A vehicle is among the top prizes that clients wish to insure at Foresite Sports. While we work with a lot of car dealerships in the nation, we also get a lot of calls from tournament directors that want to insure a car, truck or motorcycle and have no clue where to start. One of the three factors needed to get a hole in one insurance quote is the value of the prize, so first step when is to know an estimated value of the car or motorcycle (you can even look on the manufacturer’s website). This way you can get an idea of the price range of your contest insurance.

If you want the car visible to the golfers at the course that day then you will have to work with a local dealer in your area. From the dealer you will be able to determine the exact value that you will be insuring so you will be able to fill out the hole in one insurance application and get coverage in place. From Foresite Sports you will receive a Hole In One Insurance Certificate of Participation that states that you are fully covered, most dealers will want a copy of this before they bring the car to the course.

If you are getting the coverage in place last minute you can always insure a car or motorcycle solely based on the estimated value. In the case of a winner the check would be made out based on that amount and the winner can choose what to buy with the money. Foresite Sports offers sample prices of a Harley Davidson and various vehicles based on your budget.

Need something to add to your golf tournament that will really get your golfers excited to play? A putting contest insurance is a great way to end the tournament with a chance to win a big prize just by simply sinking a putt! Foresite Sports primarily provides hole in one insurance for golf tournaments all over the country however the putting contest has become more and more popular with our customers.

The odds of a putting contest are roughly 1 in 30 (the hole in one odds of 1 in 12,500) so the putting contest insurance is not designed for all the golfers in the event like the hole in one insurance contest is however with better odds like that, people will definitely want to be a part of this contest. The putting contest is a great way to add a fundraising element to your tournament, people can buy raffle tickets for a chance to putt, then when the tournament is over the tournament director would pick one or two lucky names for the chance to putt.

There are two types of putting contests offered by Foresite Sports. The first is the standard putt that can be insured at either 40 or 50 feet for any value up to $25,000. Also depending on your budget this putting contest can be done with multiple participants. The second type of putting contests is an “add on” that is purchased along with a hole in one insurance contest. The add on putting contest is 60 feet and the prize values are $2,500, $5,000 or $10,000. Since the add on putting contest has a discounted rates it is only for one person from the tournament. Both putting contests have to be part of a golf tournament and need to be videotaped.

March is here and that means the most exciting college basketball championship tournament will be held. 67 teams will be entered into this years March Madness NCAA tournament and one will be name champion and be crowned the best team in college basketball. The tournament will start March 13^th and run till the first weekend in April. All of the teams will be glued to the television set on March 11^th when the teams are revealed however the following day is when the fun starts for the fans and viewers. National Bracket Day is when people all over the country will form their bracket to determine who they think will win this year’s tournament! While most bracket pools will just consist of some friends throwing in a couple dollars to play, why not make it a bigger event and host a March Madness Bracket Promotion from Foresite Sports and give your clients, co-workers, or friends the chance to win big!

Once you get your group together give us a call and let us know how many brackets you will be submitting and how much you want to insure the grand prize for. From there your contest insurance consultant will give a quote and send you over a contract. Foresite Sports needs a copy of all the brackets prior to the start of the tournament to guarantee no changes were made after the tournament starts.

Company holiday parties are right around the corner so keep in mind that running a contest with Foresite Sports is a great way to give back to your employees. Bowling alley’s are at the top of companies lists for company party locations, they have a run atmosphere and offer the appropriate amount of space to have a great time whether you bowl or not! Bowling is also a great sport just to have fun with, when you go bowling you will have employees with all levels of skill which only adds to the fun of it!

Foresite Sports has two bowling promotions that are perfect to liven up any company bowling party. The contests are tasks that any one would be familiar with, the 7-10 split and the perfect game. Depending on how many people you want to participate in the promotion either can be catered to you needs. The 7-10 split has a little better odds, the best way to run this contest is to select a few employees out of the group to participate. A great way to select is to take the top performers from the past year, for example take the top 2 people from each of your 5 divisions allowing 10 total contestants. Between rounds take those ten people to one lane and see if they can make a 7-10 split with their co-workers cheering them on! The second promotion the perfect game is a little tougher however that does mean that it is perfect for everyone at your party to participate. This promotion would be done during your designated time on the lanes so no extra time is needed. This keeps a good competitive spirit among you co- workers while still having them cheer on one another to bowl at strike!

After purchasing a hole in one insurance, putting insurance, or shootout insurance, making sure you know the witness requirements for each of the contests is an important factor to making your hole in one insurance policy a success! It is very important as a tournament organizer to read and understand all the terms and condition because they will vary between the different contests.

The hole in one insurance witness requirements are dependent on the prize value you are insuring. For most prizes (under $60,000) you will need to have one person who will be stationed at the hole who is over the age of 18 and not playing in the tournament. This person needs to be stationed so they can clearly see the players teeing off and the ball going in the hole. For prize values between $60,000 and $100,000, the requirement increases to two non playing individuals and for anything over $100,000, two non playing individuals are required one being a pro or a police officer. At this prize level all shots will also have to be videotaped.

For a putting contest no matter what prize value you are giving away, it must be videotaped. The video must include the measurement of the putt as well as the person taking it. In addition to the videotape you are required to have one additional witness for prize vales up to $10,000 and two witnesses for any value over that. Shootout contest also always have to be videotaped, this videotape works best set up behind the hole so you can get the golfer and green in the same shot. Since shootouts are typically done with high prize values over $100,000, they also need two people to witness, one being the pro or police officer. Please review all terms and conditions before running any of the contests.

Something that happens often is a lack of sign ups. For example, a company may be hosting their annual golf tournament. While you and some of the other top executives are excited about the event, you are struggling to get others interested. You decide it may be time to offer something a bit more tempting to them, to draw them in to the event and to keep them there for whatever reason you have. A putting contest insurance is a great way to do this.

One question that is often asked is about the amount of advance notice Foresite Sports needs to have in order to provide this type of putting contest insurance to cover out the tournament. The good news is that flexibility is just part of the job here.

When you contact the company today, you will learn what the cost of obtaining putting insurance will be and you will receive an application. Fax that application back and it takes just a few days after that to get everything set up. You will receive a Certificate of Participation, which is your signal that you are in fact covered for your putting contest. If you need something done sooner, let us know.

Let’s say things change right up until your tournament. The grand prize you are offering has helped you to get many more signups than you thought. What can you do? The good news is that you can contact Foresite Sports right up until that first putter gets started to add a new person to the list.

So you’re faced with a daunting tee shot on a tough par-3. What’s your strategy? How do you go about it? Can you do it? Well of course you can. Foresite Sports is here to give you some quick tips on how to hit drives with laser-like accuracy.

Before you even hit your drive take note of the tee box. A lot of courses today have tee boxes that aren’t directly aligned with the fairway. Some actually are angled so make sure that you take note of this. This first step is as important as hole-in-one insurance is to Foresite Sports. There’s no point in even teeing the ball up without going through this step. Next you must survey the hole. Which side of the hole is the best side to miss? Ask yourself what the wind is doing?

Now you must play to your strengths. If you like to fade or draw the ball there are some slight adjustments that you can make when playing in the wind. All you have to do is adjust accordingly. For example if you are a right hander playing in a right to left wind and you like to:

1. draw the ball – make sure that you aim a little right and try not to release the club fully as the wind will exaggerate your normal ball flight and make the ball dive left. Feel as if you hold off your shot. That way the ball won’t be affected as much.
2. fade the ball – make sure that you take extra club as your normal ball flight will fight the wind instead of riding it. Aim a touch right of your target but not as much as someone who draws the ball would. Your ball will start off straight , fade in the air , and then fall to the left as the wind gets a hold of it

Now if you’re left –handed you do the opposite. Hopefully if you execute these steps well you could win a hole in one prize, courtesy of Foresite Sports. We are the best out there when it comes to providing quality hole in one insurance so give us a try!

If your event needs to make some additional money, consider adding Foresite Sports’ putting contest to your tournament package.

• They will then get to attempt a single 40 or 50 foot putt. They are playing for the grand prize.
