Size of the Jackpot

• Any jackpot will start at $1000.
• When a jackpot reaches $3000 a second draw allows a second person to putt for $250 club cash, only when the person putting for the main prize misses. There is no $50 club cash prize for the second putt.
• When the jackpot reaches $5000 a second jackpot is started and this becomes the second putt. The first putt is for the first jackpot and the second person is putting for the second lesser jackpot.
• When two jackpots reach $5000 the club will run a ‘must go’ night. Rules for this are determined prior to the night but one Jackpot must go off that night.

Rules for Jackpot Night

• The two names are draw as per normal.
• Only after the two putts have missed does this next step happen.
• 9 people are drawn, and they get to choose a number between 2 and 10. This represents the distance they putt.
• The 1^st person drawn gets to choose the distance they want to putt.
• Once 9 people are drawn the putting commence from pre market positions on the green.
• The furtherest putts go first. (E.g. the first person draw chooses the shortest distance as its easier. However they rely on everyone else missing before they get to putt).
• If the putt still isn’t sunk we continue to draw people who will putt from 2mtr until it goes off.

 

Additional Notes

• The club may update or vary these rules at any time.
