Putt-Putt Golf Challenge Guidelines
The 2nd
Annual Great Putt-Putt Gold Challenge Mini-Golf Hole Design contest will be
held Wednesday, July 4, 2012, at the Floyd County High School Baseball fields
from 2:00 to 8:00 pm. The Challenge is a
fundraising event sponsored by the Partnership for Floyd. The Challenge will be part of the 4th
of July Celebration sponsored by the Floyd County Merchants and Businessmen’s
Association. Proceeds from the Challenge
will go to the Partnership for Floyd to fund their various projects throughout
Floyd including the Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park. Additionally, a portion of the funds will go
to the Floyd County Merchant’s and Businessmen’s Association to help pay for
the fireworks.
Set up will
start at 2:00 pm. Judging will begin at 3:45
pm. Awards, except for the Peoples
Choice Award, will be presented at 4:00 pm.
The People’s Choice Award will be presented later in the evening at the
4th of July Celebration just prior to the start of the
Fireworks. Following the awards, the
“course” will be open to the general public to play; cost to play a round is $1
per person per round or $3 for unlimited play.
The “course” will be open to play until 8:00 pm. After which, dismantling and clean up of the
holes may begin. We ask that there is no
dismantling or packing up done during the fireworks themselves. You may resume after the fireworks are completed. Please be cautious of pedestrians while you
are dismantling and packing up, especially if you choose to leave prior to the
beginning of the fireworks.
Guidelines
Entrants
will design and build a mini-golf hole, then bring the hole to the Floyd County
High School Ballfields on Wednesday, July 4, 2012. Holes will be reassembled, laid in a “course”
and then judge in various design categories.
There are no size or design limits for the Challenge, HOWEVER, we ask
that you keep the following in mind:
1. Sturdy –
Depending on how you design your hole, people may have to stand on portions of
the hole in order to putt the ball. Both
children and adults will be playing – make your hole structure sturdy enough to
bear the appropriate weight.
2. Safety – Be
sure all nails, screws, etc., are not protruding from the structure. Ensure there are no hazardous elements to
your design. Ensure there is safety
equipment (borders, hand rails, hand holds, etc) where appropriate. Any holes with up-slopes should have
netting/hedging behind them to protect the unwary.
3. Subject
Matter – No offensive, suggestive, lewd, etc, designs, or designs with
offensive, suggestive, lewd, etc, language on them.
4. Weather –
The “course” is outside and at the mercy of the weather. Be sure and consider the materials you use in
your design.
5. Transportability
– The holes need to be constructed prior to the event and transported to the
FCHS for assembly. There will not be
time for construction of holes on the day of the Challenge, only assembly and
minor transportation caused repairs.
When designing your hole, you may want to think in sections for ease of
transportation and assembly.
6. Ball Return
– Be sure and design for the player to retrieve his ball either by directly
removing from cup or by appropriate ball return system.
7. Movement –
We encourage teams to build movement into their design, however, there is no
electricity available to the ballfields.
Movement needs to be mechanical or battery powered. If you absolutely need electricity, you will
need to provide your own generator.
8. Par – Each
team is responsible for determining the “par” (number of hits to sink ball) for
their hole. Try to keep the par
reasonable (6 and under).
9. Clean Up –
Each team is responsible for dismantling, removing and disposing of all
material from their hole after the event.
All teams are expected to clean up any trash around their hole before
leaving. In the event a hole is left and
Partnership for Floyd has to dispose of it, the team will be charged a $25 disposal
fee.
10. Advertizing –
Advertizing of your business or organization is allowed, and encourage, on your
hole. Sponsorships work too.
11. Entry Fee - $10. Registration forms are available on the
website at: http://partnershipforfloyd.blogspot.com/

a Hazard
