A skilled player clearly has a greater chance of achieving a hole-in-one than a high handicap player. Consequently, Rule 3-2b of the Rules of Amateur Status provides that an amateur golfer must not accept a prize for a hole-in-one which has a retail value in excess of £500 or the local equivalent (or such a lesser figure as decided by the Governing Body). However, a prize within this limit may be accepted in addition to any other prize won in the same competition.
a 2009-04-17 13:37:31 A common example of an improper prize offered for achieving a hole-in-one is a car. If an amateur golfer wins such a prize he must make the choice between accepting the prize causing forfeiture of Amateur Status or refusing the prize enabling him to retain his Amateur Status. It is important to note that, in such cases where a player accepts an improper prize and subsequently applies for reinstatement he may be required to serve a period of up to two years awaiting reinstatement. The Amateur Status Committee of The R&A takes the view that an amateur golfer should not be put in the awkward and embarrassing position of having to make such a choice. Therefore, the Committee is strongly opposed to the offering of excessive prizes for holes-in-one.
