The 2010 Harley-Davidson Rocker FXCWC will be the prize if a lucky golfer can sink a hole-in-one on the 11th hole at the Bandits Golf Classic

ELGIN - The Chicago Bandits have announced that a 2010 Harley-Davidson Rocker FXCWC (pictured) will be up for grabs  at the August 17 Chicago Bandits' Golf Classic.

The motorcycle, priced at a retail value of $19,844, will be offered as a prize for anyone that can sink a hole-in-one on the 11th hole at the Marengo Ridge Golf Club, the site for the Chicago Bandits Golf Classic.

"I'm extremely thrilled that [Harley-Davidson] wants to be a part of our golf outing," said Hannah Michal, the director of partnerships, marketing & promotions for the Chicago Bandits.  "I know that females are a growing market for them, so it's great to partner with them and help both avenues."

The Harley-Davidson is just one of a plethora of prizes, including a Paul Konerko autographed bat, premier tickets to the Chicago Wolves among other teams, and a new set of Warrior Custom Golf wedges, being featured at the Classic.

Chicago Bandits' general manager, Aaron Moore, hopes that this new addition to an already great stock of prizes will attract more fans to the outing.

"Having a prize like a Harley-Davidson can help bring additional golfers to the event, which well help bring us closer to our goal of selling out," said Moore. 

And, with only a handful of four-somes remaining, Moore said he is excited for the event to kickoff.

"I feel good for a first year outing," said Moore. "We're excited about the prizes and the opportunities we have for people. We'd like to make it an annual event with constant growth."

The event will feature a 9 a.m. shotgun start, scramble style golf outing with fun challenges at every hole. Marengo Ridge Golf Club features a beautiful course that mixes traditional course features with modern challenges for 18 holes that keep you engaged. 

Along with golf, the golf classic will feature a silent auction and dinner with auction items from multiple Chicago sports teams and businesses (just received a Paul Konerko autographed bat and premier tickets to the Chicago Wolves among other items). 

To participate it’s just $75 a golfer, or $300 for a foursome. If you would like to have a Chicago Bandits player in your group, making it a five-some, it’s an extra $125, or $106.25 per golfer. A list of our players can be found at www.chicagobandits.com/team/roster. The $300 foursome price includes golf, carts with pin-point GPS, a swag bag at check-in, an extensive dinner following golf and a silent auction.
