Through years of dedication\, discipline\, and perseverance\, he has developed into a highly accomplished junior golfer while  maintaining an unwavering commitment to academics\, character\, and personal growth. \nOn the golf course\, Camden has earned opportunities to compete in some of junior golf’s most respected events\, including the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship\, the Under Armour World Championship\, the Future Masters\, and the Mack Champ Invitational. He has not only competed in these prestigious championships\, but has earned multiple podium finishes\, demonstrating his ability to perform against many of the nation’s top young golfers. While he is proud of those accomplishments\, Camden understands that success is measured by much more than scores and trophies. \nIn the classroom\, Camden is a 4.0 student in the Honors Program and is currently enrolled in the 8th grade\, although he would typically be in the 7th grade based on his age. His academic advancement reflects the same dedication\, discipline\, and commitment to excellence that he brings to the golf course. \nAs a young African American golfer\, Camden understands that the opportunities available to him today exist because of the sacrifices and achievements of those who came before him. He has taken the time to learn about the pioneers who helped break barriers in the game and deeply appreciates the legacy they created. Camden recognizes that he is part of a larger story and proudly works each day to carry forward the torch that previous generations lit through their courage\, excellence\, and perseverance. \nFor Camden\, participating in the Bill Wright Anniversary Event is about much more than golf. It is an opportunity to honor a trailblazer\, celebrate an important piece of golf history\, and represent the next generation of young golfers who are committed to preserving and advancing that legacy. Camden is honored to be considered for participation in this special event and looks forward to representing Mr. Wright’s family\, community\, and supporters with humility\, gratitude\, and respect.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \n\nCompetition\nTournament Competition – Net Competition \nTournament competition will be Net Stroke Competition.  Scores will be tallied and prizes awarded for Divisions as follows: \nChampionship Division  \n\n\n\nTournament Champion (Lower of Low Net or Low Gross)\nLow Gross\nLow Net\nLow Net Runner-up\n\n\n\nOpen Division \n\n\n\nLow Net\nLow Net Runner-up\nLow Net 2nd Runner-up\n\n\n\nJunior Division \n\n\n\nDivision Champion (Lower of Low Net or Low Gross)\nLow Gross\nLow Net\nLow Net Runner-up\n\n\n\nStart of Tournament \nTournament Welcome\, review of playing rules\, review of course rules\, and questions from the field meeting at 10:00 am. \nTime of Starting \nIf the player arrives at his starting point\, ready to play\, within five minutes after his starting time\, in the absence of circumstances which warrant waiving the penalty of disqualification as provided in Rule 5.3a\, the penalty for failure to start on time (including starting early) is loss of two strokes in stroke play. The penalty for lateness or starting early beyond five minutes is disqualification. \nTournament Play Rules Apply \nThe Rules of the United States Golf Association govern play. Complete text of Rules may be found in the current Rules of Golf. Unless otherwise indicated\, the penalty for breach of a Local Rule or Condition: Stroke Play = Two Strokes. \nBalls may be lifted\, cleaned and placed within 1 club length of its original location\, outside of marked Hazards. Balls inside Hazards must be played as they lie. \nBalls within casual water and grounds under repair\, may be lifted cleaned and placed within 1 club length of such area\, but in no instance shall a player improve his lie by moving a ball from a Hazard. \nWhen a player’s ball has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds\, the player may proceed as follows rather than proceeding under stroke and distance: \n\nBall Reference Point: The point where the original ball is estimated to have:\n\nCome to rest on the course\, or\nLast crossed the edge of the course boundary to go out of bounds.\n\n\nFairway Reference Point: The point of fairway of the hole being played that is nearest to the ball reference point\, but is not nearer the hole than the ball reference point.\n\nFor purposes of this Local Rule\, “fairway” means any part of the general area cut to fairway height or less. \nIf a ball is estimated to be lost on the course or last crossed the edge of the course boundary short of the fairway\, the fairway reference point may be a grass path or a teeing ground for the hole being played cut to fairway height or less. \nSize of Relief Area Based on Reference Points: Anywhere between: \n\nA line from the hole through the ball reference point (and within two club-lengths to the outside of that line)\, and\nA line from the hole through the fairway reference point (and within two club-lengths to the fairway side of that line).\n\nBut with these limits: \nLimits on Location of Relief Area: \n\nMust be in the general area\, and\nMust not be nearer the hole than the ball reference point.\n\nOnce the player puts a ball in play under this Local Rule: \n\nThe original ball is no longer in play and must not be played\nThis is true even if the ball is found on the course before the end of the three-minute search time (see Rule 6.3b).\n\nBut the player may not use this option to take relief for the original ball when: \n\n That ball is known or virtually certain to have come to rest in a penalty area\, or\n The player has played another ball provisionally under penalty of stroke and distance (see Rule 18.3).\n\nA player may use this option to take relief for a provisional ball that has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds. \nPenalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a \n**In the event that there is confusion at any time. Please proceed under the provisions for “playing 2 balls” keeping both holed out scores and bring the matter to the Tournament Committee at the end of the round. \nTournament Pace – of – Play Requirements \nEach group will be required to finish their round in 4 hours and 30 minutes with the following provisions: \nOUT OF POSITION DEFINITION\nYour group is considered to be OUT OF POSITION when both of the following conditions are present: \nYour group is more than 15 minutes behind the group in front of your group (timed from flag in to flag in)…AND \nYour group is playing slower than an average of 15 minutes per hole. The time is computed from the time the first player in the group teed off on the first hole. The subsequent holes are timed from flagstick in to flagstick in. \nTIMING CRITERIA:\nWhen a group is out of position\, they are subject to timing. Players must play each shot in no more than 40 seconds from the time the shot\, played by your fellow competitor before you\, comes to rest. On the putting green\, timing will begin after a reasonable amount of time is allowed (for the first player to putt) to mark\, lift\, clean and replace the ball\, repair his/her ball mark\, and\, on the line of putt\, repair other ball marks and remove loose impediments. On the teeing ground\, timing will begin after a reasonable amount of time is allowed (for the first player to play) club selection and updating scorecard etc. Undue delay may also occur between strokes and will be considered by the committee in the resolution of any appeals or in timing play or a match\, e.g.\, stopping for the beverage cart\, leaving the course to pickup beverages at the clubhouse or stopping at the turn. \nPENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 6-7: \n\n\n\nFirst offense – Warning\nSecond offense – One stroke;\nThird offense – Two strokes.\nFor subsequent offense – Disqualification\n\n\n\nTournament Maximum Double Par Stroke Rule \nPar 3’s Max six (6) Strokes\, Par 4’s Max eight (8) strokes\, Par 5’s Max ten (10) strokes. If your next stroke results in double par on any hole\, please pick up and move to the next hole to tee-off. \nOn Course Discrepancies \nFirst try to resolve the issue within the group\, if the players cannot solve the issue. Play two balls and report discrepancies to a tournament rules committee member immediately after the round. Have fun\, show integrity and respect to your playing partner and everyone on the golf course. \nScore Cards: Electronic scoring will be used\, at least one person in each playing group is responsible for entering electronic scores for each player of the group during the round.
