CanadianBall

O Canada…

Our name says it all! For over 30 years, Hole In One International has been providing A+ rated insurance coverage in Canada. Along with affordable hole in one and putting contest coverage,  you’ll also receive ancillary hole in one prizes, complimentary hole in one contest signs and tee markers, and a free golf club for everyone in your event.

How Canadian Hole In One Coverage Works 
With Canadian hole-in-one insurance coverage, from Hole In One International, you can add excitement to your company, charity or golf course tournament by offering valuable, attention-getting hole in one prizes without the risk of a payout.   Hole In One International has been providing golf tournament organizers with A+ rated Canadian hole in one coverage since 1991. We offer hole-in-one prize coverage for anything with a cash value of up to $1,000,000.

From hole-in-one contests to putting contests and even Million Dollar Shootouts, we can do it all! We can even ship your signage there too!  From tee signs to sponsor signs, all you need to do is contact us for shipping costs and we’ll have it at the address specified on your sign order form in plenty of time!  Need a rush shipment?  We’ve got you covered… Hole In One International will get your golf tournament signage delivered before tee-off.

What Does Hole In One Insurance Cost In Canada?
The cost of Canadian hole in one insurance coverage is based on three things: the number of participants in your golf event, the length of the target hole, the cost of the prize that is being giving away. Generally speaking, the bigger the prize, the shorter the distance and the more players you have, the bigger your premium will be.

Keep in mind – all of our prizes are priced out in USD.  Want to advertise your prize in Canadian Dollars?  No problem!  Say you purchased a policy for a $10,000 USD cash prize.  Simply make that conversion to Canadian Dollars and advertise “C$9,908” (or whatever the proper conversion rate happens to be) on your sign!

Have any other questions about insuring a hole in one in Canada?  Feel free to give us a call at 800-827-2249 or email us at any time!

While we see a lot of amazing tournament videos and “hype” packages, we believe this video captures every bit of the fun and excitement that goes along with running a great tournament. It also shows you how adding a putting contest or helicopter golf ball drop not only adds to the tournament experience, but can be an effective way of raising more money for your cause.

Kudos to former NFL Punter and Radio Sports Personality Tim McAfee for hosting what was surely an unforgettably fun day of golf.
