• The player with the higher Course Handicap is allowed 15% of their Course Handicap

Saturday (Modified Alternate Shot/Chapman)

• Chapman Format:

  • The team then decides which ball they wish to play, and then plays that ball on an alternate basis into the hole

Sunday (Four-Ball Stroke Play)

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

Breaking Ties

The overall Champion will be the team with the lowest total score from the Championship Division. In the event of a tie for first place, there will be a hole-by-hole sudden death play-off on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the Champion. All other ties in each flight will be broken by the modified USGA score card match. The final day 18 hole respective score will be used to determine the first place individual. (If there is still a tie, the final 9 holes of the last day (holes 10-18) will be used to determine the winner.  If there is still a tie, the final 6 holes are used; then if needed the final 3 holes; then the final hole; then by coin flip).

Each flight will pay gross first, then net.

Practice Rounds

Practice rounds are available one week prior to the tournament, after 12:00 noon on a space available basis.  The price for a practice round is $50.00 + tax. Please call (352) 746-3446 to arrange your practice round. 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.
