Note From Tour Director: Playing the FairWay is the only way… the focus of the FairWay Golf Tour is to promote the game of golf with passion, integrity and honor. We provide an organization that gives its players incentive to improve their game through fair and equitable competiton for cash prizes. FairWay Golf Tour Policy has been in place since 2001 and has been used to pay over 1.5 million dollars in prize money. The evolution of our policy has created an opportunity for golfers to take advantage of the most accurate scoring system in golf. Having spent 24 years in the golf industry in various capacities, which includes competing on the national level in college and pro along with directing over 350 tournaments, I think it is important for all competitors to understand experience is critical to the proper administration of handicapped events. My experience in these areas will ensure an even field for all FGT Events. Our main goal is to provide a memorable and enjoyable golfing experience thru competition. The FairWay Golf Tour uses its Net Scoring System (software that utilizes the USGA Handicap Formula) and multiple divisions in conjunction with its licensed USGA approved software to present its members the most progressive competition available. The FairWay Golf Tour provides three major divisions for competition at each event: The Net Division (12.0 or less index), Sr. Net Division (18.0 or less index) and Best Ball Division (18.0 or less index). FGT events are held at championship golf courses throughout Oklahoma and Texas. Tour members are eligible to play in “Majors”, which are held every 60-90 days. These events are 36 holes and will pay a minimum purse of $6,000 with 20 players. Regular tour events are held weekly in Oklahoma and Texas. Most regular tournaments are 18 holes and winners are paid at the conclusion of play. Please check the calendar on the website for sites and times in your area. We provide affordable, tax deductible competition for our members virtually every week! The FairWay Golf Tour plays in strict accordance with the USGA Rules of Golf and requires all players understand the USGA Rules of Golf and FairWay Golf Tour Policy . Join the FairWay Golf Tour and let the spirit of a healthy and fair competition take your golf game to a new level of success and enjoyment for years to come. Burt Rieck Owner, Tour Director |
