Hole-In-One Insurance
Categories: Insurance
Yes, this is a Thing. At many country clubs, it is de rigeur that, if you get a hole in one, you buy drinks for "everyone," i.e. everyone on the course, in the bar, out by the pool, in the private, hidden cock-fighting arena below the trap door in the clubhouse floor...everyone. Pick a busy Sunday and you might be buying $8 vodka gimlets for 300 people.
So many clubs sell hole-in-one insurance for like...10 bucks? 20 bucks? Something like that. Given that a normal amateur nails a hole-in-one roughly 1 in every 175,000 attempts, the club usually makes mint from selling that insurance.
And then they put that mint in the gimlet. Gives it a nice finish.
