Championship Division
Alec and Elle Nachmann, of Boca Raton, used their strong bond as siblings to be crowned wire-to-wire Champions of the Summer Mixed, which consisted of two rounds of four-ball competition. Seven birdies and an eagle, posted by Alec on the par five 11th hole, secured the duo first place after round one. The Nachmann’s began round two with a seven stroke lead after a first round 63 (-9). Elle, who is experienced in four-ball competition after winning the Women’s Four-Ball in 2017, kept the momentum going by scoring a birdie on the first hole of the second round. Alec followed Elle’s lead and birdied the second hole en route to a 34 on the front nine. A fire was lit inside of Elle as she birdied holes 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 to score a final round 65 (-7) and finish with a tournament total of 128 (-16). Alec, earning his first FSGA championship win, and Elle Nachmann posted two impressive rounds to hoist the trophy at Innisbrook Resort!

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 (8) 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 play-off on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the Champion. All other ties will be broken by a modified the USGA score card match.
Forward Division - All ties in each flight of the Forward Division will be broken by the modified USGA score card 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.
