Club Team Championship

Entries Close Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Grand Harbor's River Course is golf at its most natural and breathtaking setting.  The course is woven into the remarkably native landscape surrounding the Indian River.  The Harbor Course incorporates multi-tiered greens, undulating fairways and deep pot bunkers to conjure up images of historic Scottish links.

ELIGIBILITY

Open to traditional golf clubs (that own their own course) which are members of the FSGA. The four team members must each be members of the club (traditional dues-paying golf membership). Any questions regarding eligibility should be directed to the FSGA Executive Director.

DIVISIONS

Regular and Senior Division. All team members must be age 55 or older as of November 12, 2011 to compete in the Senior Division.

ENTRY FEE

$150 per person: GHIN Club ($600 per team) / $175 per person: Non GHIN Club ($700 per team).

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT

36 holes of stroke play stableford scoring. All players play eighteen holes each on the River and Harbor Courses.  Each team total is derived from the total of the high 3 of the 4 stableford scores each round.  Each club can send as many teams as it prefers.  Prior to October 12, only two teams per club (any combination) will be entered into the field (in order of receipt).  If the field is not full as of October 12, additional teams will be added on a first come first-serve basis.

CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD SIZE
