    $ 1 Million Hole-in-one Contest

    I understand that after the Sun Scramble today there was a contest for a few of the participants to try to get a hole-in-One for a million dollars and one of the guys hit the pin and the ball deflected 6 inches away

    The guys heart must have been in his mouth and stopped beating!

    I am sure his wife will always bring up the fact that he was 6 inches "short"..................................... of the cup I mean...............

    The Rogers replay shows it did not hit the pin....... but still came to rest a few inches from the cup.

    No, only because he missed. Had he sunk it, we'd all know him and call him "friend".

    I could think of 1 million reasons alot of people would call that guy friend, and not one has anything to do with golf.

    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I'm thinking about it... It will take a lot of convincing to bring hubby back to where he earned the title of "6 inch short". It's turning out to be a very traumatic experience for him If I can't convince him, I'm sure I can convince some friends to come along and actually put a face next to all of your screen name

    Ah well thank you . Now where do I pick up my prize? I would have rather picked up a million dollar cheque but the response of the Month award will do and the right to tease hubby of being short 6 inches is priceless also!!!

    I would like to answer this, but somehow think it deserves a "true Indio or Hacker" response........................
