I just had to write it. Today i holed in one on my local golf course in Kvinesdal Norway. I'm the first that has done it on this fairly new course (3rd season)
It was a 140 m. shot ond pic of the golflane is on the http below (shity pic.)
A golf course in the USA held a tournament and offered a $10,000 prize for a hole in one during tournament play. My brother SOLD THEM AN INSURANCE POLICY for this possibility!!! (I believe Lloyds of London took the action.)
He was still "in" back then. So, I asked him, "Isn't this somehow related to GAMBLING?".
Mustang, it would not be considered gambling because there are certain tournaments where the sponsors put up the car and no monies come out of your pocket to take a 'chance.' It's considered a bonus from the sponsors. I know because I have staged golf tournaments.
Still could be a 'close one to call', Guest. That is especially so with the tendency of the Dubs to 'shoot from the hip'. 'JW justice' gives new meaning to the term 'trumped up charges'.
What I thought was great was that the Insurance Underwriter didnt even blink. "We have a specialist for that. One moment, Ill put you through."
