Where? To date, we have two branches throughout the province and are dedicated to continued growth. One branch located in the heart of Toronto and the other in Central Ontario, we hope to serve you more efficiently. Why? Our focus is in working towards the formation of an Ontario Gay & Lesbian Professional Golf Association (OGLPGA). This member body will compete on all levels, to include national and international events. As well, we hope to send our best golfers to future world class events such as the Gay Games. What? OUTabound Golf is a non-profit league. This means that most of our funds a returned to our members in the form of prizes and awards etc. We encourage golfers of all skill levels - beginner to expert - to participate. OUTabound Golf is both “friendly” and “relaxed“. While we are both a “recreational” and “competitive” league, we strongly encourage scorekeeping so that players can easily identify the weaker aspects of their game and improve their overall scores. Aside from course games, events, and tournaments, OUTabound Golf also has a less serious and social side. Throughout the year we host a series of “fun events”, like our Annual Awards Banquet, Wine & Cheese Party, and BBQ - just to name a few. When? Our golf league season commences in early April each year with a Spring Membership Campaign. Our season concludes with our Awards Banquet in late September. That is six months in total.
