**Note: Participation in A Prep Clinic is NOT required for participation in free Drive, Chip and Putt Qualifier Events.**

We are excited to announce a Drive, Chip and Putt Prep Clinic at Shackamaxon Country Club. Join PGA Coach Chance Scheffing and staff as we help kids prepare to participate in Drive, Chip, and Putt.

Whether they're new to the game and entering Drive, Chip and Putt for the first time, or experienced players, Drive, Chip and Putt is a great way for junior golfers to get a bite-size taste of golf while measuring skills in three areas of golf’s main skills.

Drive, Chip and Putt is an excellent program for juniors of all levels as participants have an opportunity to advance through local, subregional and regional qualifying to earn a place in the national finals that are conducted at Augusta National Golf Club on the Sunday before The Masters Tournament.

Our Prep Clinic will be a great opportunity for juniors to test their skills and experience the Drive, Chip and Putt format before attempting to qualify at the local level.

Our program will be run just like the local qualifier with scorecards, scoreboards, tee times, etc. so juniors get comfortable with the experience.  In addition, coaching and instructions will be provided in the designated warm-up areas to assist juniors before or after the competition.

Attire:
Dress for the weather, but shorts, a golf shirt or nice T-shirt, cap and tennis shoes are appropriate for our clinic. And don’t forget sunscreen!

Equipment needed:
If you have golf clubs for your participant, please bring them. Otherwise, please contact us as a limited supply of loaner clubs are available.

What’s included?

* All instruction
* Range balls
* Refreshments: water, sports drinks, snacks
* Actual Drive, Chip and Putt experience with scoring!
