Nuevo Vallarta - Paradise Village's El Tigre Golf & Country Club is celebrating its "5th Anniversary Tournament" aptly named "Amigos de El Tigre" on Saturday, June 16th beginning at 9 am.
A very special prize can be won worth $220,000 USD if a player makes a hole in one on a designated Par 3 hole. That special prize is a furnished one bedroom, one bath condominium at the Grand Villas Nuevo Vallarta, thus also giving the tournament the name of "The $220,000 Dollars Challenge."
The format of the one-day event is a scramble tournament. A scramble format has each of the foursome drive the ball. The team then picks the best drive, and all four players hit their next shot from the same spot.
The same is done with each shot, even on the green, so everyone has the chance to be a hero with just one great shot. Scores in scramble tournament are obviously very low, and it will take a superb score to win at El Tigre.
Although it is doubtful that someone will win the condo, there are prizes for the first, second and third place finishers. Other competitions will be "closest to the pin," "longest drive" and "team gross."
The cost is $1500 pesos + 15% for members of the club and $2000 pesos + 15% for non-members. This will cover the green fees, a welcome kit that will include an Ashworth polo shirt / cap / cap clip, an open bar with domestic drinks and a lunch buffet with the award presentation.
Also available to those participating is a 50% off coupon for any spa treatments at the Spa Hacienda del Paraiso. Other prizes to be given away are: memberships at the El Tigre Sports Center, dinners, massages, and other gift certificates.
For more information or to register, call 297-0773. Who knows? Someone might get real lucky and win the $220,000 condo. All the ball has to do is land on the green and roll into the cup...
