I'm trying to register my youth for a local qualifier and their division is full. Is there a wait list?

We do not maintain a wait list for local qualifying sites. Please check back at a later time to see if a spot in the field has become available or try and find a different local qualifier in your area.

I made a mistake during registration. How do I make changes to registration information?

Please login to your account at www.drivechipandputt.com and visit your account dashboard to make a change to your registration information. If you are unable to make the necessary changes, email us at info@drivechipandputt.com. Please do not create multiple accounts for your participant by registering with a different email address or by adding the same participant multiple times to your account.

Is my youth in the correct age bracket?

The age bracket is based upon the participant's age as of the date of the current qualifying season's National Finals. Boys and girls will compete in separate divisions in four age categories: 7-9 years old; 10-11 years old; 12-13 years old; and 14-15 years old.

Can I register my youth at more than one qualifier?

Participants may register to compete in only one local qualifier. Competing in more than one local qualifier will result in the automatic disqualification of that participant.

I need to change my qualifying path.

The parent/guardian should login to his or her account at www.drivechipandputt.com. The path for qualifying is pre-determined based on math, which is done to maintain equal numbers of participants in the subregional and regional stages. Thus, your youth would have to participate in the corresponding pre-assigned subregional and regional events should he/she advance from their local qualifier. If you want your youth to attend an alternate subregional qualifier, you must select a local qualifying site accordingly before participating.

Is it too late to register for a local qualifier?

Local qualifiers are generally conducted from early May through late July each year. Registration for each event closes at 4 p.m. EDT five (5) days prior to the local qualifier. Late applicants are not accepted.

Can my youth use a caddie?

Can my youth use his/her own golf balls?
