Handicap Requirements

• All valid Florida GHIN Handicap Indexes used will be from 7 days prior to the championship start date
• Each player must have a valid Florida GHIN Handicap Index not exceeding 34.0
• Players will play to 95% of their course handicap

It is the responsibility of any player that maintains a Handicap Index lower than her current Florida GHIN Handicap to inform the FSGA for resolution. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

Suggested Handicap Guidelines

The following should be considered when selecting divisions 

• Championship Division - 10.0 & Under
• Middle Division - 11.0-18.0
• Forward Division - 19.0 & Over

Committee Discretion: The Championship Committee reserves the right to move any player out of the Forward Division if their handicap is significantly lower than the majority of the competitors in that division, and their scoring history does not reflect the need to play from the Forward Division yardage.

Flighting

Players will be pre-flighted based on individual handicaps. The overall Champions will be the player with the lowest 36-hole total gross score (regardless of flighting).

Generally, divisions of more than 14 teams will be flighted, however the Committee reserves the right to flight based on the number of teams and/or the range of individual handicaps or scores.

Breaking Ties

If there is a tie in any division for the gross overall Champion, there will be a hole-by-hole sudden death playoff on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the Champions. All other ties will be broken by the FSGA tie breaking method (modified USGA). The tie breaker will be as follows: 

• Final 18 holes
• Final nine holes, then final six, then final three holes and finally the 18th hole score
• If there is still a tie, a coin flip will determine the tie break 

All Divisions will pay gross first, then net.
