A $1 million hole in one shoot out is the latest addition to the Bryant Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament sponsored by Landers Auto Group of Saline County on Tuesday, June 30, at Hurricane Golf Course. Sean ‘The Beast” Fister, three time World Long Drive Champion, will make an appearance to encourage golfers and answer questions.
After the scramble portion of the golf tournament is completed all interested participants will go to Hole Six where the opportunity for the $1 million hole in one will occur. Five participant’s names will be pulled at random and all five will get one shot at the $1 million hole in one.
Funds from the tournament will go to Chamber operations and will help to fund additional Christmas banners if a certain goal is met.[more]
“Our ‘Find it in Bryant’ campaign to promote buying locally was a huge success funded partially by last year’s tournament. Our funds this year will go into the Chamber operating budget for other such efforts that promote our local businesses,” noted Golf Chairperson Jack Carney of First Security Bank.
“Then, if we raise more than that, we will provide a sponsorship for the Five State Babe Ruth 14 year old tournament to be played here in August and add to our Christmas banners,” added Carney.
“We want everyone to know how they are contributing to the growth of this community by supporting the Bryant Area Chamber of Commerce tournament,” Carney said.
