One price · $200 a month

The Shootout · what the day is

One green. Five rounds.
Everybody watching.

Most golf, the best shot you hit all year happens with nobody there to see it. Not this one. Fifty players, a gallery on the hill behind the green, music going, and every single swing in front of all of them.

  1. Round 1 2 shots each · 120 yd men · 100 yd women
    50 players

    25 advance

  2. Round 2 2 shots each · 140 yd men · 120 yd women
    25 players

    10 advance

  3. Round 3 1 shot · 160 yd men · 140 yd women
    10 players

    5 advance

  4. Round 4 1 shot · 160 yd men · 140 yd women
    5 players

    2 advance

  5. Round 5 1 shot · 160 yd men · 140 yd women
    2 players

    One shot each for $5,000

  6. The winner Closest to the pin, and it is over
    1 player

    Takes $5,000 — $4,000 of it cash, in hand the same day.

The payout

Ten of the fifty get paid.

1st $5,000 $4,000 cash + $1,000 shop credit
2nd – 5th $250 $250 shop credit, each
6th – 10th $100 $100 shop credit, each
Total prize pool $6,500 — $4,000 cash, $2,500 shop credit
Live music, all day

Playing from the first swing of the day to the last. A golf event that sounds like a party, because that is what it is.

Food and drink, on us

A high-end food truck by the green, and premium seating to watch the action from.

$6,500 on the line

$5,000 to the winner — $4,000 of it cash, paid the same day. Ten of the fifty get paid, so this is not winner-take-all.

Champagne spray on the podium

Top three, corks out, in front of the whole gallery. Somebody is going home with a photograph they keep.

You do not have to be a good golfer to win this.
You have to be good once.

That is the whole design. Round one is a wedge. The last round is a mid-iron. Somewhere in between, fifty people find out who can hit one shot when it actually counts — and everyone is watching.

Who reviews your swing

Chris Boyle.

Chris is an active Class A PGA Professional in the Illinois Section, with tournament experience across several tours. He has taught at a number of clubs and training facilities, most notably the Sea Island Golf Performance Center. His TPI Level 2 fitness certification is the reason the coaching here treats the body and the swing as the same problem — because for most players they are.
