• 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.

Winners from each installation advance to Fort Jackson for a chance to win $10,000 and an invitation to the 2024 World Long Drive Championship.

Grand Prize
The contestant (see eligibility above) who wins the MLDC in Fort Jackson, South Carolina will win $10,000 cash, and be granted exemption into the World Long Drive World Championship (August 8-11, 2024) in Atlanta, GA. Acceptance of the cash prize will result in an amateur losing his/her status as an amateur long driver. World Long Drive and the sport of long drive is not associated with the USGA, therefore the winner will retain amateur golf status with the USGA.
