Five golfers will have a chance to win a million dollars by hitting a hole-in-one on Oct. 30 at the FarGolf Driving Range in Vidalia.

The event is a fundraiser for Sunshine Shelter and other charities which benefit from FarGolf.

This event is open to Amateur golfers only. Registration forms are available at the event location FarGolf, Inc. Driving Range, 250 Logan Sewell Drive (Hwy 3180) Vidalia, LA.

To qualify for the semifnals Shootout, contestants must hit a Driving Range golf ball and have it remain within a five (5) foot circle from a distance of 118-120 yards.

Qualifying shots will cost $1.00 each. Contestants may purchase an entire bucket of 51 golf balls for $51.00 if they so choose.

Each day, contestants may purchase as many qualifying shots as they need to qualify.

Each contestant may qualify for a maximum of three shots for the semi-finals shootout.

Tees may be used for all shots in all events. If the ball comes to rest touching the line it will be considered within the five foot circle.

All qualifying shots must be witnessed, verified, and recorded by Event Personnel.

Distances from the hole will be measured by designated event personnel only. Golfers will not be allowed on the range to witness any measurements at any time.
