    hi all,

    Just looking to get some thoughts/feedback on how people would feel about following or joining a Facebook/online competition page for weekly prizes specifically Golf orientated. Prizes such as balls, gps, range finders, game improvement aids and lots more. Plan is to at first running it through the Bonus Ball lotto, 47 spots first come first serve (spot secure once payment received). I know there is a lot more to think about with this but I just wanted to see how people would feel in partaking in such draws.

    Look forward to hearing from you all

    Zero interest in anything like this. No way I'm signing up with cash to something like that

    i just don't get why that is even a consideration. can only guess OP is not a golfer and just trying to come up with a scheme to make a bob or 2

    I've seen things like this before. Just leads to people putting in completely false cards obviously....and why wouldn't they? Not trackable at all.

    Never mind the potential of course for simply being scammed. Everyone pays their entry and organiser shuts up shop.

    I like them as a concept provided there is some way of establishing legitimacy

    @Seve OB Actually a very avid Golfer by the way, I wouldn't be so presumptuous with your statements. Also trying to give people who might not be in a position to buy some top end gear an opportunity to do so without having to part with huge amounts of cash.

    @callaway92 I think you might have misunderstood my idea. There will be nothing to do with playing golf. I am looking to setup page where by people could purchase a number from 1 to 47 (to start with) in order to be in with a chance to win a prize. My idea came about as Golf as we all know isn't a cheap sport and I would like to give people to opportunity to win some prices and things that they might not be able to afford.

    Thank you for your reply @swededmonkey my initial plan is to run it from the bonus ball of the lotto draws would take place once all numbers are sold and it would be posted on a facebook live to make it as legitimate and transparent as possible. I am not here to scam anyone.
