$150 Putting Contests Feature Free Gas, Food

July 9, 2008 - PRLog -- The country’s largest putting contest insurance provider, Hole In One International, is now offering putting contest prize packages featuring $2,500 or more in free gas and groceries to help charity golf tournament organizers and sponsors make their fundraising golf tournaments more enticing to would-be participants. The giant-prize putting contests give golf tournament sponsors and organizers a fast and easy way to enhance the visibility and marketability of their golf events for as little as $150.

According to Mark Gilmartin, President and CEO of Hole In One International, golf tournament organizers and sponsors utilize giant-prize putting contests in order to raise additional funds before, during, and after their golf tournaments. In order to reduce their liability for the mega-prize putting contest prizes, they turn to companies like Hole In One International to purchase putting contest insurance.

Gilmartin notes, “The cost of a putting contest insurance packages vary based upon the size of the prize, the length of the grand prize putt and whether or not our client wants every golfer to participate in the contest or just a select few.  Contests can also be customized based on the sponsor, and or the theme of the tournament. For example, an auto dealer may choose to sponsor a putting contest featuring a brand new car and a “lifetime” supply of free gas, while a local bank may choose to offer a straight cash prize. One popular option for many charity golf tournament organizers is to run a $50,000 50/50 putting contest where when a putting contest participant sinks the putt, the contestant splits the prize 50/50 with the charity. And of course, the best part is, we’re there to pay for the prize whenever there is a big winner.”
