About TPS
The story behind Boulder's favorite women's golf league.
"What does TPS stand for?"
The Putt Sluts. Yes, really. We wear the name with pride. It started as an inside joke and became a rallying cry for ~30 women who love golf, love Colorado, and don't take themselves too seriously.
Who We Are
The Putt Sluts (TPS) is a women's traveling golf league based in Boulder, Colorado. Founded and run by Ro Troia, the league brings together approximately 30 women golfers who share a love for the game, friendly competition, and Thursday afternoons on the course.
We're not a country club. We don't have a home course. Every week we play somewhere new -- rotating across 39 golf courses along Colorado's Front Range, from Boulder to Longmont, Lafayette to Loveland, and everywhere in between.
How It Works
Every Thursday
May through October. Rain or shine, we tee it up. Around 24 women play each week.
39 Courses
We rotate across courses along the Front Range. No two weeks at the same place back-to-back.
Weekly Payouts
Low Net by flight, Game of the Day, and chip-in pots. $1/player/week per pot keeps it fun and competitive.
Flight Groups
Players grouped by GHIN handicap index into flights for fair competition across all skill levels.
The Vibe
TPS is competitive, but it's not stuffy. We track handicaps, run real games, and pay out real money -- but the best part of every Thursday is the people. The post-round drink. The group text when someone drains a 30-footer. The carpool banter.
Skill levels range from single-digit handicappers to beginners still finding their swing. What matters isn't your score -- it's that you show up, play fast, and have a good time.
The Season
Our 2026 season kicks off May 7th at Flatirons Golf Course and runs every Thursday through October. That's roughly 24 rounds of golf across the most beautiful courses on Colorado's Front Range.
Each week features:
- Low Net competition by flight -- the bread and butter of TPS scoring
- Game of the Day -- Stableford, Skins, Best Ball, Match Play, and 30+ other formats
- Chip-in pot -- chip it in from off the green and you're splitting the pot
- Live scoring -- one scorer per foursome, results posted in real time
Founded & Run by Ro
Ro Troia founded TPS and runs every aspect of the league -- from scheduling 39 courses to calculating handicaps, payouts, and game results. She built the original tracking system in Google Sheets (a masterpiece of spreadsheet engineering, if we're being honest), and this platform is the next evolution of that work.
