1. The object of Capture
The Flag™ (CTF) is to make a hole-in-one or hit your tee
shot as close to the hole as possible on a designated Par 3
at your local golf club. If you hit the closest shot to at your
club, you have “Captured The Flag” and are a CTF
Club Winner™.
2. CTF Events benefit your state's Special Olympics program.
Clubs send all proceeds to their State Special Olympics chapter
(click for link to SO State chapters).
3. Capture The Flag™ will be staged at participating clubs
during specified periods in various regions of the country.
CTF competitions feature various prizes for participants including
Masters® tickets.
4. CTF does not require any special tournament or outing- CTF
seamlessly fits into a regular day play i.e. ladies day, mens
day, mixed event. Clubs simply notify CTF via email or fax of
the day they will stage the event. CTF then provides participating
clubs all necessary collateral materials including a special
CTF flag, CTF tee markers and CTF event posters.
5. All CTF participants, for their $20 entry fee, also receive
a one year subscription to Golf Magazine® ($48 msrp) or
another magazine that CTF and Time Warner will offer (such as
Health®, Ski®, Yachting®, Travel and Leisure®,
etc..). Note: If a participant already subscribes to Golf Magazine®,
they will receive a one year extension to their subscription.
Participants may also aware their subscription to a relative
i.e. grandson, niece, nephew..
6. In addition to entry in the Masters® drawing, every CTF
Club Winner™, also receives a engraved putter from a world-class
manufacture memorializing their great shot. By means of example,
our Florida winners received handcrafted, tour-tested, putters
from Zivot Golf™.
Track record of success: The inaugural CTF Event series pilot
was held in the Spring of 2006. The CTF Club Winners were entered
into a drawing for 2006 Masters® practice-round tickets.
The drawing was conducted at Special Olympics headquarters in
Florida and the winner was drawn by a Special Olympics athlete.
CTF sent the CTF Grand Prize winner, Frank Valinho of Jacksonville
Golf and Country Club and three of his closest friends, to watch
the 2006 Masters' famous Par 3 contest and provided accommodations
for his party at Cuscowilla Golf Club. In the process, CTF raised
more than $10,000 for Special Olympics Florida.
