Golfers can win a £25,000 car!

We think this is a great idea for a competition - all you have to do is land a hole-in-one and win the keys to a £25,000 Merecedes-Benz!

Sadly, we don't have those skills here (despite being asked to go on many golfing days!) but we wish the organisers all the best because they are raising money for a worthy local cause.

Here is the Press Release:


Golfers can putt their skills to good use to win a car

Keen golfers and non-golfers alike are challenged to produce the drive of their life to get the drive of their life in a novel competition, which will see someone win a brand new Mercedes-Benz worth £25,000.
Organised by the Golftorium, the UK's biggest indoor golf centre, the competition is open to anyone who feels they have what it takes to land a hole-in-one.
The qualifying period takes place between 1 and 15 May, to make the final cut on 22 May. Entry for the qualification is free and participants will be pitching their way to winning the Mercedes-Benz by pitting their skills against the 7th hole at Pebble Beech, which has a famous 100 yard approach to the pin.
To progress to the final, golfers will need to land their chip nearest the pin to make the cut. The 100 finalists will then have the tougher obstacle of landing a hole-in-one at the 14th hole at Harbour Town, which is a highlight of the PGA tour.
The first lucky driver to complete this challenge will pick up the keys to their new vehicle, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Central.
"We are already getting a lot of interest in the competition and while the first shot is free, extra shots will have a small charge,” said Manchester's Golftorium director, Craig Woodward.  “All the money raised is going to a good cause; we are donating the money to a newly formed local charity called HAWCS, the Habitat and Wildlife Conservation Society.
“This is a great opportunity for golfers of any standard to come along and pitch themselves against the competition. Getting a hole-in-one isn't just about skill, there's a great deal of luck involved so it’s anyone’s game!”
Craig added: “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate an achievement like this than driving off in a new Mercedes Benz.  It's a fantastic competition offering the change to win a brilliant prize, have some fun and help charity at the same time."
