Is a Basketball Special Event in your Future?
While US Hole in One focuses on golf that does not mean other sports are left out. That is where our sister company Interactive Promotions Group comes in. With the upcoming and high-anticipated basketball season just a few months out, you may be thinking about a special basketball event to be hosted by you or your company. Consider half court shots, full court shots or even a three-point shootout as a great way to get your fans into the game.
A promotional contest for basketball is a great way to get people into the game and if there is a winner, you do not have to pay the price of their win. One of the best options you can find is the fan participation contest. Here, your fans compete for a special prize. You select random fans from the crowd. If they have the ability to handle the required shots, they win the prize at hand.
For example, a half court shot, made, wins a grand prize. This is a shot taken from 41 feet 9 inches out. If they sink a short from that point, they win. Even more difficult is the full court shot, taken from 88 feet 9 inches out. This is a less expensive contest, and more challenging for your fans, but it is definitely a way to get people involved!
For those looking for a less expensive option, consider the progressive shots, where they have to beat the clock to win the prize. A 3 point shootout is another option, where they have just 30 seconds to sink five consecutive three pointers to win the grand prize.

What Are The Odds Of Hitting A Hole In One?
A hole in one, also called an ace, is one of those things that are sweet about the game of golf. If you are lucky enough to hit one, no one will ever argue your ability to play the game. However, what are the actual odds of hitting a hole in one on the golf course? It is low considering even those who make golf their career will go without hitting even one in all of those years.
The odds of hitting a hole in one are actually quite low, but they do vary. Still, it may not be as hard to hit as some believe. One of the difficulties in providing an exact figure to determine the actual odds of hitting a hole in one is that there is no ongoing record for how often they are hit.
Still, there are some ways of guessing at the odds. For example, in Golf Digest from 1999, the magazine reported that, "One insurance company puts the PGA Tour pro's chances at 1 in 3756 and an amateur's at 1 in 12,750." Those seem pretty long odds. Hitting two holes in one is a near one time in 1,000,000.
Taking The Chance?
If you are a golf tournament organization, do you really want to take those chances? Even as high as they are, they can hit at any time. A hole in one may seem rare but for those who are offering top prizes for hitting one, it may be best to obtain hole in one insurance before doing so.
