How it works:
Drive: Each participant will attempt 3 Drives down a 40-yard wide fairway. Drives must finish in the fairway to score points.
Chip: Each participant will attempt three 10-15 yard chips at the scoring hole. Chips will be measured from the center of the hole with scoring rings.
Putt: Each participant will attempt one putt from 6', 15' and 30'. Putts will be measured from the center of the hole with scoring rings.
What is Drive Chip and Putt?
A joint initiative founded in 2013 by the Masters Tournament, United States Golf Association and The PGA of America, Drive, Chip and Putt is a free nationwide junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf.
By tapping the creative and competitive spirit of girls and boys ages 7-15, Drive, Chip and Putt provides aspiring junior golfers an opportunity to play with their peers in qualifiers around the country. Participants who advance through local, sub-regional and regional qualifying in each age/gender category earn a place in the National Finals, which is conducted at Augusta National Golf Club the Sunday before the Masters Tournamentand is broadcast live by Golf Channel.
Honored to be a part of your golf journey and excited to see what's to come!
