In Louisville, spring fever goes hand-in-hand with Derby Fever. This year, the Kentucky Derby Festival Fifth Third Bank Million Dollar Hole-In-One Golf Contest will benefit Metro United Way!
Where: Water Tower – River Rd. & Zorn Ave.
Finals: April 27th 6PM at Seneca Gold Course, Hole #8
2010 marks the 21st year for this event that has quickly become one of the “anchor” events of the Derby Festival. Over 60,000 shots were taken last year to qualify for a chance to advance to the final round and the MILLION. Again this year, there will be 53 available Finalist positions for the final round. The 2010 Finals are on April 27th at Hole # 8 at Seneca Golf Course.
They keep trying to give the money away! After 20 years, the $1 million prize is still up for grabs in the finals of the Fifth Third Bank $1 Millon Dollar Hole-In-One Golf Contest. Anyone from beginners to scratch golfers can take a shot. There are great prizes just for qualifying and if no one gets the million, they can still walk away with a terrific First Prize.
Preliminaries are held for 9 days at the Water Tower on River Road. This year’s challenge begins Thursday, April 15, 2010 and runs thru Sunday, April 25. The Hole-In-One is open daily. (See above for scheduled times.) Each golf ball is only $1. Get 5 FREE golf balls with the purchase of a $5 Pegasus Pin at the event.
NEW IN 2010 All hole-in-ones during preliminaries will receive $53. In addition, Metro United Way is the new charitable partner of the event. All participants who donate $5 to Metro United Way when they purchase their golf balls will receive $153 if they get a Hole-In-0ne (on the day of their donation).
