Category: Million Dollar Shootout Insurance

If you plan on holding a Million Dollar Shootout, then you’ll need to pre-register/pre-qualify your players prior to the event.  Deciding the best course of action to take when it comes to qualifying your players can be quite confusing at times.  After all, there are a vast number of ways to go about doing so.  So how are you supposed to know which method will be most beneficial for your company or organization?  Let’s take a look:

Fundraising
If your goal is to fundraise, then the simplest way to qualify players would be to hold a raffle.  Depending on how big your company or organization is, you can charge anywhere from $1 to $2 upward toward $20 or $50 for an individual to enter a raffle and have their name drawn for a shot at $1,000,000.

Another way to help fundraise would be to have a silent auction.  The individual(s) with the highest bid received at the auction will then have the opportunity to participate in the Million Dollar Shoot-out.

You could also hold a merchandise sale and have the top 1-2 consumers who have spent the most money be the qualifiers!

Skills-based
Skills-based qualifiers are another great way to narrow down your players.  Having a longest or straightest drive contest or closest to the pin contest will help narrow down your players and determine who will be able to participate in the Million Dollar Shoot out.

If you’re having an actual golf tournament and the Million Dollar Shootout is to take place after the tournament, another option would be to take your first/last place team members and bring them back for the shot.

For added fun, be sure to offer consolation prizes to the other participants so they don’t leave empty-handed, whether it be a t-shirt, a sleeve of golf balls or perhaps a pro shop gift card where players can purchase merchandise or a free round of golf at the golf course!

Chances are that at your next golf event, you’ll likely hold your shootout at a golf course.  But did you know that Hole In One International also allows you to hold shootouts on a driving range once your players are pre-qualified?  All you need to do is follow the USGA regulations below:

• Make sure the size of the flag and cup are under USGA regulations
• Make sure the green is a USGA regulation-style green (no Astroturf or other synthetic materials)
• Make sure the green’s grass is mown the same way as any other standard green

And as with any other of our insurance policies, you’ll also want to make sure you measure the yardage from the actual hitting on the tee box to the hole cut in the green and that the yardage isn’t lower than what you state on your contest coverage application.

Wanting to give away a big prize at your next shootout contest on the driving range?  No problem; our contest consultants are here to help! You can call and speak to one by calling 800-827-2249 or just email us for a free, no-obligation quote!

P.S. To get you an accurate quote, we will need to know the following: how many players will be taking the shot, the yardage of the hole and the prize value you plan on going with.
