Military Long Drive Qualifier

Eisenhower Lakes is a Military Long Drive Qualifier golf course!

The 2025 Military Long Drive Championship (MLDC) is a long drive qualifier competition sanctioned by World Long Drive Association (WLDA). The qualifying event will be a one-day competition that will take place at 12 Army golf courses. The winners from each of the 12 installations will move on to Fort Jackson for the Military Long Drive Championship, a televised Long Drive event.

Eligibility: The MLDC is open to all Active-Duty Service Members (All Branches), Retired, Reserve and National/Coast Guard members as well as Service-Related Disabled Veterans at least 18 years old with valid ID.

Entry Fee: Competitors in the MLDC will pay $25 per attempt (eight balls). Contestants may compete more than once pending time availability.

Rules:

Active-Duty participants that compete in qualifying and championship events must do so on their personal time.
The $25 entry fee purchases one attempt of eight drives. Participants may purchase additional attempts until the Garrison closes the event.
Each entrant will complete the eight drives back-to-back.
Participants will use only USGA-approved drivers (maximum 48 inches long) during the event.
All drives coming to rest within the grid will be recorded on the scoresheet. Drives exiting the grid will be graded at zero yardage.
The longest drive recorded for the day is the winner of the qualifying round. A three-attempt tie breaker will determine the winner in case of a tie.
Active-Duty participants must take regular leave to attend the championship event at Fort Jackson.
