Championship Practice Rounds

• A Practice Round Block for the weekend prior to the Championship will be set up by the FSGA. The Practice Round Block will be sent out on TBD.
• All other practice rounds will be on a space-available basis. Spectator Carts will be limited and on a first come, first serve basis for the Practice Round.
• The price for a practice round is TBD + tax and includes cart and range balls prior to the round. Please call TBD to arrange your practice round outside of the FSGA block. 

The proper place to practice your golf swing is on the driving range; hitting multiple shots on the course, not filling divots, and not repairing ball marks are unacceptable and may cause removal from the tournament without a refund.

Trackman Combine

• • We are pleased to offer tournament participants the opportunity to utilize our TrackMan launch moniter, and to have his swing recorded on Sunday, July 20th. Specifics will be included in the  pre-event email. There is no charge for this service. All information will be posted to the junior's FSGA profile for college coaches to view.
