That Elusive Hole in One...and Free Steak!

Recently, I was traveling in Omaha, Nebraska on business. I had just gotten finished visiting the Omaha Steaks stand at the airport (I was buying this beef jerky they sell for dogs - no lie, my dog loves them) when my co-worker Matt asked me if I had ever gotten a hole in one.

Immediately, I told him that I had not, but then I started making excuses. I explained that I had holed a couple shots from par-3-distance (one from 125 yards and one from 200 yards). I mean, if I were on a tee box when I took those shots, I would have two aces under my belt. Heck, I should get more credit for my two shots since neither were off a tee (and we all know it's easier to hit off a tee).

Alas, I had to settle for eagle (the 125 yard-shot) and birdie (the 200-yard shot). That 200-yard birdie should have been a double-eagle, but I hit my drive OB on a short par 5 and was hitting my provisional from the fairway...typical. So no, I have never gotten a hole in one. It doesn't really bother me...but I've played a lot of golf over the last 20 years, you would think the odds are with me. Of course, I am a self proclaimed "stinky golfer" and write for a blog called "Golf Stinks" so I guess the odds are right where they ought to be.

Anyway, shortly after my visit to Omaha last month (and in a rather interesting coincidence), I received an email from Omaha Steaks. I initially thought it was a customer satisfaction survey for my dog to fill out. Instead, they explained Omaha Steaks is running a �Hole in One� promotion for the month of August through their Facebook page - If you get a hole in one, you win a FREE package of 4 Omaha Steaks Filet Mignons!

But what about if you don't get a hole in one? That's OK! Because the good folks at Omaha Steaks have secured a $20 gift card for one lucky Golf Stinks reader! All you have to do is:

1. Make sure you "like" both the Golfstinks Facebook page and the Omaha Steaks Facebook page.

and

2. Post "I Entered the Omaha Steaks Contest!" on the Golfstinks Facebook page.

That's it - we'll automatically enter you to win during a drawing on August 16th!

Good Luck!
