Club Team Championship

As the official home of the LPGA, LPGA International has two championship courses. The Legends course, designed by Arthur Hills, opened in October 1998 and compliments the first course, designed by Reese Jones, which opened in July 1994. Named the Champions course, the Jones links-style design has been selected for many awards such as GOLF MAGAZINE's "Top Ten You Can Play" public access courses.

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 55 and older to compete in senior division.

PRACTICE BEFORE or BETWEEN ROUNDS:  Rule 7-1b has been waived; this will allow competitors to play on the competition courses between competitive rounds.

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT:  36 holes of stroke play stableford scoring. All players play eighteen holes each the Legends and Champions 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 March 18, 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 March 18, additional teams will be added on a first come first-serve basis.
