Drive, Chip & Putt is a free nationwide junior golf development competition meant to grow the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills implemented in golf.

This event was a local qualifying event, where junior golfers visited First Tee – NWA to participate in the competition and play with their peers.

Part of the Northwest Arkansas Championship’s 20th anniversary celebration, young golfers and their families were invited to participate in a complimentary 9-hole play at Bella Vista Country Club.

To prepare before hitting the course, families had the opportunity to chat with and receive instruction from our coaches and learn about First Tee – NWA’s programming benefits!

In partnership with NextUp Northwest Arkansas, we were honored to host Teeing Up for Success: Golf Lessons & Networking – an evening filled with golf, networking, refreshments, and inspiration from speakers.

This event was a hands-on clinic that required no prior golf experience, encouraged all levels to participate, and was an absolute blast that built upon golf and social confidence!
