So August started out with a bang!
On August 1st, I hit my very first hole in one at a local golf scramble. It was marked as 167 but played like 138 being downhill. I pulled my 8 and swung. The ball landed 2 feet beyond the cup, spun, and came backwards. It hung up on the lip for what seemed like eternity until it disappeared.
I couldn't believe it!
However, it does get better as this was the sponsored hole in one hole! They had a brand new $55k Chevy ev blazer parked at the top. I laid down on the green counting my blessings. Once we did all the pictures, they told us to move along and we'd deal with the paperwork later. So we did.
It wasn't until we got finished up and returned back to the hole for more pictures that we noticed I did not own this car outright. It was (just) a 2 year lease.
After a month of negotiating, I turned that lease into a $15k down-payment and got zero percent financing to own it outright. The cash option was half of what they'd give me in trade and I dont need another car for at least 8 months (but will need it then).
Picked it up today. Im happy.

I have never been happier for anyone on this sub
So, let me get this straight.
You got a hole in one and got pressured into buying a new car?
Did you need a new car? Is this the appropriate new car for you? Did you research this new car before buying? I mean it’s a car that’s been on sale since 2023 and has sold fewer than 30k units. Probably because production shut down for 4 months because the car didn’t work.
Because if you think you negotiated a car salesman down, well I’ve got a bridge you can buy. Just $15k down and low monthly payments until that bridge had depreciated in value so much your paying more than its worth.
why not just take the free lease? even dont hold value, especially a Chevy ev.
I’m happy for you, but seems like you had a free car and chose to spend money instead?
Congrats! What course? Just curious. Pretty sure I live nearby based on the car dealership.

Fixed it for you
I dunno why a bunch of people care what you do with your money.
Congrats on the ace and the car.
That’s awesome, dude. And I say that sincerely, regardless what the math gurus below are saying.
Congrats! – the dealer did not get insurance for the price. – $500-1000 cost, from uswholeinone. This is the easiest process for the dealer, again, congrats that you won, but they could have given you this outright (taxes on you usually)
They probably thought there was no chance they could put a car there and actually get the person who hit a hole in one to buy it.
And you got the car from shooter Mcgavin. Sick
~10 years ago, a friend of mine won a car outright by getting a hole in one (215 yards; hole in crazy spot)…it took him close to a year to finally get his Ford Focus…everything had to go back to the Insurance company, witnesses interviewed, etc. It was ridiculous.
