The IRS requirement is that a 1099-Misc be issued for all prizes or awards that are $600.00 or more. A multiple winner will exceed this threshold. The men who have transferred their $10 to the new Hole-in-One Club will be credited with making two (2) $5 contributions. After the first valid hole-in-one under these rules, all Members, except the men who had $10 transferred to the pot, will be charged $5.

b. There must be at least one witness who will certify to the hole-in-one.
c. A hole-in-one will be valid in a scramble competition.

Adopt a Hole Program
The adopt a hole program is designed to allow members that are interested the opportunity to provide additional care for a hole on either the Persimmon or Ironwood golf course. This program has been very successful in years past and with the growth of the membership, it has the potential of being a great asset to the two golf courses.
The program is a completely optional, and for those that decide to participate, the main areas of concentration will be filling divots in the fairways and repairing ball marks on the green.
The sign-up sheets will be located in their respected golf shop and multiple members can sign-up for the same hole if they would like.
