The Best Golf Opportunity In The World.

Hole19, Mobility Pro & HWPO in association with Callaway and Adidas are giving one golfer the chance to claim a £100k investment for their debut year as a pro.

The documentary-style competition, 'The Shot', will follow one golfer through a six-month tailored training programme of their body and mind, under the guidance of three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings, in order to play their best golf and make the cut at Royal Liverpool Golf Club – where the investment awaits.

But this isn't just open to aspiring professionals!

The Shot is also looking for three golfers of varying abilities who want to improve their golf game.

So whether you're teeing off at your club championship or simply looking to shave a few strokes off your handicap, The Shot could be right up your alley.

Entries are now open to submit your casting tape below.

Following a tailored improvement program devised by Mobility Pro, HWPO and Scott Stallings, golfers will record their scores and stats via the Hole19 app to see how this translates to on-course performance.

The Shot is supported by Callaway who will be providing bespoke club and ball fittings to the chosen golfers to help with their games. Adidas will be providing the best performance apparel alongside Hole19 gear to our golfers so they look sharp in front of the cameras.

At the end of the program, one golfer will head to Open Qualifying in a bid to try and qualify for the 151st Open. Should they do so, Scott will be on hand at Royal Liverpool to prepare you for the two biggest rounds of your life.

If you then make the cut after 36 holes, not only have you achieved a memory that will last a lifetime, but you would have secured £100k to support your first year as a professional golfer.

For our other golfers, you will compete in a showdown at a top course where there will be a cash prize (£750, the amateur limit) and a VIP experience to The Open to play for, where you too will get to meet Scott ahead of The Open.

But most importantly, our golfers will finish this project with a better golf game.

"I'll help the players to be the best version of themselves. This is an opportunity of a lifetime, and I want them to do everything they can prior to that to perform on the first tee."
- Scott Stallings, 3 time PGA Tour winner

Filming will begin in February 2023 and our cameras will be following each golfer every month in the lead-up to Open Qualifying and The Match Showdown.

FAQs

How much time do I need to commit to?

For The Open Qualifier, you will need to dedicate a fair amount of time, a minimum of 3-4 hours per week. You are trying to make the cut at The Open after all.

For The Cash Game, if you don't have much time, don't worry. The Shot training program is designed to fit into a hectic lifestyle so don't let that stop you from applying. You can do as much or as little as your life allows. This is part of the story we want to tell.

What does a tailored program mean?

Every golfer is different, from the strengths of their game to how their bodies move. Hole19 and Mobility Pro will asses your current game and mobility and provide a training plan that will give you the best chance of improving. 

How do I claim the £100k investment?

You must first apply below and if selected for the documentary you will need to follow your tailored training plan ready for an Open qualifier in June. Should you make it through qualifying and compete at Royal Liverpool, then you are two rounds away from the money. If you make the cut after 36 holes at The Open Championship and then turn pro, Hole19 and Mobility Pro will transfer £100k into your bank account to help you for your first year as a professional golfer.

How much time do I need to commit?

You need to commit to working on your body for a minimum of 20 minutes every day for 6 months. How much you practice your golf is up to you but if you are serious about claiming the investment or prize, you need to put the time in. Our cameras will follow your progress once each month.

What happens if I don't follow the program?

Due to the cost, time and energy of this project, you will be contracted into participation, this includes 3 Zoom calls, 20 minutes of personal training every day, practising at least once a week, as well as meeting with our film crews to follow your progress. If you sign on and deliberately ignore the program and its requirements, you may face legal proceedings.

Is this within the golf rules?

Yes, the £100k is within the rules as long as you turn pro should you make the cut. For the cash game, the limit of this cash prize is £750 as per the Amateur Prize Limit.

Is this legitimate?

This is 100% legitimate. The Shot is headlined by two global brands, Hole19 and Mobility Pro and has the support of 3 time PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings and the global golf manufacturer Callaway.

What happens if I don't make it through Open Qualifying?

It will be sad but if you have followed the program then unfortunately you won't qualify for the £100k investment but we hope all that you have gained will inspire you to continue to improve. 

Can I enter with a friend?

You can enter the cash game with a friend yes. Please ensure you submit your application including your casting video together.

Do I need to be using Hole19 or Mobility Pro to enter?

No. You do not need to be using them at the time of applying. If successful, you will be given access to the premium versions of the app for your training.

What are the dates?

Casting applications are open until January 16th 2023. If you are shortlisted you will be required to do a short screen test with our production crew.

If successful, training and filming will begin in February 2023.

The cash game will be hosted in June 2023 along with Open qualifying.

You will be followed for a minimum of two days per month from February to July 2023 to film your training and progress.

Is Scott Stallings really involved?

Yes. He is very passionate about training for golf and has committed to three Zoom calls with the participants of the document to provide advice and motivation. There may even been a chance to meet Scott at Royal Liverpool.

Can I follow along even if I do not make the documentary cast?
