Grove v. Charbonneau Buick-Pontiac, Inc.
Citation:
240 N.W.2d 853 (N.D. 1976)Facts
The Dickinson Elks Club conducted its annual Labor Day Golf Tournament on September 1-2, 1974. Charbonneau Buick-Pontiac offered a 1974 Pontiac Catalina to “the first entry who shoots a hole-in-one on Hole No. 8.” The tournament was played on a 9-hole golf course that was converted to an 18-hole course by having players go around twice, using different tee areas for the second nine holes. The 8th and 17th tees both aimed at the same physical hole (the 8th hole), with the 17th tee being approximately 60 yards farther from the hole. Grove scored a hole-in-one on the physical 8th hole while playing from the 17th tee during his 18-hole match. Charbonneau refused to award the prize, claiming Grove had not scored his hole-in-one on the 8th hole as required, but rather on the 17th hole.
