Spike Policy

It is a condition of the Florida State Golf Association that shoes with traditionally-designed spikes (regardless of composition, i.e. ceramic, plastic, etc.) or spikes, regardless of design, comprised either entirely or partially of metal (when such metal comes in contact with the surface of the putting green) are prohibited.  Penalty for breach of this condition: Disqualification.

Pairings Party

After round two (approximately 5 PM) the Florida State Golf Association will host a pairing party for players and parents. Final round pairings will be distributed at that time. We are excited to have Mac Thayer (Junior Golf Scoreboard) and John Brooks (Former Head Golf Coach at North Florida and current advisor to the AJGA) as guest speakers who will present an updated briefing, 50 minutes, on navigating junior golf and the recruitment process. Following this presentation will be a discussion period (30 minutes) conducted by a panel of three college coaches who will answer all questions you may have. This is not a mandatory function but is strongly recommended.  

This is a unique opportunity that should not be missed.

Thank you and good luck!

FSGA Championship Committee
