What documentation or approval is neeeded to allow a rifle on the course?

Accepted Answer

Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Eastern Tennessee, Eastern Alabama, Select areas of Louisiana and other states by request.

Question 4

What are your typical set up requirements?

CurtisWBurk · Accepted Answer

Preferably a par 5 or par 4 hole with a straight line of sight out to around 400-yards and away from any homes if possible.

I  bring a table, tent, chair, hole sign, and some small items to set up. I  would also need access to a golf cart before and after the tournament to transport the items but otherwise I am pretty self sufficient during the tournament.

Question 5

Is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I take all safety precautions. The rifle is locked, ammunition is not live, I use blanks. Each player receives individual instructions from a trained professional before they handle the rifle.

Yes, absolutely!

We raise funds for numerous police municipality tournaments and have never been asked to leave any course by any police in any state.

Question 7

Is the AR-15 loud?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the sound does carry a little distance.

How much lead time do you need to book an event?

The longer the lead time the better. April/May and September /October are very busy months and monday and fridays tend to booked early.
I prefer to have a 2 week notice for most tournaments. For any tournament requesting custom logo golf balls, a two week minimum lead from the time I receive the approved logo files.
