The FIVE BALLS to land in or closest to the hole will win incredible prizes, with the GRAND PRIZE winning a TRIP FOR TWO TO LAS VEGAS courtesy of Pacific Honda. This fundraiser is open to EVERYONE---you don’t need to be part of the Golf Classic to participate! Winners will be announced at our Awards Pau Hana following the tournament and will be contacted individually; no attendance necessary. MORE ENTRIES, MORE SAVINGS! We have some awesome ball bundle tiers to help you maximize your chances:
