A new concept. A bigger ambition.

Give them a reason
to play. And share.

Preview the experience

A live competition. A $5,000 prize. A golf hole built around your brand. We’re aiming to turn that combination into thousands of participants—and a brand experience people want to pass along.

The campaign target

10,000participants

Playing your brand.
Joining your audience.

Our core ambition for the four-day event. We run the paid social and creator content to introduce the competition, with player sharing creating the potential for wider reach.

The breakout target

30,000participants

When the idea catches on,
your brand goes with it.

The upside we’re chasing if the concept takes off. Creator pickup, community attention and word of mouth could carry your competition well beyond its initial paid audience.

Every signup, instantly in your CRM. An audience to follow up with during the contest and long after the final shot.

Build the connection

Participant targets, not guaranteed attendance. Reaching them depends on creative performance, creator reach and organic sharing. Heckler manages the marketing campaign.

01 / How the competition works

One live contest.
Three shots each.
Four days.

Your brand presents one live, online closest-to-pin tournament that runs for four days. Players join during that window and compete against one another in the same event. Each gets three shots, with their closest shot to the pin counting toward the tournament standings.

The shared competition and $5,000 prize give people a reason to enter before the tournament closes. Your brand is at the center of the event, from their first shot to the offer they receive afterward.

Regulatory & compliance overview

You sponsor it.
We administer it.

Heckler is the promotion operator and administrator. We handle the official rules, compliance management, entry administration, winner verification and prize administration. Your role is the brand sponsor: provide your brand assets, approve the creative and choose your offer.

01 / Free entry

No entry fee. No purchase.

We structure and administer the promotion with no entry fee or purchase required. Your sponsorship funds the experience and prizes; participants enter free.

02 / Skill contest

Three shots. Skill decides.

We administer the three-shot limit, scoring and winner selection. Our official rules define closest-to-pin rankings and skill-based tie-breakers for the top three skill prizes.

03 / Separate sweepstakes

Bonus entries. Never bonus shots.

We manage the separate random draw, its registration entries and any referral or social-visit bonus entries. Those bonuses never add swings or change the skill competition’s three-shot limit.

04 / Eligibility & jurisdictions

The right rules for every entrant.

We define age, residency and geographic eligibility in the official rules. We handle the review of state requirements and any required registration or bonding for the final promotion before launch.

05 / Consent & privacy

Clear permission. Clear data use.

We manage the promotion’s consent flow and privacy disclosures, including separate SMS and joint-brand email permissions, sponsor data sharing, opt-outs and applicable financial-incentive notices. TCPA, CAN-SPAM and state privacy requirements are part of that work.

06 / Responsible promotion

Sharing with the rules in mind.

We run the marketing and manage creator disclosures, referral links and social-visit mechanics. We review platform requirements and FTC endorsement guidance as part of campaign planning and execution.

One team responsible for running the promotion. Heckler manages the rules, entries, participant questions, winner verification and prize administration. Your team stays focused on your brand.
