First Big Golf1Million Winner

One of the biggest challenges facing the Golf1Million team is getting people to believe that Golf1Million is a genuine tournament for amateurs. I understand the caution - the world isn't exactly overflowing with amateur golf tournaments offering all-expenses paid trips to Las Vegas to compete for a $1 million dollar prize - but it's there, it's real, and all you have to do is purchase a limited edition shirt to be in with a shot of going to Las Vegas.

And besides, there are lots of other prizes up for grabs before the tournament kicks-off in September 2015... including this one, which has just been won.

A Round for Two at Augusta - How About It?

Now wouldn't that be a cool prize to give away!

You won't find it on this blog, I'm sorry to say... BUT if you visit the Golf1Million Facebook page, Like and Share the link, then that all-expenses-paid-prize could become a reality.

So... who would you take?

Golfing Gifts for Christmas 2013

Who wants what for Christmas? Who wants what to give the golfer in his/her life?

For years I’ve struggled with presents for my dad. It’s gardening, golf, jumpers and wine. That’s it. I tend to rotate… or at least I used to. He now has enough jumpers to rival Daniel O’Donnell, although they are somewhat more tasteful.

He’s 82 and he’s not the gardening demon that he once was.

That leaves wine and golf… so this year I’ve bought him a book on how to play golf drunk.

Here are five other golfing ideas:

Golf1Million - Amateur Golf's First $1,000,000 Trophy

What would it feel like to stand over a three foot putt, knowing that if you – a mere amateur golfer – sink it a gold trophy worth $1,000,000 is yours? That’s one million dollars in case you doubt all those zeros. There is no other event in world sport with a trophy of this value.

It would be something else wouldn’t it! Not to mention being in Las Vegas, with cameras and hordes of spectators following your every stroke, your every step, your every nervous twitch. In these parts they call that pressure… the kind that the Woods and McIlroys of this world endure every week.

My question is – are you man enough?
