A hole-in-one is not considered to be purely a “lucky shot” and it is not similar to a lottery. A skilled
player clearly has a greater chance of achieving a hole-in-one than a high handicap player.
Consequently, Rule 3-2b of the Rules of Amateur Status provides that an amateur golfer must not
accept a prize for a hole-in-one which has a retail value in excess of £500 or the local equivalent (or
such a lesser figure as decided by the Governing Body). However, a prize within this limit may be
accepted in addition to any other prize won in the same competition. |

A common example of an improper prize offered for achieving a hole-in-one is a car. If an amateur
golfer wins such a prize he must make the choice between accepting the prize causing forfeiture of
Amateur Status or refusing the prize enabling him to retain his Amateur Status. It is important to
note that, in such cases where a player accepts an improper prize and subsequently applies for
reinstatement he may be required to serve a period of up to two years awaiting reinstatement.
The Amateur Status Committee of The R&A takes the view that an amateur golfer should not be
put in the awkward and embarrassing position of having to make such a choice. Therefore, the
Committee is strongly opposed to the offering of excessive prizes for holes-in-one. |
