Now here’s a hole in one prize winner definitely worth talking about: Richard Ross of Grand Rapids, Michigan won an 18k white gold diamond necklace valued at $35,000, provided by Thomas S. Fox Diamond Jewelers and paid for by Hole In One International, thanks to his hole-in-one at the Crystal Invitational at Cascade Hills Country Club on July 13, 2012.

While this was Ross’ fifth hole-in-one to date, it was also a first, as Ross had never previously won an insured hole in one prize prior to his ace on the 150-yard 11th hole.

Congratulations to Rich Cangiolosi of Albuquerque, New Mexico on his hole in one at the Hands Across Cultures 13th Annual Golf Tournament at Cochiti Golf Club in Cochiti Lake, New Mexico on July 27, 2012!

Cangiolosi won a set of Cleveland Irons, compliments of Hole In One International, for acing the par 3 7th hole, which measured 135 yards.  While it wasn’t the $10,000 target prize on hole 16, he was still awarded a fabulous prize regardless.  Why?  Because Hole In One International wants to recognize players for their amazing achievements, which is apparent because of the complimentary auxiliary prizes offered on non-target par 3 holes over 135 yards.

Plus, whenever you purchase a hole in one insurance policy with Hole In One International, we also throw in complimentary signage, tee markers and a free tee prize for each and every golfer in your event!

Hole In One International would like to congratulate David Pender of The Woodlands, Texas on his hole in one during the Permian Basin Gusher Golf Tournament, which took place on May 20, 2012 at Green Tree Country Club in Midland, Texas!

Pender was fortunate enough to have aced a hole on the golf course that day, which measured approximately 187 yards.  Even more fortunate, Pender ended up being awarded a $500 VISA Gift Card from Hole In One International for his amazing feat!  That’s because when you purchase hole in one insurance coverage through Hole In One International, we’ll supply auxiliary prizes on every par 3 over 165 yards on the course which players can win should they make a hole-in-one on one of those holes!

Although no one won any of the vehicles insured by All American Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge of Odessa that day, there were several opportunities to win an auxiliary prize that day, seeing as how participants played three separate 18-hole courses –  Pender just happened to be the one to overcome the odds!  Congratulations again and we hope you enjoy your complimentary $500!

The event may have been cancelled early on due to weather; however, Mother Nature herself could not stop professional golfers Mark Wilson, Craig Stadler and Thomas Bjørn from achieving the statistically near-impossible: all three golfers made a hole in one today, April 4, 2012 during the 2012 Masters Par 3 Tournament.

Sure, you know what a golf tournament is,  but what’s does ”tournament format“ mean in regards to hole in one insurance?

Kristen Hansen, Social Media Marketing Assistant with Hole In One International explains…

With a hole in one tournament format, you’re insuring a prize for each and every player who is playing in the outing that day.  All players must be pre-registered, as hole in one companies rarely insure walk-up or “pay to play” events because it’s difficult to keep track of and determine exactly how many players there were in the event that day.  With a hole in one format, you insure a prize on the par 3 holes of your choice on the golf course and we’ll not only pay out each and every hole in one made on the insured holes, but also throw in up to 4 complimentary auxiliary prizes on the remaining par 3s that you didn’t insure for.  Hole in one insurance companies do require a certain minimum yardage –  typically  is 135 yards.  Wondering what to insure as a prize that day?  Here are some suggestions.

The “tournament format” is ideal for people who want all of the players to get a shot at a prize!  And with the tournament format, you’re not just getting a chance at one prize – you’re getting a shot at several because of the addition of our auxiliary prizes!

Think that it’s impossible to fundraise when you’re insuring a tournament format?  Think again!  Feel free to sell mulligans for players to receive additional shots!  Just be sure not to use them on any of the holes you’re insuring for, as mulligans and/or practice shots will void the policy (this applies to auxiliary prize holes as well).
