A new and unique tournament format using state of the art technology, allows club and recreational golfers of all skill levels to compete against fellow golfers from around the country on a live leaderboard, while supporting their favorite charity, and possibly earn a trip to the National Championship, all from the comfort of their favorite golf course.
The Fight For Life Golf Series is part of the Joan L. Kidd, MD, Fight For Life Continuum, an organization providing fundraising programs and producing events that benefit nonprofits which have raised approximately $1 million for various non-profit organizations and cancer patients since 2016. Dr. Joan Kidd, a renowned physician, battled ovarian cancer for more than three years before her passing in 2015. Her husband, Tom Kidd, created the Continuum in her honor, and oversees its activities along with a board of directors. The Continuum has also served the needs of approximately 16,000 cancer patients and their families since 2016.
“The Golf Series is a wonderful addition to our efforts for several reasons,” said Kidd. For golfers, it is a way to support their favorite charity, while enjoying the game they love with their friends, and earning points toward qualifying for the National Championship in October 2022.”
It allows everyday an opportunity for golfers to compete in a competition with a live leaderboard just like on the professional tours.
The first event of the Summer Series kicked off in June, but there are still five events remaining to qualify for the National Championships.
Competitors play a round of golf on Friday, Saturday or Sunday of the scheduled tournament week at any course of their choosing. The Fight for Life Golf Series is powered by the Chipd In mobile app, which connects players to be able to compete with other golfers nationwide on the same tournament weekend at any golf course in the U.S. A golf handicap will be calculated for each golfer (80% net scoring) so all skill levels are welcome to compete. In addition, the app will calculate a course handicap based on the par and slope rating of each player’s course to create a level playing field.
