    \n
  1. Golfers of all ages and skill levels are invited to visit a specially designed [temporary] golf course in downtown Calgary during the qualification rounds (dates and times listed below). Located at 239 Stephen Avenue SW, the course is modeled on the closing\u00a0holes of the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, home of the Shaw Charity Classic; participants attempt to prove their golf prowess in three\u00a0putting holes and one chip contest.<\/del><\/li>\n
  2. The top scorer of each day, plus the next three runners-up from the qualification round, all advance to the semi-finals on August 5.<\/del><\/li>\n
  3. The top two aggregate scorers from the semi-finals advance to the final round.\u00a0And this is where it gets really<\/em> exciting…<\/del><\/li>\n
  4. With Fred Couples in attendance<\/em>, the two finalists go head-to-head in a chip off on Thursday, August 6 at 8:30 am\u00a0on the 18th hole at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. This is where\u00a0Couples\u2019 made his thrilling eagle chip-in last year. One lucky golf fan will be the ultimate champion!<\/del><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
