Red Hawk, Sparks Nevada

The registration process for our qualifier consists of two steps. It is open to all golfers in any of our 5 age groups, from anywhere in the country.

The first step is for the junior golfer to submit an application for this year’s tournament. The application becomes available about mid-February each year. It may be requested by email to ocrgolf@gmail.com, or requested from your local golf coach or instructor.

​The second step is for our Junior Golf Committee to review these applications and accept the top applications (based on our allocation of available slots at Red Hawk) from each age group and invite these junior golfers to register and compete in our qualifier.
Qualifying for “The Optimist”

​Optimist International has currently allocated 2 slots at Doral from the Reno Qualifier for each of the 5 age groups listed above (10 total), providing the junior golfer meets the then current qualifying score. In the event that more than two players in a given age group meet the qualifying score, the top two (ties resolved by scorecard) will be invited to Doral, and the other(s) will be alternates in the event that one of the others cannot go to Doral.

​The Board of Directors of the Optimist Club of Reno has currently budgeted for all junior golfers from our Pacific Central District who qualify for Doral to have their registration fee paid for by our club. This registration fee includes golfing, room and board, and all special events at “The Optimist”.  Transportation to/from “The Optimist” for the junior golfer is not included. “The Optimist” offers very attractive rates for parents to attend the event at the Trump National Resort and Spa along with their junior golfer.
