Million Dollar Hole In One Shootout

The Million Dollar Hole In One Shootout is simply a "hole in one" contest that is conducted at a driving range over a period of several days (most often Thursday through Sunday). A special Target Green is created on the range at a distance of approximately 125 yards, and a (6) six foot diameter circle is painted with golf course marking paint around the target flag.

The event consists of three phases:

1. Qualifying: Golfers pay $1.00 per ball (special multiple ball prices) over the established period (usually four days)as they attempt to hit one ball into the six foot circle. Each and every time a golfer plays a shot into the circle, they earn a another shot in the second round of action, the Semi-Finals. Golfers are awarded one shot in the Semi-Finals for EACH SHOT THEY HIT INTO THE CIRCLE. we've seen golfers get up to 20 shots in the Semi-Finals.

Up to 18 golfers may compete at any one time, as each tee position/station on the range is identified by a UNIQUE GOLF BALL COLOR for player identification. A typical shootout should generate between 120-150 Semi-Final qualifiers.

2. Semi-Finals: This "closest to the hole contest" consists of all golfers who have hit at least one shot into the six foot circle during qualifying. The qualifiers are positioned at predesignated tee stations with specific golf ball colors. The golfers all shoot to the 125 yard target flag and their shots are "measured" (distance from the leading edge of the hole to the leading edge of golf ball) and recorded.

Golfers with multiple Semi-Finals shots will have their "best shot" or "closest shot" recorded. (25) twenty-Five individual golfers (number may vary dependent upon tournament set-up) advance to the MILLION DOLLAR FINALS.

3. Million Dollar Finals: This is where it becomes "Golf's Most Exciting Amateur Event"! Each finalist is introduced to the crowd and asked to play one shot to the Finals-Green from a distance of just 150 yards for men and 135 yards for ladies. The Finals-Green features a total of (19) nineteen holes/flags; One flag is valued at $1,000,000 for a hole in one, and (18) eighteen additional holes/flags feature prizes up to $10,000 (or more).

Benefits: The Million Dollar Hole In One Shootout offers charities, businesses - and golfers - so much more than a standard one day event.

1. Up to 1000 golfers are able to participate over the course of a full four-day event compared to 144 max for an 18 hole tournament. This allows the charity and business sponsors to reach out to a sought after market in large numbers.

2. A successful first year Shootout should generate a net profit of $8,000 to $37,000 plus when implemented accordingly. This is significantly more than the first time golf tournament net average of $5000.00.

3. Businesses receive true value for their sponsorship commitment. Normal sponsor amenities include "FREE QUALIFYING SHOT" coupons for customer promotions, a FINALS FLAG insured or valued at $10,000 in cash or product, FULL COLOR LOGO on tee signs, scoreboard signs, sponsorship materials and all-inclusive marketing strategies along with ON SITE DISPLAY of products and services and a SHOT IN THE MILLION DOLLAR FINALS. Many sponsors use this shot as a raffle or to recognize a special customer, employee and winning customer.

4. The excitement of the qualifying rounds, Semi-Finals and Finals is a thrill to golfers of all abilities. A chance to take a swing at a Finals-Green with (19) nineteen holes on it and knowing that a ball at the bottom of the cup could earn you ONE MILLION DOLLARS - this is a life changing experience - and should be a just play on every golfers agenda.
