APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND TAXES.
In the event of a conflict between the Rules and any other materials published by the Company or any

For purposes of these Rules, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below and any derivatives

In the event one (1) person pays for the “Twosome” or “Foursome” whoever may make the Potentially Winning

Potential Winning Shot means a golf strike from the Teeing Area on which Company is offering a Contest Prize

him or her to a Prize, but has not yet been confirmed as a Verified Winning Shot by Company.
Prize means the cash amount (Check) offered by the Company in the event a Participant makes a Verified

made a Potentially Winning Shot as part of the process to confirm the shot as a Verified Winning Shot.
Verified Winning Shot means a shot that has been confirmed by the Company as complying with these Rules,

Witness is any person(s), including a Playing Partner(s), who saw the Participant strike a Potentially Winning
Shot.
Section 2. ELIGIBILITY AND ENTERING.
The Contest is only open to individuals who comply with the USGA’s Rules of Amateur Status who: (i) are at

YOU MUST keep this Receipt / Tee Time Sheet for your records in event of claiming a Prize. Entry Fee for the hole-in-one contest is FREE!
The Contest is only available when the participating golf course is open during normal operating hours and
only when Company’s cameras and other recording equipment are operational and can easily verify a
Potentially Winning Shot. The contest is valid between 7:00 AM and 7:00PM, or from dusk to dawn as daylight
allows video to record properly. If the video cannot adequately see the player Participant and/or ball, then it is
null and void and does not qualify for Contest Prize.

ADDENDUM
Official Rules Continued…
To be recognized as a legitimate hole-in-one:
Proper Round: The shot must occur during a formal round of golf, typically nine or eighteen holes,
played under the Rules of Golf.
Teeing Ground: The ball must be struck from within the designated teeing area, between the tee
markers, without grounding the club or touching the line of play.
Direct Shot: The ball must go directly into the hole in a single stroke, technically. However, because
“Everyone deserves a…Lucky Bounce!” the ball is allowed to make multiple bounces, unimpeded, on
the FAIRWAY or the GREEN, and still go in the hole will still qualify. However, any deviation, such as
hitting a hazard first, a tree limb, a rock, another golf ball, etc., disqualifies the shot.
Witnesses: At least one other person must witness the shot and sign the scorecard to verify the hole-
in-one. Solo shots do not count.
Minimum Holes Played: The golfer must complete at least nine holes for the hole-in-one to be official.
SPECIAL NOTE: A hole-in-one must be achieved during a proper round of golf with witnesses, and
tradition dictates the player celebrates by buying drinks for fellow golfers.
