Divisions and Approximate Yardages
Players must select which Division they wish to compete in upon entry. There is NO yardage mix allowed between divisions.
- Championship Division: Men - 6,500 yards/Women - 5,700 yards (Gross & Net)
- Forward Division: Men - 6,200 yards/Women - 5,200 yards (Gross & Net)
Handicaps
- All valid Florida GHIN Handicap Indexes used will be from the June 1, 2017 revision.
- Each player must have a valid Florida GHIN Handicap Index no higher than 34.0.
The tournament will use the USGA's recommendation of:
- Men receive 90% of their course handicap
- Women receive 95% of their course handicap
- If there is a difference of more than eight strokes between the two members of a team, an additional 10% reduction will be applied to the course handicap of each member of the side.
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
Championship Division - The overall Champion will be the team with the lowest total score. In the event of a tie for first place, there will be a hole-by-hole sudden death playoff on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the Champion. All other tie breaks will be broken by the USGA scorecard match. The last 9 holes will be considered holes 10-18, the last 6 holes will be holes 13-18, the last 3 holes will be holes 16-18 and the last hole will be hole 18. In the case that players are still tied after the 18th hole, the winner will be determined by lot.
Forward Division – All ties in each flight of the Forward Division will be broken by the USGA scorecard match. The last 9 holes will be considered holes 10-18, the last 6 holes will be holes 13-18, the last 3 holes will be holes 16-18 and the last hole will be hole 18. In the case that players are still tied after the 18th hole, the winner will be determined by lot.
Forward Division will pay gross first, then net.
Practice Rounds
Practice rounds are available one week prior to the championship and after 12:00 PM the weekend prior on a space available basis. The price for a practice round is $35.00 + tax. Please call (386) 274-5742 to arrange your practice round. The proper place to practice your golf swing is on the driving range, hitting multiple shots on the course is unacceptable.
Defending Champions
The second round provided just as much excitement as the first round did in the Championship Division. Christopher Carlin and Nicole Ferre would not take it easy on defending Champions, Alexa and Kevin Hammer. Carlin/Ferre's closing round of 7 under-par, 64, narrowly missed getting them into a playoff with the defending champs. Things started to get very interesting heading into the par 5, 17th hole, until Alexa made an eagle to jolt her and her father back into the lead. Alexa made a solid par on the final hole to give the team their second Summer Mixed Championship in a row!
