Drive, Chip & Putt 2016 Coming To All-Star Venues

I'm not sure exactly why but I'm recklessly speculating that the Drive, Chip And Putt qualifying for 2016 was announced well before the 2015 finals to get a better jump start for next year. Most impressive of all is the list of courses that will host "Regionals" to determine who makes it to Augusta National.

This, after Local and Sub-Regional qualifiers.

All details and links to registration for kids 7-15 can be found here in the official release. And check out the all-star list of courses hosting Regionals, which helps soften the blow if you don't make it to Augusta:

The venues that will host the 10 regional qualifying events include several USGA Championship and PGA Championship sites: Chambers Bay Golf Course (University Place, Wash., site of the 2015 U.S. Open conducted by the USGA), Congressional Country Club (Bethesda, Md.), Golf Club of Houston (Humble, Texas), Hazeltine National Golf Club (Chaska, Minn., site of the 2016 Ryder Cup), Medinah Country Club (Medinah, Ill.), Oakmont Country Club (Oakmont, Pa., site of the 2016 U.S. Open), The Country Club (Brookline, Mass.), Torrey Pines Golf Course (La Jolla, Calif., site of the 2021 U.S. Open), TPC Sawgrass (Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.) and Valhalla Golf Club (Louisville, Ky., site of the 2014 PGA Championship).
