It All Started When Our Clients Got Burned

"I'll never use a hole-in-one prize again."

— A real tournament organizer, after their winner's hole-in-one was denied because the insurance company required a video camera at the hole. It was buried in the fine print.

After nearly a decade helping organizations raise money through HGA Fundraising, we kept hearing the same horror stories from our nonprofit partners. They'd add a hole-in-one prize to their golf tournament, pay the insurance premium, and then discover — after someone won — that the insurance company had a dozen reasons to deny the claim.

Camera requirements buried in fine print. Specific witness qualifications that weren't disclosed upfront. Yardage measurements that didn't match the policy's specifications. Time-of-day restrictions. Equipment requirements.

The result? Embarrassed organizers. Disappointed winners. And a growing belief that hole-in-one prizes were more trouble than they were worth.

HGA Golf was built to be the opposite of everything wrong with the hole-in-one prize industry. No "get a quote" forms. No hidden rules. No insurance companies deciding whether your winner's shot counts.

We're a prize provider, not an insurer. You pay a flat rate ($449 or $649). If someone makes a hole-in-one, we book their trip. Period. Our booking team handles everything — from destination selection to travel arrangements — so the winner gets an incredible experience and the organizer gets a seamless process.
