Hole In One International, the country’s largest hole-in-one insurance provider announced today the release of their Top 20 Hole In One Prizes for 2009, a roster of affordable hole in one prize packages designed to help golf outing planners boost interest in their golf event without adding substantially to the cost of running a tournament.
According to Mark Gilmartin, president of Hole In One International, “Last year, we began offering prize package suggestions on our website, www.HoleInOneInternational.com. We soon realized, based on customer response, that many golf tournament organizers and hole in one contest sponsors, who had insured motorcycles, cars and smaller cash prizes were looking for more innovative and attention grabbing hole-in-one prizes to help their tournament stand apart from the competition. This year we know that many fundraising golf tournament organizers will be facing the dual challenge of getting both players and sponsors involved. That’s why we’ve created a “top twenty” list of spectacular hole in one prizes that are not only affordable, but are designed to grab newspaper headlines and capture a golfer’s imagination.”
The new hole in one prize packages, which are available on the company’s website,
www.HoleInOneInternational.com, start from $150 for a 5 day/4 night Pebble Beach Golf Vacation that includes roundtrip airfare and one round of golf per person at Pebble Beach and Spyglass to a $1,700 package featuring a Porsche 911 Turbo, valued at over $125,000.
For those unfamiliar with companies like Hole In One International, Gilmartin explains, “Sponsors and tournament directors utilize hole in one insurance coverage to make their golf event more appealing to potential participants. For a small fee based on the dollar value of the prize being offered, the number of participants in the tournament and the length of the hole that is to be insured, a charity golf tournament can advertise the chance to win any prize with a cash value up to $1,000,000 and if someone aces the target hole, Hole In One International steps in and pays for the prize.”
