KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 2, 2003 – One lucky Sports Radio 810 WHB listener and their guest will get to rub elbows with the likes of Michael Jordan, John Elway, Mark McGwire and Dennis Miller during the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament held each year at Lake Tahoe, Nev.

In order to win this prize, contestants will participate in a weeklong Hole-in-One/Closest to the Pin Driving Contest the week of June 16 at several golf courses throughout the Kansas City area culminating on Friday, June 20 at Drumm Farm Golf Course in Independence.  The other golf courses hosting the event throughout the week are Falcon Ridge, Monday; Iron Horse, Tuesday; The National II, Wednesday; and Tiffany Greens, Thursday.

From Monday through Thursday of that week, participants will get the opportunity during the time of Kevin Kietzman’s show (“Between the Lines” broadcast from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. CDT) to hit a hole-in-one or get a ball closest to the pin.  The top two qualifiers from each of those days will advance to Friday’s finals.  On Friday, June 20, an all-day event from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. will take place where four additional qualifiers will advance to the finals.  The finalists will participate in a one-shot shoot off at 5 p.m. to determine who will win the trip to Lake Tahoe.

Contestants will be asked for a voluntary $5 donation at each of the locations to help benefit the Jim Eisenreich Foundation for Children with Tourette Syndrome.

The winner and a guest will receive roundtrip airfare, five-night hotel stay (leaving Wed., July 16, returning Mon., July 21), two passes to the tournament and other amenities.  The finals will take place on the 150-yard first hole of Drumm Farm’s par-3 golf course.
