NtheSeaOrSky 0 #26 May 15, 2008 Gas cards might be a big bait for the adults given the current state of affairs. You might talk to other flea market vendors about donating/discounting certificates for their stuff as prizes since it could increase their traffic and hopefully sales. It is summertime so ice cream, snowcones and those items might be a nice draw. I am sure there are tons of prizes you could think of to target all age groups Life is not fair and there are no guarantees... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about pet scorpions in cages? Plenty of them around.

Well sure, if you don't mind the fact that the dog licks its asshole before picking the ball up and returning it to you.

popsjumper 2 #32 May 15, 2008 Prizes? I got it! I GOT IT! Leg Humps!!!!! You knew that was coming, didn't you? Oh...for the "bumps"...let 'em use a chipper instead of a putter. Lost balls cost another $1. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

happythoughts 0 #33 May 15, 2008 Quote It has been suggested that I could allow small children to move up a "bump" on the course to give them more of a chance at winning. How much money do you think that you can hustle off of small children? "...c'mon baby... daddy needs some lunch money..." Quote Without turning this into an argument, I would love to hear any rules or playing suggestions on making this a fun, fair game. No goosing while someone is bent over to concentrate on their shot. Quote Now I need help from my other friends to decide what sort of prizes to offer. First prize - a pair of Tampa Bay Rays tickets. Second prize - two pairs of Rays tickets.

boinky 0 #35 May 16, 2008 I like the gas card idea. Gift cards for restaurants might not be bad either. Normally, I get big bulky things that stand out and draw attention.

boinky 0 #37 May 16, 2008 Quote How much money do you think that you can hustle off of small children? You would be AMAZED!! I currently have a "Spin To Win" game (looks like a Wheel of Fortune wheel). It averages anywhere from $15-$30 on Saturday and $35-$65 on Sunday. The new game is actually to attract a more adult crowd. Adults are VERY competitive and will razz each other when they lose and then they have to play again to recoup their lost ego. I also anticipate them making themselves play again, without any razzing. You know the scenario, "Just one more putt. I KNOW I can do it."

skydemon2 0 #38 May 16, 2008 Hey Sparky How many tries did it take you to make one? Looks pretty hard probably a lot harder than most people think. How often do you expect someone win? If you expect 1 in 500 or 1000 to make it then I would put out some pretty good prizes $100.00+ I would guess those three ridges would almost make it impossible, I would guess youll get a lot of airborne balls off the first ridge. Maybe round out the ridges and make them a little higher and wider at the base and one end a little higher than other, alternatly. You wanna make it hard not impossible. Oh yeah get a polaroid shot of the winners with their prize and have them sign it, people love to see others did it and they cant........ It drives them.

Conundrum 1 #39 May 16, 2008 Is it even possible to win with those three "speed bumps" in the way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #40 May 16, 2008 Quote Hey Sparky Wow. It's been a while since you've called me that! When the game was set up, but before the mat was glued down, I managed to get 2 out of 5 holes in one. So yes, it is possible. Plus, I'm giving them a "practice shot." Perhaps you missed the part where any alterations aren't possible? Everything is already glued down. Picture concept already created....just not mentioned here! I have Kodak camera and a docking station that prints. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

skydemon2 0 #41 May 16, 2008 Quote Wow. It's been a while since you've called me that! Yes too long indeed....... 2 out of 5? Thats pretty good I would have never guessed that.

boinky 0 #42 May 16, 2008 I'll be your "Sparky" any time! The grass was there. I was putting from where the mat is being pressed now. We're going to thoroughly test it tomorrow night. Wanted to make sure that the glue was good and dry under the putting mat first, though. That astroturf frays like hell! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?
