Question

The Dickinson Elks Club conducted an annual Labor Day golf tournament. Charbonneau Buick-Pontiac offered to give a new car as a prize to anyone making “a hole in one on hole no. 8.” The golf course of the club was only nine holes. To play 18 holes, the players would go around the course twice, although they would play from different tees or locations of the second nine holes. On the second time around, what was originally the eighth hole became the seventeenth hole. Grove was a contestant in the tournament. He scored 3 on the no. 8 hole, but on approaching it for the second time as the seventeenth hole, he made a hole in one. He claimed the prize car from Charbonneau. The latter claimed that Grove had not won the prize because he did not make the hole in one on the eighth hole. Decide.

Answer 1

From the text of the case it can be ascertained that, the information provided by the golf club for the tournament is not clear. They have added some blur line for the contestant. Grove has won the competition because he made three into whole 8. The terms of the competition stated that player can go around twice hence the 8^th whole can become 17^th whole when the player reverse from the game. Dickinson Elks Club cannot state the Grove has not won the tournament on the basis of technicality they have put which itself is obscure.
