In order to give you a quote, we need the number of players, the value of the prize awarded for a hole in one contest, and the yardage of the hole(s) on which it is offered.
1. If you are unsure of the total number of players in your tournament, consider estimating on the high side. If you find you have fewer players than anticipated, you can request a refund after your event.
2. The longer the yardage (of the hole the prize is offered on), the lower the rate.
3. We will cover anything of value. Simply give us the dollar value and a description of the prize you are offering.
4. If your tournament is longer than one day, you must specify if you want coverage for multiple days.
If I get a quote am I covered?
Obtaining a quote online does not bind hole in one event coverage. Payment for your event must be made online by credit card no later than 12:00 midnight the day prior to your event.
Can I purchase coverage online?
Yes. First create a hole in one quote for your event and save it using the Archive feature. The quote can then be reviewed or modified if necessary. Once the quote reflects your final requirements, you may then bind hole in one coverage by credit card payment online -- no later than 12:00 midnight the day prior to your event. NOTE: Any changes to your event coverage must be made before payment is secured by credit card and hole in one coverage is bound.
Can we make changes to our hole in one coverage?
You can make changes to any archived quote that you created. Any changes to your hole in one coverage must be made to your Archived quote before payment is made and hole in one coverage is policed.
What is a round of golf?
We consider one round of golf to be 18 holes of play, with each player taking one shot at each of the 18 holes.
What if we're playing on a 9-hole course?
If you're playing on a 9-hole course, the target hole must be designated by hole number and whether it will be on the front or the back nine holes of play.
What if we're playing more than one day?
Each day's 18 holes of play are considered one round. If your tournament includes two or more days of hole in one promotion or contest, you will need to be sure and designate what day or days the insured prize will be offered.
What is an Association Member?
Golf event coverage through National Hole-In-One Association is provided as a service to its membership. When you obtain golf event coverage through National Hole-In-One Association, you become an Association Member.
What do you mean by Amateur, Club Pro and Touring Pro?
Amateurs play golf for recreation only.
Club Pros teach and/or work at golf courses.
Touring Pros make their living playing golf.
What is an Ace?
An "ace" is a golf hole played in one stroke wherein the ball is holed in accordance with the USGA Rules of Golf.
Do you cover Closest-To-The-Pin prize winners?
No. We award a prize only when the tournament player makes a hole in one during the course of tournament play.
What is a Shot?
A shot is defined as a "stroke" by the USGA Rules of Golf. Only one shot per player per target hole is permitted. No practice shots, mulligan's or substituted shots for other players are permitted.
Can a prize be won hitting a Mulligan?
No. A mulligan is a free shot sometimes given a golfer in informal play when the previous shot was poorly played. Mulligan's are not eligible to win a hole in one prize.
What is Prize Restoration?
We pay for each and every hole in one that is achieved during your event. That means that every participant in a tournament gets a chance to win the prize. In 1998, National Hole-In-One Association coverage provided two players with new Mercedes Benz cars when they aced the target hole in the Carmel Country Club Pro Am. We have also paid out two hole in one prizes in the same tournament of $100,000.
