TOURNAMENT RESULTS for 2026

February 15, 2026 – Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club
 
On a bright sunny and blustery day at Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club professional and amateur linksters took to the fairways for the 16th edition. Only two players scored in the seventies on the Bendelow layout whose routing has not changed over the last 104 years. Mark Harman from Ridgeland, South Carolina took the professional crown for the second time with the low round of the day at 78. The amateur title went to Winter Springs resident Bill Geisler, also for the second time with a fine 79. The Heritage Trophy was secured by TT member James Chambers with a net score of 69. Congratulations to the champions. 


The tournament celebrates the Florida Open a hickory event played at this venue in 1925 while the winner has his name affixed to the John Shippen Cup, America’s first golf professional. The cup resides permanently in the Temple Terrace clubhouse. Next year’s event is scheduled for Sunday, February 21, 2026.
