The four team members must each be members of the club and each individual must also be a member of the FSGA. The Championship features 36 holes of stroke play with the total of the low 3 of the 4 gross scores counting in each round.
Last year at the PGA Golf Club, the team from Lago Mar Country Club won their first title. Team members Rick Woulfe, Bob Ethridge, Steve Sponder and Craig Stevens posted scores of 231-219—450 to win the title.
