Billings Golfers: The Tumbleweed Hole-in-One Contest Sounds Like a Blast

I am not a good golfer. At all. I think I played once last year and haven't hit a bucket of balls yet this spring. Occasionally, I'll chip one around in my yard, drinking beers and hoping (on a 50/50 chance) that my dog will retrieve it.

That said, I do enjoy the game, and a hole-in-one contest is right up my alley. I feel like Hole-in-One challenges are fun for golfers of all abilities, and the upcoming Tumbleweed Hole-in-One Shootout sounds like a fantastic time. It's on July 11th at Eagle Rock.

The event, presented by Western Security Bank, is from 6 PM to 9 PM.

Golfers buy 10 shots for $20 to attempt a hole-in-one. If you do, you win $10,000. Making things even more fun, the hole will be on a floating island on the pond by the 18th green.

Tumbleweeds Hole-in-One Challenge will have food trucks, music, beverages, and, I would assume, other raffles and chances to win prizes. Spectators, sponsors, and supporters of Tumbleweed are expected on the grounds, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Even if you're not a great golfer, this seems like a really good time. It's not a big commitment, you don't have to stress about letting your teammates down, Eagle Rock has a sweet patio, and it's all for a great cause.
