “One-on-One Match Play”. Points for each team are accumulated based on the matches played over a total of 9 holes.
At the end of the day, one of the two organizations will walk away as the winner of what has become a “Prestigious” Bi-State Cup! The cup is a perpetual memorial of the annual battle with the name of the winner engraved thereon.
The real winners though are Veterans on both sides of the river!
“TO HEAL VETERANS IN BODY, MIND & SPIRIT, THROUGH GOLF.”
