Best thing won at a charity tournament

[moshdirtjumpr]

I played a my first charity tournament a couple of weeks ago. After the tour they had a drawing. To my surprize, I won a new 4 hybrid. They had 3,4, and 5 to choose from. I already have the 3 and 5. It is a Macgregor MT.
What is the best thing someone has gotten from a charity game?

An R7 driver in a putting contest as part of a charity tournament and a Kitchen Aid stand mixer in a raffle. I'm the cook in the family, so truth be told, I was as excited about the mixer as the driver!

I play in a charity event every year as a guest of a sponsor. In the door prize raffle, they give away airfare for two to Hawaii, and also airfare for two to Europe. Haven't won yet, but one year.....

Wow. $300 driver and $300 mixer. That's pretty awesome.

I won free a cover for 6 months at the local downtown bar complex, Seville Quarter. as much as I enjoy not paying a cover charge to go watch live bands, wet t-shirt contests, and dueling pianos all on the same night, I gave it to my bachelor playing partner.

I won this last year...

Man, I'm jealous! That's pretty freakin awesome! If that was just one prize, what else did they give away? And how much was entry fee?

They gave away a Glock G20 ! Drivers, hybrids, bags, all kinds of goods. It was only $50. A ton of teams played. They had free beer. Everyone in my group got ridiculously lit. We probably could've won it, but the beers turned against us on the last few holes. I won the putter for a closest to the pin. I landed a wedge behind the hole and it spun back to 15 inches. If it'd gone in I'd have won $10,000 from a bank sponsor. I should've used a softer ball... The thing is, they didn't really know what they were going to give away for each prize, per the drink - they got a little distracted. I ended up having to leave pretty much right after we got off the course - so I asked the guy running the prize patrol if my CTP won. He checked - and said that I did win. I told him I had to go - and he says - just pick anything over there that you want, we really haven't decided what wins what. That guy happens to live three houses down from me...

I wish they had free beer at this torunament! It would have been more worth it. The had sodas, water and donuts.

No free beer? Was it a church tournament? BTW...I would sell the club and buy something that I actually wanted.
