Putting Contest Winner Nails 94-Foot Putt, Wins $10K

brian porter - putting contest winnerBuies Creek, N.C. — We have a new putting contest winner! At Campbell University, it’s not just the Men’s Golf Team that knows how to sink amazing putts.

This February, Brian Porter of Raleigh nailed an impressive 94-foot putt, winning himself $10,000, courtesy of Campbell University, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Porter, who was selected at random during a media time-out break, stated it had been months since he had played golf, and joked that he was, not only “Excited, but, really glad I didn’t have a heart attack”, after realizing that he had sunk the prize winning on-court putt.

Are you interested in giving your customers or fans the heart-pounding thrill of a lifetime? A big prize putt, whether at a golf tournament, store, event, or at your next basketball game, is always a big crowd pleaser.

Golf Shootout Promotion Insured by TV Station: Text, Watch & Win

golf shootout promotion - FOX 29

Looking for an innovative way to drive tune-in? Want to highlight your participation in a golf event or help raise money for a good cause? Give your audience the chance to win big this summer with a 50/50 golf shootout promotion.

golf shootout promotion - 2

This February during the Honda Classic, Fox 29 WFLX gave three lucky viewers the chance to win $500K for themselves and $500K for charity, in a million-dollar Text, Watch and Win Hole In One Contest. Daily during the contest qualification period, viewers were prompted to text a secret word, which was revealed during the morning news, for their chance to win prizes. Lucky finalists not only received a Honda Classic Party 4-pack, they were also entered for a chance to participate in the charity golf shoot-out. While no one aced the shot, the golf shootout promotion was an effective way for the station to maximize its visibility throughout the tournament and engage both station viewers and golf fans. (Check out the station’s on-air prompt and the lucky finalist’s shots at the link below.)

While you may not have a PGA golf event headed to your town, a 50/50 shootout can easily be adapted to highlight your station’s sponsorship or participation in any charity golf event. Or, you can build a similar promotion as part of a sponsorship package for a local golf shop, golf resort or golf course.

Golf Ball Drop Promotion: Casino Contest Idea

Million-Dollar Golf Ball Drop Promotion

Are you looking for a truly attention-grabbing summer promotion? How about a golf ball drop promotion? Imagine giving your players the chance to win a million dollars and all you have to do is drop the ball. Well actually, 500 balls – more or less. Here’s how.

Last summer a New York racino gave qualified players the chance to win $1,000,000 in a million dollar golf ball drop. Guests could enter once per day during the qualification period (but you can always have players earn additional entries based on points, etc.). Then, a few days before the big drop, the facility randomly selected 500 entries and assigned each one their very own numbered golf ball.

On the appointed day, staff at the property dropped the balls from the top of a fire truck ladder onto a target placed on the infield of the racetrack. If the lucky ball(s) that fell closest to the target “hole” were one of the preselected Lucky Balls, the owner of that ball would instantly win $1,000,000 paid for by Odds On. To ensure a successful golf ball drop promotion the racino gave the person who came closest a guaranteed prize of $5,000.

While this NY property opted to drop golf balls, you could run this promotion anywhere – and drop just about anything – including promotional chips, gold medals, baseballs, or even, tiny shoes. Don’t have access to a fire truck? Partner with the local cable company (bucket truck), a hot air balloon ride company, or even your local news station (traffic helicopter). And don’t feel you need to stick with 500. You could drop more balls, less balls and have as many potential winners as you’d like.
