ETGL ClubhouseEastside Traveling Golf League
Clubhouse/Hall of Fame

The ETGL Hall — three decades of champions.

For more than thirty years, the Eastside Traveling Golf League has been built by the players who kept showing up, kept competing, kept telling stories, and kept the tradition alive. The ETGL Hall honors the people, champions, and moments that shaped the league.

The Founders — the two men who started it.

A monthly traveling league, started in 1997, that ended up running for thirty years. Two friends, one decision, and a calendar.

"Good people, bad golf" — the league motto, attributed to whichever of them said it first. Both claim authorship. Neither will produce written evidence.

The People Who Built It

Thirty years. Hundreds of rounds. Every name on the wall earned it.

The ETGL Hall · An Unofficial Tribute

The records here are kept because they are worth keeping. A monthly traveling golf league that has lasted three decades is rare. One that has lasted three decades and still has its founders teeing it up is rarer still. The Hall exists to make sure the names, the trophies, and the moments don't get lost.
