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 one Al-Anon 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.

About the North Texas Chapter
The North Texas Chapter is a vibrant and growing part of the Wilson-Smith Golf League, bringing together golfers in recovery from across the Dallas–Fort Worth region and beyond. Known for its welcoming spirit and deep sense of camaraderie, the chapter provides a safe, structured space for sober individuals to reconnect with the game they love. With access to some of North Texas’s premier courses and a commitment to fellowship on and off the fairway, the chapter empowers members to grow in their recovery while enjoying healthy competition and meaningful connection. Whether you’re newly sober or have years behind you, the North Texas Chapter is a place to belong, compete, and thrive.
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.
Match Play System: Weekly pairings follow a match play format, encouraging head-to-head battles that keep things fresh and competitive.
Points & Standings: Players earn points each week based on performance, attendance, and sportsmanship. Leaderboards are updated regularly so everyone knows where they stand.
Handicap Integration: We use handicaps to level the playing field, making it competitive for golfers of all skill levels.
End-of-Season Awards: Top performers are recognized with chapter trophies, league-wide recognition, and (of course) bragging rights.
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.
