Golf Fellowship

USA - CANADA
Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians

The USGFR was organized in February 1990 by Bryce Roper, PDG, 5400. The first USGFR event was held in Portland Maine in 1990 and events have been held annually since. In 2018 the Executive Committee voted to change the organization's name to United States - Canada Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians (USCGFR) to better reflect the the composition of our membership.

Rotary Golf in 61 Countries

The International Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians is one of the 75 social groups that share a common passion. Being part of our Golfing Fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world. Enjoying life amongst Rotarians while playing golf on the most exclusive golf courses on the globe! There is nothing better! IGFR was founded at the birthplace of golf, at St Andrews Scotland, in 1964. She has spread her wings over Australia, Europe and North America and is now exploring the continent of Africa, Asia and South America.
