OFFICIAL RULES

Qualifying Period

 Qualification for the $500,000 Hole-in-one Competition will be from July 7-9, 2008 at Warroad Estates Golf Course.  Warroad Estates Golf Course is located at 37293 Elm Drive, Warroad, MN (2 miles north of Warroad on Hwy 313).  Qualification Period runs from 3:00-7:00 p.m. each day.  Persons who have not paid their entry fee by 7:00 p.m. each night will not be allowed to shoot after the 7:30 p.m. cut off time.

All Participants must check in with the Warroad Warrior Athletic Fund Table to pay your entry fee and to receive your golf balls used for competition.  Each golfer will be issued a colored ball for the competition.

Qualification shots cost $10.00 for 6 balls.

All participates, either male or female, will attempt a shot at the pin from approximately 100 yards away form the hole.

To qualify as a “finalist”, the participant must be the closest to the pin on any qualification day, two “wild card” finalists will be selected from all of the remaining participant shots recorded throughout the qualifying period.  The two shots closest to the pin after the top qualifier from each day will be awarded a “wild card” position.  No individual may qualify as a “finalist” more than one time though you may attempt to shoot closer to the pin if you fear enough people will better your shot. 

 The qualification period is four hours each day.  If a portion of the qualification period on any one day is cancelled due to inclement weather which prevents the remainder of the qualification time to occur, a “make-up” qualification time will be announced for the next day; the qualification period will continue for the remainder of the 4 hour period that was cancelled the previous day.  In the event that a qualification day is cancelled completely due to weather conditions, the “finalist” spot for that day will change to provide an additional “wild card” position.

Because we expect the 5 finalists to at least be within 20 feet of the pin, no measurements will be made unless your ball ends up within 20 feet of the pin.  This will save substantial time when the first few golfers take their shots.

A running top 5 list will be kept for each of the qualifying days.  Finalists will be notified of their qualification either in person  or via the phone number you leave us.

ONLY THOSE PARTICIPANTS WHO MAKE THE FINALS WILL BE SHOOTING FOR THE $500,000!!!!!! $500,000 WILL ONLY BE AWARDED FOR A HOLE-IN-ONE IN THE FINALS.

Finals

 Each of the 5 “finalists” will meet at the Warroad Estates Golf Course Clubhouse at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday, July 12, 2008.  In the event of extreme inclement weather, the event may be postponed until the following week.  Finalists will receive additional instructions at this time and have their clubs inspected.  Prior to this time, participants are welcome to warm up in the designated area of Warroad Estates Golf Course.  You will be given a regulation ball to shoot your Hole-In One shot.

No finalist may be a member of the PGA or any other professional golf organization.  No substitutions for qualifying golfer will be allowed.

HOLE-IN-ONE

 Each finalist will attempt one shot to hit a hole-in-one.  All finalists, men and women, will shoot from a length not less than 165 yards.  A shot is defined as a “stroke” by the USGA Rules of Golf.  Only one shot per participating contestant per target hole is permitted.  No practice shots, mulligans or substituted shots for the other contestants are permitted.

If a finalist hits a hole-in-one, that person will be awarded $500,000 in 40 yr. annuity paid out by Hole In One International (6195 Ridgeview Ct. Suite A, Reno, NV 89519).  This will be subject to the conditions of these rules and the conditions of the insurance company (as verified by the witnesses on site during the finals).  All 5 finalists can EACH win $500,000 if each hits a hole-in-one.

PRIZES

 Prizes will be awarded for the top three people that hit closest to the pin on each qualifying day.  Please see the prize board at Warroad Estates Golf Course for more information.

Should one of the finalists make a hole-in-one shot, information will be taken to make the prize claim.  Any of these winners will need to provide their social security number and sign a W-9 form and W-4 form for tax withholding.
