Vancouver, BC
– Furry Creek Golf and Country Club is proud to be the
first location to have $10,000 awarded for a hole-in-one in GPS
Industries’ Fire at the Flag™
contest. Carolyn Emo from Maple Ridge, who has been
golfing for over 35 years, came to the 8th tee on August 20, 2006,
paid $10 to enter the contest and with one swing made her first
ever hole-in-one! “I was in total shock. I dropped my club and fell to
my knees. I was blown away to get my first hole-in-one. My friends
then started screaming that I won $10,000.00! It was too much to
take in all at once. I couldn't wait to call my Dad as most of my
family plays golf!” exclaimed Carolyn. She
added that she will spend her winnings first by taking her playing
partners out for a nice dinner, pay some bills and follow that up
with a holiday.
The Fire at the Flag™ contest adds a unique and
obviously rewarding element to the experience at Furry Creek.
”Those who enter the contest and score a
hole-in-one instantly win $10,000 or $25,000 and then qualify for a
trip to Orlando Florida in January for a shot at a $1,000,000
jackpot” says Michael Zuccolin, General Manager of
Furry Creek. “Even if you don’t make an
ace, we still award a prize for hitting the green in regulation.
What’s really great is a portion of every entry fee is
donated to support Junior Golf in British Columbia.
It’s been a great success so far for all parties
involved” adds Zuccolin.
“We wish Carolyn every bit of success when she
travels to Florida. This is already a great story, but
it will be even more amazing if she can find one more magical swing
and win a $1,000,000” says Zuccolin.
Furry Creek runs the Fire at the Flag™ contest most
days but please inquire with the Golf Course for specific dates.
