The Stephens Golf Center

Competition Overview

• Each participant will compete in all three skills (Drive, Chip and Putt).
• Participants will attempt three shots per skill, for a total of nine shots. Participants accumulate points per shot in all three skills.
• The champion in each individual skill competition will be determined by the participant with the most points accumulated in that particular skill.
• The overall champion in each age category will be determined by the participant with the most points accumulated between all three skills.

Drive Skill

• Each participant will attempt three drives from the same teeing area.
• All drives will be played to a 40-yard wide grid and the ball must come to rest in the grid to score points.

Chip Skill

• Each participant will attempt three chips from the same location approximately 10-15 yards from the hole.
• All chips will be measured and scored from the center of the hole with lines clearly marking the scoring rings.

Putt Skill

• Each participant will attempt three total putts, with one attempt from each of the following distances: 6’, 15’ and 30’.
• All putts will be measured and scored from the center of the hole with lines clearly marking the scoring rings.

Awards

• Prizes will be awarded to individual skill champions as well as overall champions for boys and girls in each age category.

Tee Times and Additional Information

• Tee times and any additional information needed for the qualifier will be shared via email communication after the close of registration.

​Registration will open at 9:00 am, one hour before the first tee time. You will see our Registration banner next to our tent showing you where to sign in and receive your tee gift. Please ensure you arrive on site to check in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tee time. Plan on arriving at the Drive station at least 5 minutes before your tee time, to ensure we stay on pace throughout the day.​

Each participant will be provided with a warm up size bucket of balls (approx. 20-25 balls). The ticket for the ball machine can be picked up at the front desk/bar area. There will be a designated marked off group of mats to use to warm up on the driving range. The practice facilities will open when registration opens at 9:00 am.

There will be a Kona Ice truck on site between 11:00 am - 1:00 pm available for purchase.

In the event of inclement weather, every effort will be made to complete the Drive, Chip and Putt Local Qualifier on the scheduled date. The competition will be conducted in the rain as long as there are not dangerous conditions such as lightning.

Golf course becomes unplayable or we run out of daylight and need to cancel the event: in the event that we cease play and cannot finish, the event we will attempt to reschedule as soon as possible.

1. ​Any division that has been completed and the awards have been handed out will remain finished and those divisions will NOT return for the rain reschedule.
2. Any division that has NOT completely finished WILL return for the reschedule.

• ​If we have one or more players within an age division, for example, Boys 12-13, who have not completed all nine golf shots, ALL boys 12-13 will need to return for the reschedule date or re-register for a different local qualifier.
  
• Even if a player has completed each station and turned in their card, they will still need to return to compete on their rescheduled date.
• All competitors within an age division need to compete under the same circumstances, meaning we cannot have a player in the Boys 12-13 compete on Friday, and be playing against a Boy 12-13 on the reschedule date where the hole location and competition may be different.
