Shawn Higgins, ASGA Vice-President and Hole-in-One Chairman, will be setting up a sign-up at Jimmy Clay on Tuesday to allow members to sign up for the new contest. Members can just leave their name and $5 to be eligible for the money prize.
Following Ken Garrett's Hole-in-One at Jimmy Clay two weeks ago, the sign-up process began again at Lions last week where many of the ASGA members took advantage of the new process and signed up. The money continues to grow as more and more members seek to win the new pot.
It should be noted that under Higgins' guidance, the ASGA Boards has approved two changes to the rules for the Hole-in-One contest. Change number one is that only par three holes will be considered for the Hole-in-One contest. The second change deals with the number of witnesses. As of now you will only need one witness to the hole-in-one besides the player who accomplishes the feat.
The number of witnesses in a couple of cases in the past has prevented a win and in some of those instances caused by the group being made up of only one team of two individuals. It was felt that to be fair and with the knowledge that our group is honest, that one witness besides the scorer of the hole-in-one would be enough.
However, the number one reason members have not won the prize in our tournaments has been they did not sign up. So sign up. It is up to you!
