The Mutual of Omaha Drive, Chip & Putt presented by the Golf Channel, the world's largest junior golf skills competition, will swing into the Moorpark area to host a local championship at Rustic Canyon on Sat., May 31.

Taking place at noon, the local championship is a free golf skills competition for junior golfers of all abilities between the ages of 7 and 14.

Participants will be divided into four age divisions in three competitions: driving, chipping and putting.

Prizes will be awarded in each age group including first, second and third place for best overall performance. The top three finishers in each age group will be invited to one of 16 Regional Championships held throughout the country. From these events, regional winners in each age group will advance to the National Championships.
