Employees of Sponsor, participating vendors (if any), their respective parent companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries, and their respective participating advertising, promotions, and public relations agencies as well as members of their families and/or those living in the same household as such individuals are not eligible to enter. The Promotion is (a) governed by these Official Rules, (b) void where prohibited or restricted by law, and (c) subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
You must have access to the Internet, a valid email address, and a free TrackMan account in order to enter the Promotion.
By entering, you agree that you have read and consent to be bound by these Official Rules, and Sponsor’s privacy policy, available at https://www.golfgalaxy.com/s/privacy-policy. Eligibility is conditioned on the acceptance of these Official Rules at time of entry.
2) PROMOTION PERIOD: The Promotion begins on June 7, 2024, at 9:00 AM EST and ends June 9, 2024, at 9:00 PM PST (“Promotion Period”), subject to Participating Stores’ operating hours. Sponsor’s computer is the official Promotion clock.
3) HOW TO ENTER: The Promotion is designed to give eligible entrants the opportunity to win Prizes in accordance with these Official Rules. To enter the Promotion, visit your local Participating Store during operating hours during the Promotion Period and attempt the Closest to the Pin Contest using a TrackMan Golf Simulator while signed into your TrackMan account. Entry into the Promotion is subject to simulator bay availability, which is first come, first served. Limit one (1) entry per person.
4) CLOSEST TO THE PIN CONTEST RULES:
A. Eligibility: To participate in the Promotion, you must have a TrackMan account. TrackMan accounts are free. No forms of cheating or gaining an unfair advantage in any way will be tolerated. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify entrants if there is a reasonable suspicion of cheating or violating these Official Rules, including playing under another person’s TrackMan account or using several TrackMan accounts to enter.
B. Game Play: The Promotion is won by the entrant whose tee shot on the 7th Hole at Pebble Beach comes to rest closest to the hole. To win the competition, the ball must have stopped on the green. Each entrant will have three (3) strokes/attempts per entry – each taken from the tee box, to win. Entrants’ best attempt will count towards their final ranking. Entrants will tee off from the tee box(es) associated with the gender identified in their TrackMan account.
C. Stroke Tracking: Entrants acknowledge and agree that the result of a stroke will be determined solely by the TrackMan simulator software. The Promotion will be played on a TrackMan simulator in accordance with the gameplay settings determined by Sponsor. If a stroke is not tracked by the TrackMan simulator, then entrants may attempt additional strokes until their stroke is tracked. Strokes that are not tracked do not count towards entrant’s attempts. No other mulligans, extra or substituted strokes are permitted.
D. Ties: TrackMan uses a ten-digit number to determine distance, but the leaderboard may only display fewer digits. In the event of a tie the applicable Prize will be shared among all entrants with the same final ranking. For example, if two eligible entrants scored a hole-in-one then those entrants would share the $100,000 first place prize equally and each entrant would be awarded $50,000.
E. Winner Notification: Potential winners will be contacted by email at the email address associated with their TrackMan account. Potential winners will be notified within ten (10) days of the end of the Promotion Period.
F. Amateur Status: Only amateur golf players may enter and participate in the Promotion. Upon qualifying for a Prize, it is the potential winner's responsibility to read the USGA, NCAA, or any other relevant governing bodies' guidelines to determine whether or not accepting the Prize will impact the potential winner’s status with the governing body.

In the event that any Prize notification message is returned as undeliverable or if no response to the Prize notification message is received within the time period stated or if the potential winner is found ineligible or does not comply with these Official Rules, the Prize may, in the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. If Sponsor is unable to confirm a winner after three (3) good faith attempts, the Prize may not be awarded. If the confirmed winner forfeits the Prize for any reason after confirmation, no alternate winner will be selected. If, for any reason, more than one (1) prize notification is sent (or more than one (1) claim is received), Sponsor reserves the right to award the Prize to the first eligible prize claim received.
