10th Annual Million Dollar Hole-in-One Golf Shootout
To celebrate 10 years, let’s get a hole in one! The South Florida State College (SFSC) Foundation will host its 10th annual Million Dollar Hole-in-One Golf Shootout and $10K Putt Challenge at Sun ‘N Lake Golf Club in Sebring, Fla. Shootout participants will be battling it out at the driving range Thursday-Saturday for the top 12 closest to pin—our leaderboard—and will be asked to come back and try their best to swing for a hole-in-one on Saturday evening on the 18th hole of Deer Run. Putt Challenge participants will advance through qualifications resulting with one finalist given the opportunity to putt for $10,000 Saturday evening at the 18th hole of Deer Run. Event prizes on Saturday for closest-to-pin include awards of $750, $500, $250, and a Pro Shop gift card for the top four golfers closest to the hole who don’t make a hole-in-one.
All golfers are welcome. The cost is $10 for a bag, and you can purchase an unlimited number of bags. As a shootout contest, if you qualify on the leaderboard, are bumped off, or want to better your spot on the leaderboard, you can come back and battle your way back until the close of qualifying rounds on Saturday, Jan. 16 at 4 p.m.
