How much is a hole-in-one worth? Golfers will say it's a priceless experience few enjoy in their lifetime. On Thursday, January 22, however, CrackerJax is awarding $5,000 for hole-in-one made at their Scottsdale facility. In addition, making a hole-in-one in Scottsdale on Thursday qualifies the golfer for a trip to Las Vegas in the fall and the chance to attempt another hole-in-one for a prize of $10 million!

CrackerJax, Arizona's largest family fun and sports park, is celebrating 15 years of offering family fun in Scottsdale by partnering with DreamShot Golf to offer golfers the opportunity to win more than $10 million in cash and prizes. The entry fee for the hole-in-one contest is $10. Every participant will receive a scratch and win ticket which can result in anything from discounts to CrackerJax to fee driving range ball cards to a new G2 Ping driver. (Ping, Inc. is headquartered in Phoenix, by the way, and celebrating their 50th Anniversary!) Each customer sinking a 150-yeard hole-in-one shot at CrackerJax on Thursday, January 22, receives $5,000 in cash and a $5,000 trip to Las Vegas to participate in the $10,000,000 Shootout October 16 -18, 2009.

CrackerJax 15th Anniversary celebrations will continue throughout the weekend (Jan. 22 - 25) with sales, discounts, prizes and more fun for the whole family. The event will also feature special and promotional pricing including:

• $1.50 rides
• $15 unlimited ride wristbands
• $15 driving range cards (good for 250 – ball baskets)
• prize drawings, contests, and live entertainment.

CrackerJax offers visitors more than 27 acres of family fun from a Can-Am style go-kart track (plus kiddie go-kart track), a bumper boat lagoon, three miniature golf courses, Water Wars, batting cages, volleyball courts, an arcade and a two-story automated driving range. Located at 16001 N. Scottsdale Road (0.25 miles south of Bell Rd.) in Scottsdale, Arizona, CrackerJax is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The Driving Range opens at 8 a.m. every day.

The DreamShot $10,000,000 ShootOut is the most substantial hole-in-one jackpot in golfing history. Participants will arrive in Las Vagas, Nevada on Friday, October 16 for a welcome reception. Saturday, October 17, 2009, is set aside for the full golf event. Several other competitions will be held including Closest to the Pin and Ring the Pin. Awards will be presented at an awards dinner that evening. The $10,000,000 ShootOut will be held on Sunday, October 18, 2009 with full TV and radio coverage. The ShootOut will be followed by the closing ceremonies and the awarding of prizes.
