Do you have ice running through your veins to drain a 25 foot uphill pressure putt or the mental fortitude to overcome distractions? What about weaseling your disc through a 10 inch gap or a low ceiling knee shot...will your disc find the chains?

$5 - Intermediate - (Am 2, Am3)

Win a car at Hickory Hills Open!

Hit an ace at Hickory Hills Open, and you could win a Car, or a Chainstar basket! Cost = $5.00 50% of the money goes into the ace pool payout, 50% of the money goes into the skins fund for the end of the year winners. The value of the car is estimated at $1,500 (THANK YOU Traverse Motors!). The value of the Chainstar is estimated at $400 (THANK YOU Tom Dillon). If nobody hits an ace at HHO, the car will then go to our next event “Sleeping Bear Summit” in Maple City on July 24th. ... more

Hit an ace at Hickory Hills Open, and you could win a Car, or a Chainstar basket!

Cost = $5.00

50% of the money goes into the ace pool payout, 50% of the money goes into the skins fund for the end of the year winners. The value of the car is estimated at $1,500 (THANK YOU Traverse Motors!). The value of the Chainstar is estimated at $400 (THANK YOU Tom Dillon).

If nobody hits an ace at HHO, the car will then go to our next event “Sleeping Bear Summit” in Maple City on July 24th.

If we have more than 1 ace, we will have a throw-off on Sunday to determine the winner of the car. You must be present on Sunday to have a shot at winning the car. If you can’t attend the throw-off, you will still get your share of the cash, but will lose out on the chance at a car. No “substitute shooters” allowed in the throw-off. Throw-off will occur from the top of the hill near 7's tee pad to 8's basket. We will have a shorter tee for women & juniors to shoot from at the throw-off. The ace pool payout will be as follows:


For easy explanation purposes, let’s say 80 players enter, for a total of $400. NWS automatically sets aside $200 towards the end-of-year skins match, leaving $200 left in the ace pool.

1 Ace: Winner gets car & $200
2 Aces: Winner gets car & $100, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $100
3 Aces: Winner gets car & $66.66, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $66.66, 3rd place gets $66.66
4 Aces: Winner gets car & $50, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $50, 3rd-4th places get $50 each
5 Aces: Winner gets car & $40, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $40, 3rd-5th places get $40 each
100 Aces: Winner gets car & $2, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $2, 3rd-100th places get $2 each

So-on and so-forth
