Hole-in-One Prizes Without the Insurance Headache
Finally, a hole-in-one prize that actually works for your tournament.
The Problem With Traditional Hole-in-One Insurance
Here's how it usually works: a tournament organizer pays an upfront insurance premium for a hole-in-one prize. Sounds simple enough. But when someone actually makes a hole-in-one, the real trouble begins.
The organizer files a claim with the insurance company. Then the insurer starts looking for reasons to deny it. Was there a camera recording the shot? Was the yardage measured correctly? Was the right type of witness present? Was the hole set up exactly per the policy's requirements?
These requirements are often buried in fine print that nobody reads until it's too late. We've heard from organizers who were told their winner's shot didn't count because they didn't have a video camera positioned at the hole — a requirement hidden in the terms and conditions.
One organizer told us: "I'll never use a hole-in-one prize again." All because the insurance company found a technicality to deny the claim.
How HGA Golf's Model Works Instead
HGA Golf is a prize provider, not an insurance company. You purchase a flat-fee prize package. If someone makes a hole-in-one during your tournament, HGA books the trip directly. No claim process. No underwriting review. No fine print surprises.
It's that simple. You pay $449 or $649. If someone wins, they get an incredible trip. If nobody wins, you promoted an exciting contest that added energy to your event.
