Zero upfront. All ego.
We bring The Heckle Hole to your tournament for nothing up front. Your golfers buy into the Cup — closest to the pin, a hole-in-one shot at $10,000, and the right to post the best score on the course. The entertainment pays for itself. The egos pay for the rest.
| Team | Paid | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Team 3A | $100 | 1 |
| Team 7A | $300 | 0 |
| Team 11B | $100 | 1 |
| Team 14A | Declined | 3 |
$0
No booking fee. No invoice before the event. Your budget stays exactly where it is.
We run it
We work the tee box, sell the Cup, collect every buy-in on the spot, and keep the board. Your volunteers do nothing.
50/50
Cup revenue splits down the middle until our share hits its cap. Past that, it all goes back into your event.
How scoring works
Every foursome that reaches the Heckler’s Cup hole gets an offer. Take the one and you’re in the game. Take the zero and you’re the top donor on the course — until somebody outbids you.
The One
$100per foursome
The easy yes. Most teams take it before we finish the pitch.
The Zero
Beat the High BidOpens at $250
The first zero sets the bar. Every team after that has to pay more than the current high bid to claim one.
The Zero Board
Somebody always goes first. Usually the guy who bought the cart girl a drink on hole 2.
Team 7A drops $300. Now every foursome behind them has to beat $300 to take a zero.
We read the board out loud, all day, to every team that comes through. Nobody wants to be outbid by accounting.

The hole-in-one challenge
Every team in the Cup gets a real swing at a $10,000 hole-in-one prize — while our comedians tell them exactly how it’s going to go. It’s not going to go well. But it could.
$10K
One swing. Zero mercy.
Why it works
Golfers will say no to a donation jar. They will not say no to a comedian asking why the team in the $400 Callaways is scared of a $300 bid.
“Team 7A paid three hundred. You guys drove here in a Range Rover. Just saying.”
On the tee box, every group“A one is a hole-in-one. A zero is a hole-in-none. It’s better. Don’t ask how.”
Explaining the math“You can take the three. We’ll just announce it. Loudly. At the dinner.”
To the team that declinesFor the tournament committee
You get The Heckle Hole, a new revenue line, and a tee box people talk about at the dinner — without adding a dollar to your expenses.
No deposit, no booking fee. Our pay comes out of what the Cup brings in on the day.
We sell it, collect it on the tee box, track the board, and hand you the numbers at the end of the round.
50/50 split with a cap on our share. When the egos get expensive, the extra goes back into your event.
FAQ
Nothing up front. We’re paid from Cup revenue through a 50/50 split, and our share is capped. If the Cup brings in more, the rest stays with your event.
We do, right on the tee box. We track every buy-in and every zero bid, and give you a clean tally when the round ends.
No. Teams can play the hole straight. They’ll just hear about it. Politely. (Mostly.)
It’s real, and it’s backed by hole-in-one insurance. We cover it. If a golfer sinks it, the tournament isn’t on the hook for a dime.
Whichever hole you’re already running closest to the pin on. The Cup rolls the contest, the hole-in-one challenge, and The Heckle Hole into one stop.
The first team to take a zero pays at least the opening amount. Every team after that has to pay more than the current high bid to claim their own zero. The board resets for nobody.
Yes. Heckle Insurance, Emergency Mulligans, and Silence the Hecklers can run alongside the Cup. Ask us how we’d stack them for your event.
