Valued at $53,595, the truck was highlighted on social media by a country club in Morrilton, Arkansas, in the days that led to the weekend tournament. “Hole-in-one on #10 gets you the keys to this F-150,” the country club said in a Oct. 7 Facebook post. “Thanks to Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton!”
Except the country club and car dealership refuse to hand him over the keys. Clagett is now filing suit against both, with his attorney stating he was cheated out of his prize.

—”Hole in one insurance is not that expensive.”
The first site to show up:
Hole in one insurance rates vary from one company to the next and will depend on a number of different factors, including:
The number of golfers participating in your contest
The yardage of the hole
The cash value of the prizes you want to give away
Typically, the cost of hole in one insurance can vary from $99 to $1,000, however, when considering the savings, hole in one insurance is truly worth it. For example, you can advertise hole in one prizes, trips for two, large cash prizes, and even new cars, while saving thousands of dollars if someone should hit a hole in one.
Methinks its gonna cost the dealer and the CC a whole lot more than 54K if they don’t pony up....
I’d spin up some AC/DC. My friends don’t work dirt cheap, they work free.
Sounds to me the country club went from a $53,595 loss, to $53,595 + x1,000’s in attorney fees. Way to go.
Think again. All they promised him was the keys to the truck. That won't do much for him without the truck and title , so they give him the promised keys.
You notice with the sad state of Journalism that we have to put this disclaimer after everything?
Yup, lots of speculation on this one. My guess is that the CC owner had a casual conversation with the dealership owner involving a few beers and a few shots of bourbon. CC owner mentioned the conversation to the CC PR person who posted on Facebook. The CC owner may not have even known about the FB post. Next thing you know, you have a guy holding his hands out for some keys. Ouch, expensive lesson in authorization and communication.
Dumb Question:
Isn’t this Major Fraud, a Felony to boot??
Is there no District Attorney or Attorney General interested in Prosecuting Major Fraud case in Arkansas??
For sure.
If he were a member of two or more privileged victim groups he’d be driving the truck away as we speak with thousands of apologies.
A couple of times he was given money to improve the course, and that money went somewhere other than improving the course.
And specifically on hole #10. The odds on that have to be minuscule to the point of negative infinity. Add to the reduction of odds that it has to be on hole #10 at Morrilton, Arkansas on a certain day.
Your calculsu should inmclude that there are more than just one par three and a few short par fours where ahole-in-one can happen. I witnessed a hole-in-one on a par four, bu a guy with only one arm nop less! The conditions werre just dry enough to get the extended roll to make the green and drop in the cup.
“the dealership said the truck at the golf course was only there for display and the country club promoted it as a prize without their consent”
Well, if that’s true then the country club is going to have to fork over the truck, or the cash equivalent. Which they should have just done, because now they’re getting a lot more than 50k worth of bad publicity.
Yeah, the article says the dealership didn’t have enough “lead time” to secure the insurance, and they have communications they can produce that show they informed the country club of that. And the country club went ahead with the promotion any way.
With the chip shortage, could it be the truck is not ready for transfer?
I wish I could be on that jury. Clagett would get his truck and a little bit more.
The dealership said they didn’t have time to get the hole-in-one insurance so backed out and told the course that. If they have the paperwork proving that it looks like it’s all on the course.
Think again. All they promised him was the keys to the truck. That won’t do much for him without the truck and title , so they give him the promised keys.
***********************************
Yeah, that’s not going fly in court, unless they find a crooked judge that’s on the board of the country club.
“Isn’t this Major Fraud, a Felony to boot??”
Hmm, wouldn’t fraud have to involve the club taking the golfer’s money?
I suppose you can argue they defrauded him of his $375.00 for the tournament fee, but I don’t know if that is “major fraud”.
