Hole in One Contest Returns

The 2025 GAM/Detroit News Hole in One Contest will take place at Whispering Willows GC in Livonia on Monday, September 8th.

The contest is open to anyone who has ever had a hole-in-one on a regulation golf course. Each contestant gets two shots but can also take a third with a charity donation of $5.  Prizes will be awarded for overall closest to the hole as well as flight prize winners. The contestants will be flighted by gender and age. 

There is no cost to participate, but there is a fundraiser during the contest benefiting the GAM Foundation, the Detroit News' Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation, and the Empower the Veterans Foundation. 

The contest originated in 1935 by then golf writer John Walter of the Detroit News. It was suspended in the year 2000, but reemerged several years ago.
