Air Force Golf Training Camp/Golf Team Information.
Selections for the annual golf training camp, which determines
the selection of the Air Force Golf Team, are initiated
with an AF form 303. The AF 303 is a "resume"
type document which is used to select the participants for
the training camp held each year at a pre-determined Air
Force golf course facility. The main criterion that is judged
in selecting the participants is tournament results. City,
state, US Open, pub links, base championships or other amateur
events on that level would be appropriate to put on the
resume. Minor events and intramural golf are not considered.
The more events and the higher you place, the better the
chance of selection. At the training camp, there is a 72
hole tournament of which 9 players (6 open, and 3 women)
go forward as the "Air Force Golf Team" to the
Armed Forces Championships. The Armed Forces event is a
72 hole tournament which is contested by all the service
branches. This championship is rotated between golf courses
of each service branch on a yearly basis. From the Armed
Forces tournament, the top scorers, regardless which branch
of service, are selected to form a team of players representing
the US Armed Forces for competition in the CISM (International
Military Sports Council). CISM is a worldwide sporting event
held in various countries throughout the world on an annual
basis.
Information can be obtained from your local base golf course
or fitness center on how to submit the 303. For further
information on the training camp, contact the Air Force
Sports Program.
