When it comes to contests, this is about as good as it gets.
World Golf Tour is seeking a video blogger to cover the virtual and the real-life U.S. Opens. So... they're holding this contest... and the astoundingly lucky winner gets an all-expenses paid trip to the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale LI ... with a press pass and camera crew... to capture the event on behalf of WGT.com.
World Golf Tour, as you probably know, is the ultra-realistic, online HD golf experience that you play right on your browser. They've some of the most challenging courses in the world, too...including Bethpage Black.
You enter the video contest by creating a 1-2 minute video featuring... you... covering a recent WGT.com tournament. The deadline for entries is May 11.
YuChiang Cheng, the CEO of World Golf Tour put it this “World Golf Tour’s goal is to show golfers that it’s possible to capture a piece of the Championship experience through playing the Virtual U.S. Open online under the same conditions and guidelines as the best players on earth,”
I think that's a very laudable goal. Detailed requirements and rules can be found at www.wgt.com/news.
The virtual Bethpage Black is challenging enough for me to be happy I didn't win the contest to play the real one ;)
ReplyDeleteWould someone please lock my boss in his office so I can have a chance of winning this virtual closest-to-the-hole thing.
ReplyDeleteAs you know my last video attempt was unsuccessful but this time I WILL make it work!! See you at Bethpage!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I'm not nearly worthy of this honor. However, you would be EXCELLENT!
