Going Pro

The fun of golf comes to the world of Print ‘n Play in Going Pro!

Each Going Pro ticket has nine holes. The Final Score for each hole is determined by comparing Par and the Score for that hole. For example, if Par on a hole is 4 and the Score is 5, the Final Score for that hole would be 1 as a Bogey (1 above Par) is worth 1 point.

If your Total Score is 14 or more points after the nine holes on the ticket, you win a prize!

Going Pro gives you the chance to win up to $50,000!

Here are the complete how to play instructions from the ticket.
