The First Annual Operation Game On Media Challenge was held Dec. 8 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. The event was held to highlight Operation Game On’s 15-Inch Cup Challenge, which will be held Jan. 12, from noon-3 p.m. at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.

“Whether one is a scratch golfer, novice or pro, take the challenge and experience the fun of Hack Golf at this event and up your odds of scoring a hole-in-one. All participants will be entered into a chance to go home with two tickets to The Masters or a round of golf for two at Pebble Beach.

“The driving range will be the backdrop for the Challenge with four distances ranging from 75-150 yards, with the new 15-inch cup instead of the typical 4.5-inches. Every hole-in-one pays cash prizes.

“Operation Game On gives returning combat-injured troops suffering from physical and mental disabilities a very special custom intro-to-golf package.”
