FFGL is designed for ordinary amateur golfers who want a meaningful Amateur League to play in — without needing to be a professional or play every day. Play your rounds, post your score and see how you stack up.

Honest by design

Your word is your score. Mulligans are declared, never hidden.

Fair fights

Four divisions, so you're up against golfers at your level.

Better with mates

Groups, match play and scrambles with your own Leaderboards.

No pressure

Play at your own pace. A league for real lives.

0 or better

Playing off scratch or better? Respect. You get your own Leaderboard, kept apart from the overall standings. Pick it in the division filter to see where you stand.

From the Highveld to the Cape, if you're playing golf in South Africa, there's a spot on the Leaderboard with your name on it.

Proposed format

Subject to final rules. The format below is proposed and will be confirmed in the published Amateur League rules.
  • Individual 18-hole net Stableford
  • This month: your best round that month, everyone starts at 0 on the 1st
  • Season: your monthly bests averaged with 2 ghost months, so joining late never counts against you
  • Divisions re-set on the 1st of every month, from your FFGL Handicap
  • Joined mid-year? You start where the year is, nothing filled in
  • Units on the side: birdies, greenies and friends, points only

Honest scores. Good mates. See you on the Leaderboard.
