About The Grasshoppers
The Cen-Tex Grasshoppers are a group of senior golfers that was chartered in 1979. Our purpose is to enjoy the game of golf while creating new friends. Fun and fellowship are major aspects of our group.
We organize and conduct six two-day tournaments each year in the general geographic areas between the piney woods of East Texas and the hill country of Central Texas. The evening before each tournament we meet for a “Tailgate Party” where we are informed which members will participate on what teams and the format of the golf tournament.
The USGA rules are generally followed with a few modifications. Members come to us with a range of handicaps, including some very low to very high. All are welcome whatever your handicap, remembering that fun and fellowship are the keys to our success.
Generally, our membership consists of senior citizens fifty-five and older with a few of our members being slightly younger and some in their nineties. However, we are all young at heart and ready to play golf while enjoying one another’s company.
If you're interested in joining our group, please contact Beverly Grace (e-mail: bevgrace@comcast.net ) to have your name put on the waiting list or if you would like more information about our group.
We are looking forward to another year of fun, fellowship, and competitive golf.

Greetings Grasshoppers!
The CEN-TEX Grasshoppers enjoyed another successful year in 2025! We started out at a new venue, Stonetree Golf Club in Killeen and finished at an old favorite, Lady Bird Golf Course, in Fredericksburg. Two other new sites for the Grasshoppers were Hidden Falls Golf Course in Meadowlakes (Marble Falls) and Margaritaville in Conroe. We’re looking forward to visiting these golf courses in future years. As always, the Grasshopper tournaments allow low and high handicappers to compete together and win. More importantly, they give us an opportunity for fellowship amongst golfers who live hundreds of miles apart, or two blocks away. Our Tournament Director, Deb McNeill, and her scoring, handicap, and hospitality teams are to be applauded for all of their amazing efforts this year and I look forward to doing this all again in 2026
