What Is The Wilson Smith Golf League?
One league. Multiple chapters. A shared legacy.
The Wilson-Smith Golf League (WSGL) is a thriving community of people recovering from Alcohol and/or Substance Use Disorder who bond over their shared love for the game of golf. Starting with 11 sober golfers and a family member in the suburbs of Philadelphia in 2001, the Wilson-Smith Golf League of the Delaware Valley has over 130 active members and counting. Blending the principles of recovery and the rules of golf, the WSGL has created a unique fellowship that greatly enhances the quality of their members’ lives. Reach out today to learn more about our sober golf league as we expand our footprint throughout the country.

How It Works
The Wilson Smith Golf League is built for players who love the game and thrive on competition, camaraderie, and consistency. Here’s how it all comes together:
Seasonal Format: Each chapter runs its own schedule with a structured season made up of regular match play rounds, playoffs, and a championship event.
Handicap Integration: We use handicaps to level the playing field, making it competitive for golfers of all skill levels.
End-of-Season Social: The Chapter will bring everyone together for fellowship and recognition..
Whether you’re playing to win or just for the fun of it, our format makes every round matter—and every player feel like part of the team.
