LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- People have a chance to win $1 million by playing Kentucky Derby Festival's hole-in-one golf contest this month.
Kentucky Derby Festival hosts the Stock Yard Bank $1 Million Dollar Hole-In-One Contest from April 17 through April 27 at Seneca Golf Course. There will be 10 days of preliminary qualifying rounds, a semi-final round and a final round.
According to a news release, the preliminary competition starts April 17 and ends April 27. It's closed April 20. The range is open from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., but on the final day of the preliminary competition, the range is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The semi-final round will be April 27 at 6 p.m. and the finals will be April 29 at 6 p.m.
During the preliminary rounds, the 10 closest shots to the hole each day advance to the semi-final round. But a hole-in-one shot advances directly to the final.
It costs $1 per swing daily with two swings for $1 on the following days:
