Rules
- The first person to hit a hole-in-one wins the $5,000 prize. Any additional hole-in-ones after that will receive $500 each, with a maximum of 10 winners total.
- There is no limit to the number of Chipping Contest winners, but each person can only win one prize.

- Shot Requirements: All participants must use the clubs and balls provided by Fairchild, which conform to USGA standards. Shots must be taken from the designated tee box without exception.
- Multiple Attempts (Optional):
You may buy multiple tickets for the Hole-in-One Contest. Each ticket gives you two shots, but you can only win once. - Witness & Verification: All attempts will be witnessed by an independent official. For a shot to count, the ball must remain in the hole. If the ball bounces out, it is not considered a valid hole-in-one.
- Disqualification Criteria: Participants will be disqualified for tampering with witnesses, using any equipment not supplied by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, or failing to disclose PGA membership or professional teaching status.
