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/ or by contacting Dede McGrath at 540-745-5600 (leave message) or by email at Deirdre.Mcgrath@dvs.virginia.gov.  Cancellation must be made by July 2, 2012.  No refund will be given after this date.

12.       Awards – Awards will be given for various design categories, including, but not limited to:
            People’s Choice
            Mayor’s Trophy
            Best Use of a Hazard
            Best Use of Buffalo
            Best Rube Goldberg-Dr. Seuss-ian Design

13.       Partnership for Floyd will not be responsible for theft or damage to any of the holes or of any belongings of the teams during the event.  The Partnership for Floyd reserves the right to deny any entry application for any reason.  The Partnership for Floyd has the right to ask any team/team member to leave at any time for any reason.

14.       Fun – This is a FUN-draiser, SO HAVE FUN!
