Posting Scores

The FSGA will post all One-Day scores immediately following the competition. The FSGA has the right to modify any course handicap for future One-Day Events if a player does not post their scores.

Weather-Shortened Events

When weather causes a round to be shortened, the FSGA will do what is fair to determine who wins prizes. Nine holes might constitute an official event. Entry fees will generally not be refunded, but if only a few holes are played, we will work with the club to get the players a rain check or another option. The FSGA will do everything possible to complete the round that day. Please note that we are playing golf during the rainy season in Florida and conditions may dictate that players be able to play cart paths only for an event.
