2 Women s International Four-Ball The Wanderers Club, one of the finest clubs in Palm Beach County, hosted the historic 71st Women s International Four-Ball for the sixth consecutive year! The ladies played on pristine course conditions resulting in red numbers at the top of the leaderboard. In the Championship Division, defending Champion Katie Miller and partner Lauren Greenlief posted the tournament low score in round two to capture the win by five strokes. After round one, Tara Joy-Connelly and partner Ina Kim took the early lead by one stroke with a three under-par 69. Joy-Connelly, of North Palm Beach, was fighting for a win after finishing in second place last year. One stroke behind heading into the final round was the team of Lisa Schlesinger and Andrea Kraus. Three teams tied for third place in red numbers with a round one 71 including Katie Miller/ Lauren Greenlief, Sarah Matin/Kim Keyer-Scott, and Alexandra Frazier/Marie Arnoux. Miller, of Jeannette, PA, and Greenlief, of Ashburn, VA, started round two with a vengeance. Three birdies on the front nine confidently carried the duo into the final nine holes. Miller birdied holes 11, 13, and 14 while Greenlief birdied 12 and 17 to finish eight under-par 64. A strong finish sealed the victory at nine under-par 135, five strokes over the second place team of Tara Joy-Connelly and Ina Kim. Joy-Connelly and Kim, of Jupiter, posted a second round 71 with three birdies and two bogies to finish with a four under-par total of 140. Sarah Matin, 2015 International Four- Ball Champion, rounded out the top three with partner Kim Keyer-Scott at 141 (-3). See fsga.org for full results.

3 Senior/Mid-Am Four-Ball Championship The Senior / Mid-Amateur Four-Ball begins the Men s Championship season every year in exciting fashion. In its 15th year of existence, the tournament boasts a strong field annually that sets the tone for the remainder of the championship season. This year the tournament was hosted by the well known Stone Creek Golf Club, in beautiful Ocala, and featured many past amateur champions in the field. The Senior / Mid Amateur Four-Ball Championship is a tournament where two men, one aged and the other aged 55 and over, compete in a best ball format over two days. This years tournament saw a strong field of 80 men compete for the title across a golf course that normally churns out some pretty low scores. Stone Creek recently held a Florida Junior Tour event where the winner, Roberto Nieves, finished at nine under par for two days. Last years champions, Daniel Eggertsson, of Royal Palm Beach, and Craig Howell, of Lake Worth, were in the field this year to attempt to defend their title from last year. After a first round 71, Eggertsson and Howell had some catching up to do on day two. Past Champion Doug Snoap, of Apopka, and his partner Bob Campione, of Palm Coast, were the story of the day on Saturday, firing an impressive nine under par 63, that would give them a three shot lead heading into Sunday. Three teams were sitting three strokes behind Snoap and Campione - one of which included Florida Cup captain Rick Woulfe. Woulfe, of Fort Lauderdale and his partner Kasey Denesevich, of Lauderhill, were hoping for a low round Sunday that would propel them ahead of Snoap and Campione. Sunday saw perfect playing conditions, and the field took advantage of the opportunities they had. Snoap and Campione had a comfortable lead, but others were nipping at their heels all day. The team of Woulfe and Denesevich took dead aim at the title on Sunday, shooting a 65 to tie Campione and Snoap who shot 68. After the conclusion of the second round, the two teams made their way to the 10th hole for a playoff to decide the winner. After tying the first two holes, the team of Snoap and Campione made birdie at the third playoff hole to win the Championship. This marks Snoap s second Four-Ball title in the past three years, and is the first for Bob Campione. See fsga.org for full results.

4 Men s Interclub Championship The 2018 Men s Interclub Team Championship was held March at the esteemed Mission Inn Resort, in Howey-in-the-Hills. Nine teams made it through sectional and regional qualifying to be named Regional Champions, and earn a spot in the field of the Interclub Team Championship. At the end of the event, host club Mission Inn was left standing as the wire-to-wire Champion. The State Championship was played over two days of impeccable golf weather. Mission Inn Resort played an excellent host to the nine teams that made their way to the club nestled in the central Florida hills. During Tuesdays first round, Mission Inn got off to a roaring start and never looked back. After round one was completed, the team consisting of Houston Hill, Larry Glock, Terry Dinsmore, Randy Chaney, Dan Dowdall, Herm Arnold, Joe Lewandowski and Doug Herron, sat comfortably with an 15 point lead over Pelican s Nest Golf Club. Day two played much more difficult than the first day, with no teams reaching 190 points (On day one, four teams finished with more than 190 points). Thanks to their large lead, Mission Inn was able to hang on to their lead and ultimately win the Championship after a less than stellar second day. Mission Inn accumulated 216 stableford points the first day, then only 175 stableford points on the second day. Their 391 point total was good enough to win by eight points over Tiger Point Golf & Country Club. River Strand Golf & Country Club, who finished with 381 points - ten points behind Mission Inn, finished third. The low round of the tournament went to Mission Inn team member Houston Hill, who shot a first round 68 to help give Mission Inn their large lead. The 2018 Men s Interclub season began with 124 teams competing from all across the State. Nine Regional Championship teams listed below earned their spot at the State Championship held at the Mission Inn Resort. Tampa Bay Region: Westchase Golf Club, Tampa Suncoast Region: River Strand Golf & Country Club, Bradenton West Region: Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club, Tampa Naples 2 Region: Pelican s Nest Golf Club, Bonita Springs Central Region: Mission Inn Resort & Club, Howey-in-the-Hills Naples Region: The Club at Olde Cypress, Naples Northeast Region: The Palencia Club, St. Augustine Panhandle Region: Tiger Point Golf & Country Club, Gulf Breeze Treasure Coast Region: Lacita Golf & Country Club, Titusville

6 Women s Four-Ball Championship Beautiful weather, pristine playing conditions and top competition made for a very exciting Women s Four-Ball Championship. The Championship, which features two amateur golfers, is played over 36-holes of four-ball stroke play. This year s event was hosted by the challenging LPGA International - Jones Course, in Daytona Beach. The field featured a number of women from across the state, of all ages and abilities. In the end, the Florida Junior Tour duo of Ariel Yu and Chloe Schiavone took home the title after a first round that saw them five clear of the field. Saturday consisted of perfect playing conditions for the players, and many teams were able to take advantage of the opportunities. Four teams shot under par, with the team of Ariel Yu, of Bradenton, and Chloe Schiavone, of Jacksonville, leading the way after a seven-under par 65. Kayla Holden and Lauren Davenport sat five strokes behind Yu and Schiavone after a first round 70. Both teams feature players that currently play on the FJT circuit and have had a successful 2018 season thus far. Coming in at one-under par after Saturday s first round was the team of Therese Quinn, of Jacksonville, and Diane Lang, of Weston. Quinn and Lang are no stranger to the top of the leader board, as they already finished in the Top 10 at the first Women s Championship of the year, the International Four-Ball. Sunday saw great playing conditions again, and the field was ready for the challenge of catching up to Yu and Schiavone. After getting off to a great start, shooting a five under 31 on the front nine, the two went on to close with a second round 66, finishing at 13-under par total for the Championship and winning by nine strokes. Their final score of 131 breaks the previous 36-hole Four- Ball record of 133. Finishing in second at four under par was the team of Lauren Davenport and Kayla Holden. Sliding into third place after a second round 69 was the duo of Sherry Herman, of Middletown, NJ, and Lisa Schlesinger, of Fort Myers. This was Yu and Schiavone s first Women s Four-Ball Championship, so it is safe to say they will be back in contention for many more in the future. See fsga.org for full results.

8 Women s Senior Amateur Championship The Country Club of Ocala hosted the top senior and super-senior women in Florida for two days of tough competition. The leaderboard finished in a tight race after round one in the Senior Division as Kim Keyer-Scott took the early lead by one stroke. Keyer-Scott, of Bonita Springs, opened the Championship with a one over-par 73 with hopes of earning her first FSGA Championship victory. Close behind sat Alexander Frazier and three time Women s Senior Amateur Champion, Mary Jane Hiestand both posting a 74. Another strong force and past Senior Amateur Champion, Lisa Schlesinger, trailed the lead in fourth place after a first round 75. Mary Jane Hiestand proved that consistency is key as she posted two rounds of 74 to move from second to first place and win her fourth Senior Amateur Championship. Hiestand, 2017 Women s Senior player of the year from Naples, carded two birdies on the front nine in her final round to finish with a 148 (+4) total and a five stroke victory. Lisa Schlesinger, of Fort Myers, also advanced up the leaderboard to finish in second place with rounds of for a 153 (+9) total. Rounding out the top three was Betsy Knights, of Naples, who is in her second year participating in FSGA events. Knights posted rounds of to finish seven shots back at 155 (+11). Hiestand prevails for the fourth time as Champion in the third Women s Championship of Teri de Luis, of Sanford, played her way to the top of the Super-Senior leaderboard with a round one 80. Sara Jane Rose chased the lead, after finishing tied for 19th in 2017, with a first round 81. Rounding out the top three after round one sat Christine Hunt with a 82. Christine was on a mission to hunt first place down as she carded a second round 76 to capture a win! Hunt, of Ponte Vedra Beach, earned her first FSGA Championship victory by one stroke at 158 (+14). Sara Jane Rose never left second place finishing with a 78 and 159 total. Teri de Luis fell to third place with a 161 total. See fsga.org for full results. Weston Hills Country Club

9 Super-Senior Championship Buckhorn Springs Golf and Country Club, located in Valrico, was in pristine condition to serve as a great test for the Super-Senior Championship. Red numbers led the 65 & Over and age divisions after round one. The 65 & Over age division plays 54 holes of stroke play to determine the Champion while the and 75 & Over age divisions would crown the Champion after 36 holes. The 65 & Over division got off to a roaring start, with two players finishing round one under par. Bobby Lundquist, of Sanford, shot a first round 69 to take the lead by two strokes over Bruce Scamehorn, of Winter Haven, who fired a one-under 71. A host of players sat a few strokes behind Lundquist and Scamehorn, one of which was 2013 Senior Player of the Year, Doug LaCrosse. LaCrosse is a staple on the Senior circuit, posting top ten finishes in all but one tournament so far this year. After the second day of the Championship, LaCrosse was in solo fourth place, sitting just two shots back of the leader Bobby Lundquist. La- Crosse teed off on the final day of the Championship with one goal in mind; to win. He would go on a birdie/bogey stretch on holes two through six to find himself at one over-par coming into the ninth hole. He would go on to birdie nine, posting a front-nine score of 36. After making pars on the first four holes of the back nine, LaCrosse birdied the par five 14th hole, only to make bogey on the following hole. He would finish with three straight pars to shoot a final round 72, and claim his first Super-Senior Championship title. Donald Staton, of Boca Raton, finished in second place, one stroke behind LaCrosse. In the age division, Jack Heinemann, of Green Cove Springs, carded five birdies in his first round to seize the lead with a one under-par 71. Three players finished tied for second place with a 73 including, Randy Briggs, Jack Ramsey, and Jim Mason. Heinemann began his second round vying for his first FSGA Championship win but fell to a tied for seventh finish after a second round 84. Meanwhile, Jim Mason broke from his tie for second place to capture first place by one stroke. Mason, of Freeport, had one birdie in the final round en route to card a 76 and 149 (+5) total. Randy Briggs remained tied for second with Pat Vincelli and Paul Nunez at 150 total. Edward Craig birdied his 17th hole to take the lead by one stroke over defending Champion, Jim Pfrogner, after round one. Craig, of Orlando, posted a first round 74 while Pfrogner sat one stroke back with a 75. Craig, who won the age division in 2016, was ready to take his crown back from Pfrogner in the final round. Scoring the lowest round of the division, Craig achieved a wire-towire victory with an impressive second round even par score and 146 (+2) total. Craig carded three birdies in the first four holes to jump start his final round and add a second Super-Senior victory to his resume. Pfrogner remained in second place, five strokes behind, with a 151 (+7) total. See fsga.org for full results.

10 Senior Amateur Championship Mayacoo Lakes Country Club, in West Palm Beach, was a perfect test for 139 top senior golfers to compete in the 57th Senior Amateur Championship. After 36 holes of stroke play and a cut made at 158 (+16) or better the Champion would be determined by a sudden death playoff! The final round began with Bill Barnes, of Bonita Springs, leading by five strokes at 140 for the tournament. Barnes held onto his lead throughout the front nine, remaining two under-par at the turn, while several players started to move up the leaderboard. One of those players was Temple Terrace resident, Don Whittemore, who posted four birdies on his front nine making it his best round of the Championship. The final nine holes served as a challenge for Barnes especially the final hole. On the par four 18th hole, Barnes laid up short of the water only to dump his third shot in the water and make an eight-foot putt for double-bogey for a final round 75 and 215 (+2) total. Within his same pairing group, Barnes watched Whittemore come from behind with an impressive low final round of 68 (-3)! Whittemore started the day seven strokes back, tied for third place, and ended the day tied for first place with Barnes! Barnes and Whittemore went head to head in a sudden death playoff to determine who would hoist the trophy. Whittemore, who won his last FSGA Championship in 2012, was ready to end his drought while Barnes was fighting to win his first FSGA Championship. The playoff was short lived as Barnes sealed his victory with a two putt par on the first play-off hole, number 18. Whittemore missed his shot into the green left, putted through the green rolling to 20 feet on the fringe, and missed his par. Barnes not only earned his first win but he is now exempt into the next ten Senior Amateur Championships, the next two Florida Senior Open Championships, as well as the 101st Amateur Championship and the 2018 Mid-Amateur Championship being played in May!

14 Nice Shot, But Replay It By Darin Green - Director of Rules & Competitions Two weeks ago was the playing of 37th Florida Mid-Amateur Championship at the Coral Creek Club in the town of Placida. The Championship is unique because the format consists of 36-holes of stroke play and then the field is cut down to the low 32 scores. Those 32 players then advance to single elimination match play. The switch from stroke play to match play is unique because some rules and the penalties are different in match play. For instance, there are no two-stroke penalties in match play, rather there are lose of hole penalties. In addition, a player can overlook a breach of the rules by their opponent. One of the biggest differences between match and stroke play is when a player accidentally plays from outside the teeing ground. When a player plays from outside the teeing ground in stroke play it is a two-stroke penalty and the player must correct the error by playing a ball from within the correct teeing ground before starting play of the next hole. If the error is not corrected then the player is disqualified. In match play there is no penalty for playing from outside the teeing ground, but the opponent may immediately require the player to cancel that stroke and play a ball from within the teeing ground or the opponent could let the stroke stand as played. A few scenarios: If you are playing a match from the White tee markers and your opponent stops at the much farther Blue tees and makes a stroke, you may choose to say nothing and proceed to the White tees for your tee shot. If your opponent accidentally tees his ball up ahead of the tee markers and hits it long and down the middle of the fairway you may want to inform him he played from outside the teeing ground and must re-play the shot from inside the teeing ground. Conversely, if your opponent tees his ball up ahead of the tee markers and hits his tee shot into a water hazard along the fairway it would be beneficial to keep quiet and not require the player to re-play the shot. Knowing the Rules can make match play more enjoyable!

15 Women s Mid-Amateur Championship Kim Keyer-Scott found herself on top of the leader board for the second Championship in a row after an impressive two under-par 70 to take the lead by four strokes. Keyer-Scott started off strong with a birdie on her first hole, then continued on to bogey her second but quickly bounced back with birdies on holes four and five, making the turn at one-under with one final bogey. Starting off the back nine even stronger, Kim carded an eagle at the tenth and continued on steady with seven straight pars and a bogey finish to miss firing a 69. Mary Jane Hiestand, 2017 U.S. Women s Mid-Amateur Runner-Up and Senior Player of the Year, lurked close behind at two over-par, 74. Sarah Matin and Lin Culver were tied for third going into Sunday, following closely behind Hiestand and five strokes off the lead at three over-par, 75. There must be something in the water in Bonita Springs. Just weeks after holding the over night lead in the Women s Senior Amateur, Keyer-Scott had set herself up for another successful weekend at the Mid-Amateur. Sunday s final round started similar to her first, with a birdie on the first hole, a bogey on the second and a 35 to make the turn. The back nine proved to be a bit more challenging as Keyer-Scott carded two bogies and seven pars to finish with a solid 73. Kim posted two consistent rounds, finishing the weekend one under-par, , to win her first FSGA Championship by seven strokes. Ina Kim came back on Sunday to post even par 72 and finish in solo second with a two day total of 150. Mary Jane Hiestand concluded the weekend in solo third, and nine strokes off the lead, at 152. Defending Champion, Meghan Stasi, finished in fourth after a rough first round of 80, closing out the weekend at nine over-par, 153. See fsga.org for full results.

17 Junior Florida Cup Held annually, the Junior Florida Cup is one of the most fun and exciting golf events in Florida. Each year the state s top junior players are invited to participate in a North Florida versus South Florida team competition similar to the Ryder Cup. As the season inches closer and closer to the Memorial Day majors, the last opportunity to earn points for the Junior Cup, here is a look at how the teams could be constructed.

18 Two-Man Shoot-Out Always one of the most enjoyable events of the FSGA schedule, the Two-Man Shoot-Out also provided plenty of excitement! Held at PGA National Resort & Spa, team members competed in modified alternate shot on the Palmer course in the first round, four-ball in the second round on the Champion course and finally head back to the Palmer course for a scramble. Consistently the format that gives teams the most trouble, the modified alternate portion yielded only a few under par scores. Brian Keenan and Ken Kinkopf led the way with an impressive 66. The two carded six birdies and no bogeys, and held a six stroke lead over the team of Ron Davis and Kasey Denesevich. Sitting one stroke behind them were Matthew Marino and Donald Wolfe, as well as the father son duo of Bret and Bryce Voisin. The four-ball portion was competed on the Champion course. Hailed as one of the toughest stops for the PGA Tour, the Champion course would provide an excellent challenge for the teams. The teams of Davis and Denesevich, and Ben Adelberg and TJ Shuart turned heads after turning in rounds of 63. Playing in a steady mile per hour wind, Davis and Denesvich carded an alarming ten birdies, including six in a row on holes three through eight while Adelberg and Shuart fashioned two eagles to glide towards nine under for the round. A Sunday finish with a scramble was sure to provide fireworks. Going into the day, Davis and Denesevich held a three stroke lead on Adelberg and Shuart, however, as we have seen in the past, teams can come charging from behind in the scramble. Trying to do just that, Bob Campione and current FSGA president, Steve Carter closed with a 62 (-10) to apply the pressure to Davis and Denesevich. Making matters more interesting was the strong rain that teams played the last one or two holes in. Davis and Denesevich finished with a 66 to secure the victory by one stroke at 17 under-par.

19 37th Mid-Amateur Championship Marc Dull defeated three past FSGA Mid-Amateur Champions, and two past FSGA Players of the Year en route to the 37th Mid-Amateur Crown at the Coral Creek Club in Placida on May Finals In a back and forth match, Jeff Golden jumped out to an early lead, and would extend it to 2 up at the turn. Dull would begin his come back with a chip-in birdie from off the green on #12. On hole 15, sitting 1 up, Golden looked at a six foot par putt to win and move to 2 up, however he would burn the edge and miss low. Dull would win the 16th hole with a birdie to get the match to all square. With the players on 17, play was halted by heavy rains. When conditions permitted play to continue nearly two and a half hours later, Golden was unable to continue due to an unfortunate injury and defaulted the match. Semifinals The Sunday morning semifinals saw some fireworks. In match one, Jeff Golden got out to a 4 up lead through 8 holes. Hernandez would then win 4 of the next 5 holes to sit on the 14th tee all square. The players would halve holes with pars. On the 18th, Hernandez found trouble off the tee, and laid up. Golden safely found the green in regulation, leaving about 60 feet for birdie. Hernandez would hit his third to about 10 feet below the hole for a strong par look. Golden made sure that par putt did not matter, draining a 60 footer to win the match 1 up. In Semifinal two, Marc Dull found himself down throughout the whole match despite making minimal mistakes. Down 3 thru 11, he got one back when Shuart 3 putted the par 3, 12th. Dull then birdied 15 & 16 to get to all square. Shuart would make another bogey on 17, putting Dull 1 up. The pair would both make par on 18 giving Dull the 1 up victory. See fsga.org for full results.
