Drive, Chip & Putt Registration Confirmation Update

Thank you to everyone for your interest in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship. Due to the overwhelming response we received, it was necessary to conduct a random drawing to determine the field for local qualifying in each region. Confirmation emails were sent last week to those selected in the random drawing from drivechipandputt@reply.usga.chtah.com. If you are unsure about whether or not your child has received a place in local qualifying, we ask that you click here and submit the email address that was used to complete the registration. Please note – many times these emails are delivered to the Junk Mail (spam) folder.

We will notify all participants of their status when the confirmation process is complete. It is still possible those who were not selected as part of the initial random drawing could be added to the field should spots open up due to declines. You will receive an email regarding your child's status one way or the other as confirmations progress.

Thanks very much to everyone for your interest and understanding. We greatly appreciate everyone’s support of the Drive, Chip and Putt Championship!
