The Challenge
How does any amateur golfer with a dream ever earn a chance to play a round of golf at Augusta National? It is a true once in a lifetime opportunity. By what chance can this opportunity arise? Raising awareness, sharing a concept, networking and achieving exposure properly can only help. And so I set off to find a way to offer the privilege of a round at Augusta to at least one lucky person each year. A lottery where individuals make a small annual donation, or perhaps a more significant one time lifetime donation, in order to be in a drawing for the once in a lifetime chance to play a round of golf on the hallowed grounds of Augusta National. This would raise a ton of money for unbelievably great causes, and ultimately do nothing but good.
Wouldn't it be great to put together a means of using this website to raise money for charity, while providing deserving souls an opportunity to "sign up" for a possible chance to play a single round of golf at Augusta?
Example:
Individuals are encouraged to make a $100 or $200 charitable donation to the Jimmy Fund or other great charity.
With each donation, the individual earns a single entry into an annual drawing.
In the drawing, the winner whose name is drawn would earn a chance to join an Augusta National member and realize his "Augusta Dream", to play a round of golf at Augusta National Golf Club.
This site is represented presently by the following domain names: "www.oneroundataugusta.com", "www.playaugustanational.com", "www.myaugustadream.com", and "www.augustadream.com".
I believe that a considerable number of folks would be happy to make a charitable donation, especially with the knowledge that it would present a potential opportunity to play golf at Augusta National.
