Hypo: $10M if you score 86 or less on 18 holes, 365 days in a row
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 5th, 2026 12:16 PM Author: Buck-toothed Stain If you complete 18 holes of golf scoring 86 or less 365 days in a row, you will receive $10M tax free.
You must tee off from the men's tees.
You must play at least 20 different courses as part of the challenge during the 365 day period for it to count.
Only courses of average or above quality, length, and difficulty count.
A rules official will follow you to make decisions and assess penalty strokes as appropriate.
You can restart the hypo as many times as you like. The offer is open for life. But, you still need 365 consecutive days.
You can restart each day's round as often as you like.
Are you in? Do you quit work and start golfing full time now? |

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:27 PM Author: Buck-toothed Stain No. It's up to you to pay for and procure tee times, clubs, etc.
The only things provided to you by the hypo are the rules official and the $10M if you complete the hypo.
Are you in? |

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:39 PM Author: Concupiscible Bat Shit Crazy Corner Juggernaut You would have to be a ~scratch golfer to card 365 straight rounds at 86 or better, even playing the whites at an average 68-69 course rating / 125 slope rating sort of course. The ability to end and re-start rounds is good in theory, but is subject to tee time availability. Even if we assume you have 2 rounds booked every day, probably need to be 3ish handicap to have a shot at 365 straight days of 1 round of 86 or better.
