Two Aces More Common Than You May Think!

We know what you’re probably thinking: “Two aces during the same round of golf?  What are the odds on that? There’s no way that could happen!”  But according to these stories that come to us from The Northern Advocate, USA Today, Sky Sports and North Fulton, it does… and frequently, at that!

In fact, you’ll notice that not only did these individuals manage to make two hole in ones during the same round, but all of them happened this year… and 2012 has only just begun!  Suddenly those 1 in 67 million odds don’t seem so far-fetched, do they?

The aforementioned stories are a prime example of why choosing the right hole in one insurance coverage makes all the difference!

“Why choose Hole In One International versus the other hole in one insurance coverage companies out there?”

We’re glad you asked! When you choose to insure your event with Hole In One International,  for as little as $150, each and every player at your event has a chance to win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes … But,  unlike many other hole in one coverage companies, Hole In One International pays for multiple hole in ones.  That’s right: that minimum $150 premium doesn’t cover just the first hole in one that’s made — it covers each and every one made by any/all of your tournament players.  Plus, you have the added peace of mind of working with a hole in one insurance coverage company that is underwritten by an A-rated insurance company (Praetorian).

It doesn’t get any better than that!

Want to make sure that any lucky player making double aces during your tournament takes home a prize – or that everyone who makes an hole in one will get a prize winner this season?  Then give Hole In One International a call at 800-827-2249 to speak with one of our experienced contest consultants or email us for further information on how to get started!

Million Dollar Shoot-out Signage

So you’re purchasing Million Dollar Shoot out coverage through Hole In One International?  That’s great!  Did you know that when you do so, a free sign with the sponsor’s name and prize description is included?

When it comes to customizing your Million Dollar Shootout sign, there are many factors to take into consideration.  Although the prize description for the Million Dollar Shoot-out sign is not customizable, Hole In One International still allows you a lot of leeway with what you can do with the “Sponsor Name” portion of the sign.

Information
What kind of information do you want the sponsor portion of your sign to contain?  Many people prefer to merely have the company/organization name on there; others prefer the latter along with an individual’s name or address and/or phone number.  Make sure you think about how you want your sign to read.

Artwork
Rather than just having plain text on the sign, Hole In One International allows logos and artwork, so long as the image you provide us is high-resolution quality.  Perhaps you’d like your company/organization’s logo on the sign, or maybe you’d like to couple your artwork/logo with some plain text at the bottom.  There are a variety of different ways to go about doing this.

Visibility
One other thing you’ll definitely want to pay attention to (which is often overlooked) is the visibility of your sign. Since the printed area with the sponsor’s name is only 11″x17″ (the sign itself is 30″x30″), the more text you place on your sign, the smaller the visibility will be.  If you plan on only having your company/organization name typed on the sign, the text will be large and easy-to-read; however, if you want more detailed information typed on the sign, such as an individual’s name, phone number or address, then the text will be smaller and perhaps a bit less easy to read.  Make sure if you’re using artwork/logos that the image is vibrant in color and that the color of the text on the logo (if applicable) does not clash with the background color.

When Hole In One International creates your Million Dollar Shoot out signage, they will gladly send you a proof of the sponsor’s name area if requested.  To request a proof, all you have to do is email us with the request… or you’re always welcome to give us a call at 800-827-2249!  Along with the request, Hole In One International will also need the contract/application number that your policy is under.  If you have any other questions about Million Dollar Shootout signage, or hole in 1 coverage in general, feel free to contact us Monday through Friday between the  hours of 6am and 5pm Pacific.

The Odds of a Hole In One

So you’re participating in a tournament that’s advertising a hole in one prize.  Have you ever wondered what your odds of winning that big, insured prize are?   Chances are you view them as insurmountable; however, as you’ve likely seen from our Weekend Winner blog posts, hole in ones are actually a common occurrence!

The odds of making a hole in one on a par 3 are roughly 1 in 12,500 for amateurs and 1 in 2,500 for professionals. Sure, those figures may seem a bit daunting… but if your tournament has an average of 100 amateur players and your golf course or country club has a total of four par 3 holes, the odds of someone in your tournament acing one of those holes is approximately 1 in 32.  Now that’s more like it!

Plus, you can rest easy knowing that whenever hole in one insurance is purchased through Hole In One International, we automatically include up to 4 smaller auxiliary prizes for all players to shoot for (shootouts excluded).  That gives you extra chances at acing a hole during your tournament!

But what about the odds of two people making it on the same hole?  Or better yet, back-to-back hole in ones?

Those are even more astounding: 32,000 to 1 and 156,250,000 to 1, respectively.

Have any other questions about the odds?  Give us a call at 800-827-2249 or email us!

Congratulations to Kirk Triplett!

Kirk Triplett, the three-time PGA Tour winner and one of the owners of Hole In One International, has done it again!  This past Sunday (August 28, 2011), Triplett emerged victorious from the News Sentinel Open in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Triplett won the tournament and picked up a $90,000 purse after hitting two birdies in a row on holes 13 & 14, which put him at a score of 21-under.   This victory officially made Triplett the oldest winner in Nationwide Tour history — wow!  Good to know he’s still got it!

Congratulations, Kirk Triplett, from all of us here at Hole In One International!
