What's this?

Here's a thought. They buy insurance for that.

There is an insurance product "Hole in One" insurance for these things. The conditions you are up against are VERY likely the conditions on the insurance policy.

BUT. That is between the charity and the insurer. You did not sign that agreement. You weren't a party to that. You were a party to the invitation to win the car. Which you did.

You could push the issue. And win. But it would come out of the charity's pocket.

Edit to add: I witnessed the exact same sort of thing, only it was "putt to win". It was an insanely long impossible putt. My friend made it. I can't remember the loophole, but he got screwed too. Thing was, he was one of the sponsors of the charity that bought the same type of policy (now that I think about it, that may well have been the exclusion right there).

He's a big hokie fan (and donor)
