Car dealer welches on hole in one offer

They finally gave it to him?

The closest I ever got to a hole-in-one (I think), was on a hole with the same promotion... New Car if you ace the hole. You had to pay $1, me and my friend each did. We had to wait a few minutes to tee off, guys still on the green. Meanwhile the 2 guys playing behind us sauntered up to the tee, to wait behind us.

I hit a 4 iron, 176 yard hole. The ball was barely struck before the other guys whooped and hollered. I wondered why the excitement, I had forgot about the hole-in-one deal. Anyway, the ball was all over the pin, as they say. Hit about 3 feet short of the pin, and rolled 5 feet past.

And no, I didn't Birdie, God Damn it. The putt was straight downhill, I barely tapped it, and it rolled 2 feet past. The laws of physics precluded a Birdie.

I did get a brand new sleeve of 3 golf balls, for hitting the green. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

BTW, that also describes my first two sexual experiences in high school!

Why would you play in another event or tourney at
their club - if they cannot be trusted to hand over
a prize... And why perchase a vehicle from the
car dealership that failed to honour a winning wager.

The odds of hitting a hole in one on a specific hole are very low, so the insurance policies for those offerings are very expensive considering the advertising exposure the dealership receives for participating. That last article makes it look like the golf course might be liable if the facts are accurate.
