Entries Close Wednesday, April 25, 2012
Lake Jovita's two championship courses were built through an area of rolling hills and large oak trees just north of Tampa. Lake Jovita's golf amenities include a highly rated Golf Shop (Top 100 in America by Golf Business World) and a world-class fifteen-acre practice facility with bunkers and chipping area, and a one-acre putting green.. The FSGA has used Lake Jovita for Championships, FJT Tournaments and USGA qualifiers for many years.
Eligibility
Male amateurs must both be members of the FSGA.
Entry Fee
$380 ($400 - members who do not have an active FSGA/GHIN Handicap).
Championship Format
The Two-Man Shoot-Out is one of the FSGA's most enjoyable and interesting championships.
All stroke play,
- Saturday Morning - Modified Alternate Shot (18 holes) where each player drives, then the team selects a ball to be played into the hole on an alternate shot basis.
- Saturday Lunch - Included (with draft beverages)
- Saturday Afternoon Round - Two-Man Scramble (18 holes).
- Day 2, Third Round - Four Ball (Best Ball of Two - 18 holes)
- Play-Off - If necessary, there will be a three-hole aggregate score play-off for the championship. The play-off format will be the same as the Championship format (Modified Alternate Shot/Scramble/Four-Ball). If the play-off results in a tie, play will immediately continue, hole by hole. It is the player's responsibility to be present for any playoff.
Rounds & Prizes
Each round of the Shoot-Out is treated as a separate competition and gift certificates are awarded for each round. There is an over-all prize and Championship Team, but the emphasis and the majority of gift certificates are paid out on the basis of the individual rounds.
