Drive Chip and Putt 2023 Schedule and Rules -

Drive Chip and Putt 2023 schedule commenced on April 30 around the US. Six qualifying events at the local level will take place from June 20-25.

The winners of the local levels will move forward to the sub-regional level, followed by regional, and ultimately the prominent Nationals titles.

Drive Chip and Putt (DCP) is a free entry-fee golf tournament founded by the alliance of the Masters Tournament, the United States Golf Association, and The PGA of America.

DCP is a nationwide junior golf development competition that hosts more than 350 events throughout the summer to award its winners from two divisions and four age categories.

Passionate young golfers from the ages 7-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15 play in the boys and girls division to have a bite of the DCP medals.

Drive Chip and Putt Rules

Drive Chip and Putt comply with the USGA Rules of Amateur Status. There are several other rules on the stage to get through this tournament.

The following set of rules has been distinguished under numerous conditions to be a qualifier:

Rules in terms of Eligibility

DCP participants must be at least seven years of age and may not be older than 15 years of age on the date of the National Finals on April 7, 2024.

Participants are only allowed to compete in only one local qualifier. Competing in more than one local qualifier will result in the automatic disqualification.

The player’s clubs and golf balls must conform to the requirements of the Rules of Golf. Meaning; the golf equipment used by a participant must be named on the current list of the tournament.

Rules in terms of Entries

A participant's entry is only accepted when only one entry form has been confirmed and submitted by their parents or guardians through the strict use of online medium only. The form submission date expires five days prior to the local qualifier.

Local qualifying entries have been accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Hence, a participant is requested to adhere to the time formalities of the tournament.

The Drive, Chip, and Putt Executive Committee can exercise the right to change a participant’s designation.

Rules in terms of the Schedule of Competition

Only the top 3 overall point-earning participants from local qualifiers will advance to the subregional qualifying level of the competition.
Meanwhile, only the top two overall point earners from each age category of both boys and girls divisions of the subregional level will advance to the regional qualifying level.
Only the overall champion, that is, only one participant from each division and category, will forward to the National Finals.

Rules in terms of Scoring & Competing

The National level competitors will compete in all three skills; Drive, Chip, and Putt. Participants will attempt three shots per skill, for a total of nine shots. The use of a putter is prohibited in the chip skill, except for a "chipper" club.
The participant with the highest number of points in an individual skill will be declared the winner of the skill in their age category.
The participant with the highest point total in all three skills combined will be the overall champion of his or her age category.

While these are some of the basic rules on each level to follow, the participants and their parents are highly requested to adjust to the playing conditions put forward by the tournament committee when necessary.

DCP Executive Committee has the right to make any recommendations regarding the competition if it may prove beneficial for the program.
