One swing.
Ten thousand dollars.
A $10,000 hole-in-one challenge is coming to Central Coast courses. Twenty dollars a shot, a new putter up for grabs, and a local charity winning every time someone plays.
Bringing $10,000 to the Central Coast
FOLDS of HONORThree steps to the shot of your life.
It's part of the round you're already playing. When you reach the designated hole, put $20 down and take your swing at the $10,000.
Reach the designated hole, pay $20
When your round brings you to the designated hole, twenty dollars gets you one shot at the ace, a keepsake to take home, and an entry to win a TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter.
Take your swing
One ball, one hole-in-one, captured on camera and confirmed by our staff. Land it and you're paid $10,000 on the spot, with no strings and no waiting.
Everybody wins
A share of every entry goes to a local charity the course chooses. Ace or not, your twenty bucks did some good on the way through.
One swing from a $10,000 payday.
Most golfers never get a real shot at an ace worth chasing. We're setting one up on a par-3 near you, and handing you the ball.
Land it, and you're on the board forever.
A hole-in-one is rare, so every one earns its place here: name, course, and date. The board's empty right now. Someone's about to change that.

Real people behind the Challenge.
Who we are
Dan Desiderio and Eli Harris are two Central Coast natives who teamed up to bring something new to local golf.
What we do
Dan's an operations guy at heart, having run operations for companies from ecommerce to construction. Golf runs in his blood: his dad has spent three decades as a superintendent at courses across Central and Southern California, so Dan grew up on the course long before he built a career off it. Eli has built a couple of energy-efficiency companies from the ground up, and he's passionate about sports and about teaching entrepreneurship to the next generation here at home.
Our Central Coast roots
Both born and raised here, we know these courses, these communities, and what makes local golf special. We built the Challenge to give something back to it.
Bring the Challenge to your course.
It costs you nothing and risks nothing. We bring the setup, staff it, and fund the prize. You and a local charity share every entry, and your golfers get an experience they'll be talking about at the 19th hole.
- $A share of every entry: real revenue for hosting, at no cost to your team.
- ◆Zero risk on the prize: we fund and run it; you're never on the hook for a payout.
- ◎A built-in charity story: a slice of every entry goes to a local cause you pick.
Let's talk.
