Women's Winter Series Stableford - World Golf Village - Slammer & Squire

World Golf Village - Slammer & Squire, St. Augustine, FL

November 25-26, 2024

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Women’s Winter Series were introduced in 2023 to provide more competitive multi-day opportunities for women. Since their inception, participation in the events has doubled, with our first one of the season taking place at World Golf Village, Slammer and Squire Courses. The golf course was the perfect stage, as it possesses a great challenging layout with tricky greens, and lots of places to get into trouble, in turn making safe golf, smart golf. However, despite all these challenges, it was Culver, Nilsson, Cholette-Haley, and Capozzoli to rise above and crown their respective divisions 

Championship Division

Round one brought some familiar faces to the top of the leaderboard. Tama Caldabaugh topped the leaderboard with a steady score of 34 points. However not far behind were Lin Culver and Robin Nigro. Caldabaugh carded 15 pars and one birdie, which was key to her success in round one. 

With several within reach at the beginning of round two it was anyone's day. Caldabaugh remained steady throughout the day, but after the front nine, Lin Culver started to strike! Culver carded two birdies, on the back nine, these surged her to the top of leaderboard. Culver posted an impressive 33 points, this would secure her the win in the Championship division. 

Middle Division

Maria Nilsson would capture the lead in round one, and never look back. Carding an impressive 28 points would leave Nillsson with a three stroke lead going into round two. 

Although players like Rebecca Schiff and Cindy Globush would try to catch Nilsson, neither would be successful, as Nilsson would be crowned the winner of the Middle Division. 

Forward Division

Peg Larson was the leader of the forward division after round one, but had the rest of the field nipping at her heels, which would lead to an interesting round 2.

In round two, it would be Louise Cholette-Haley and Michele Gagnon who would be fighting for first place. At the end of the day it was Cholette-Haley who would reign victorious in the forward division.  

Forward First Division

In the forward first division, it was Veronica Slain who held the two-point lead over Anna Capozzoli. 

Capozzoli would combat the deficit in round two, and continue on to win the division by three points.

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 off 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.
