These photos from the 2024 Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals have all the feels
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Smiles. Hug. Even a few tears. The 10th edition of the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals had all those emotions and more as 80 boys and girls ages 7 to 15 competed at Augusta National Golf Club on the Sunday eve of the 2024 Masters.
The anticipation for playing in the event remains palpable for all those who earned their way into the final. “It’s like heaven,” said Texas Terry, a precocious 11-year-old, who claimed the title in the Boys 10-11 age division. “When I picture heaven, I picture this.”
You didn’t just have to be a winner to have a good time. As the following pictures show, just participating in the event was a thrill for those involved, whether they walked away with hardware or not.
