Local Youth aims to score big at Augusta National
Drive, Chip and Putt is a nationwide youth golf development initiative for boys and girls ages 7-15, designed to inspire a new generation to choose golf as a lifetime pursuit.
The top 80 performers each year earn the opportunity to compete in the National Finals at one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the world – Augusta National, home of the Masters Tournament.
One of those finalist comes from right here in Jacksonville. Lily Wachter will be making her second appearance in the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals at Augusta National. Rance rolled down to Stillwater to meet Lily and her coach Robert Ford to find out what drives the young lady.
The 2024 Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals will be broadcast live on the Golf Channel on Sunday.
