$100,000 hole in one


Golfers try your luck tomorrow at the West Virginia Golf Association's hole-in-one tournament for your chance to win big - and help YWCA Sojourner's win big too! Should a lucky golfer score a hole-in-one, he or she will pocket $50,000 and the YWCA Sojourner's Shelter for Homeless Women and Families will receive the other $50,000.

The event begins at 5 p.m. on hole No. 17 (approx. 145 yards) on Coonskin Park's par-3 course in Charleston. And not to worry - the course has lights that will illuminate the tee box and green. To enter, golfers must pay $1 and produce one canned food item, which will be donated to YWCA Sojourner's.

The field of contestants will be narrowed down to 10 golfers each hour through a closest-to-the-pin contest. The contest will last three hours, meaning a total of 30 players will shoot for the grand prize of $100,000. The top 10 contestants will also win a VIP golf card - an access pass that allows golfers to play more than 200 of the top golf courses in West Virginia and Virginia.

Come out and try your luck tomorrow (Saturday, December 20) at Coonskin - rain, snow or shine! You'll be helping homeless families in need and may even walk out $50,000 richer! Special thanks to the West Virginia Golf Association for thinking of YWCA Sojourner's and for caring so much about giving back to our community.
