FLORIDA STATE GOLF ASSOCIATION Dear Florida Golfers, Thank you for supporting the Florida State Golf Association. As a member of the FSGA, you are helping us preserve and protect this great game. We must first recognize all of the FSGA Committee Members who make our service to the game possible. There are more than 500 Committee Members across Florida who assist with tournaments and course rating. The FSGA has become one of the premier state golf associations in the country because of these fine men and women. In 2020, the FSGA will conduct over 600 days of competition including: 47 state championships, 47 USGA qualifying events and over 190 One-Day tournaments. The Florida Junior Tour (FJT) continues to provide competitive and affordable tournaments for the state’s top junior golfers. In its 18th season, the FJT consists of over 40 events for boys and girls ages 9-18. If you have the chance, come out to see these unbelievable junior golfers! We hope you will join the FSGA as a Foundation Member and support the Future of Golf Foundation. The Foundation benefits the state’s juniors with college scholarships and assistance with travel expenses to state and national tournaments. We appreciate your support and dedication to the game of golf. Sincerely,
Kevin Hammer FSGA President

PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
2019 PLAYERS OF THE YEAR AMATEUR AND MID-AMATEUR PLAYER OF THE YEAR - DEVON HOPKINS Hopkins was honored with both the Amateur and Mid-Amateur Player of the Year award following a breakout 2019 season, that included an FSGA championship win and two USGA championship appearances. “It a huge honor. There is a ton of talent in Florida and a lot of tournaments, so it means a ton,” Hopkins said. The Jacksonville Beach resident captured his first FSGA championship at Sara Bay Country Club in early October, where he won the Florida Mid-Amateur Stroke Play Championship. He fired a final-round 4-under 68 to capture the 4-shot victory. Hopkins found success in multiple USGA championships this season. In his first USGA event, he advanced to the Quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship at Bandon Dunes with partner Matt Kleinrock. The South Africa native earned medalist honors with rounds of 69-68 on July 15-16 at Fox Hollow Golf Club in Trinity to punch his ticket to the 119th U.S. Amateur Championship. With 7,191 entries for this year’s U.S. Amateur, Hopkins was one of the 312 players to tee it up at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. Hopkins had Round of 16 appearances in the Florida Amateur Match Play Championship and Florida MidAmateur Championship earlier this year. He also finished tied for 14th at the Florida Open Championship.
