Hole-In-One sponsored by Food 4 Less

Take a Swing at $100,000 Prize and a Mercedes-Benz*

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, golfers of all ages can put their skills to the test and swing the club to try and get the ball over the water and in the hole on McLeod Lake. Each ball costs 50 cents and is shot from a platform 40 yards away. Seven lucky competitors on Friday and Saturday and six on Sunday will be chosen to participate in the final round for the opportunity to win the grand prize.

Those closest to the hole will be asked to come back on Sunday afternoon for the finals. On Sunday afternoon, the top 20 golfers closest to the hole during trials will have one chance to sink a hole-in-one from 90 yards away.

We have been trying to give this money away for years and came within 9 inches once. This just may be the year and you may just be the one! So come on over, give it a swing and have some fun.

 Warm up @ the KWIN booth before you take your shot at the $100,000.

Although Hula Girl Beverages is based in Stockton, California, the idea was created in Hawaii. While dining at Mama’s Fish House on Maui, Billy and Lisa Shawver perused the cocktail menu as Trader Vic’s Mai Tai caught their eye. With the first sip of the legendary drink, an idea flashed through their minds on how they could fulfill a lifelong dream of living and working in Hawaii. By the time they were eating dessert, they had outlined their business plan and named their company Hula Girl Beverages.
They would sell bottled, ready-to-drink, premium tropical rum cocktails that would especially appeal to women. All of the drinks use rum made with Hawaiian molasses from Kauai’s Gay and Robinson sugar plantation. Hula Girl premium cocktails are 20 proof and are available in single bottles, 4 packs, or cases. Their brand features: Bikini Bling (coconut flavor), Moonlight Mai Tai (island fruit flavors), Sunset Sensation (luscious peach flavor), and Wild Wahine (pineapple and melon flavors).
This year we will also be introducing Bud Light Lime’s new Straw-ber-ita!
The hottest drink for the summer!  Bud Light Lime Straw-ber-rita brings together a mix of two favorites – a great strawberry margarita taste with the refreshing twist of Bud Light Lime!  Try one over ice and enjoy the summer!
