Special "Gary Woodland" Albatross Challenge
Named for the alumnus of the University of Kansas who plays professionally on the PGA Tour, here lies the possibility for an albatross — the feat when a player scores three strokes under par on a single hole.
You'll start by taking a "Gary Woodland drive" from the tee as your first "shot" on the par-5 hole #10. Gary averaged 309.9 yards per drive last year on the PGA Tour!
- For $25 per player the "Gary Woodland Drive" leaves you at your second shot 150 yards from the hole. You have one shot at the cup to make the rare albatross.
- For $50 per player, the "Gary Woodland Drive" leaves you at your second shot 100 yards from the hole. ONLY IF you are on the green in TWO strokes, you'll card that second shot as if it went in the hole, as an “albatross” or “double eagle,” and your team score is “2” on this hole.
Your entire team must complete to be eligible and a two-putt maximum rule applies once on green.

- First- second- and third-place best gross score teams overall
