Just how rare is a hole in one? Not as rare as you’d think. On a par 3 hole, an average golfer has roughly a 12,500-to-1 shot at an ace. Not bad, when you consider other odds, such as:
- Being struck by lightning this year — a million-to-1 shot
- Winning the Powerball jackpot — 1 in 175 million
So the moral of this story is that even us amateurs, with our awkward, not-quite-ready-for-the-PGA swings have a realistic chance of dropping it in the hole-in-one shot.
That should be reason enough to purchase Special Event coverage for your hole-in-one contests. Special Event Award coverage pays the winning prize amount for large cash contests, like hole-in-one events.
SECURA offers coverage for hole-in-one contests, as well as many other special events that fill our summers, such as farmers markets, arts and crafts shows, tractor pulls, and more. Check with your insurance agent to see if your event is covered.
