The Scouting America Ball Drop is a one-of-a-kind fundraiser held within the Scouting America Golf Classic. Four lucky winners could take home up to $4,000 in prizes. Sponsored golf balls are dropped from a crane at The Dominion Golf Course & Country Club. The four closest balls to the pin will be the big winners. All ball drop proceeds will benefit Scouting programs at the Alamo Area Council.
- Golf balls are $10 each, and balls will be sold up until tournament play (October 14, 2024, at 12:15 PM)
- Each golf ball will be numbered sequentially and placed into a special hopper for the drop.
- The number on each golf ball will correspond to a number that matches their ticket.
To purchase your balls online, scroll to the bottom of the page. Golf Balls may also be purchased at the Alamo Area Council Service Center. Balls will be sold during regular business hours, Monday – Thursday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. A summary of the rules for this contest is provided below. For additional information, contact Morgan Baxter at Morgan.Baxter@Scouting.org or (210) 740-9366.
*If less than 1000 balls are sold, the prize will be based on equivalent percentages of total sales. Frost VISA gift card prizes will be awarded to the four balls closest to the pin.
Scouting America Ball Drop Rules
- Golf balls will be dropped from a crane, approximately 40 feet, at The Dominion Country Club Course over a hole cut by the staff of The Dominion Country Club.
- The four numbered golf balls closest to the hole will win. The closest ball will win the grand prize. Second, third, and fourth places will be awarded to the second, third, and fourth closest balls to the pin. In the case of a tie, the purse will be combined and split equally.
- Official golf ball number assignments will be posted before the event. No balls will be sold after the deadline has passed and all number assignments are final.
- The golf ball drop winners will be determined by Dominion Golf Club staff, assisted by members of the Alamo Area Council, and witnessed by a Notary Public.
- The Frost VISA Gift Card prize will be awarded based on the following percentages of gross ball sales: Grand Prize = 20%, 2nd Place = 10%, 3rd Place = 6%, and 4th Place = 4%. Prizes will be determined based on the total number of golf balls sold.
- You do not have to be present to win.
- You must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
All federal, state, and local taxes are the sole responsibility of individual winners. For all prizes valued at more than $600, winners may be required to sign an IRS Form 1099 or the equivalent.
