Want a shot at $1 million?
A nine-day fundraising contest organized by the Psalm 23 Society starts at the 108 Golf Resort on July 11.
To enter, golfers can pay $10 for 12 balls, $20 for 30 or $50 for 100 balls and shoot for a hole in one or closest to the pin at a distance of approximately 95 yards at the driving range at the 108 Golf Resort. Some of the top participants each day will qualify for the quarter-finals, with top shooters moving on to the semifinals and eventually the finals on July 20 where $10,000, $100,000 and $1 million cash prizes respectively can be claimed with a hole-in-one.
Marvin Declare is the executive director of Psalm 23, which operates an addiction recovery centre at 93 Mile on Highway 97.
He says the contest, on top of being a big draw for huge money and a major fundraiser for his organization, is also about connecting with the community.
“Each year, we build more relationships and grow the ones we have. [Participants will be] supporting people who are struggling with their lives and giving them a new opportunity. We appreciate the community's support.”
The contest starts with a number of qualifying days, challenges and prizes.
The more you play, the better your chances, says Declare.
“You don't have to be a golfer to get a lucky shot or to get it close.”
