Upon arrival at the Tournament Club of Iowa, head towards the golf course entrance/sidewalk to the left of the building.  Registration, driving, chipping, putting, and awards will all be located in this area (see map below).  

Participants need to check in at the registration table near the scoreboard upon arrival– first thing.  You will receive your scorecard and additional information on the competition.  

You will be given a short amount of time (30 minutes) to warm up before you will be expected to be at the Driving Station 5 minutes prior to your tee time.  The Driving Station will be on the right side of the driving range, look for the Drive Sign.  The rotation schedule will be drive, chip, then putt.  Putting and Chipping are located near the driving range, look for the Chip and Putt signs.  Balls will be on the driving range for warm-up.  Please remember this is a warm-up session, not a practice session.  There will also be space on the chipping/putting greens to warm up as well.  

Participants are not to practice in contest areas.  They will be roped off.  You may use your own balls and clubs, or some will be provided for you.  Retrieval of the golf balls used for the driving contest is not guaranteed.

To recap, please, upon arrival at the Tournament Club of Iowa, head towards the golf course entrance/sidewalk to the left of the building.  Warm-up and then be at the Driving Station area 5 minutes prior to your tee time.
