With enough tries. Someone is bound to hit that in
What I've seen locally is a series of preliminary rounds on a shorter putt followed by ONE attempt by the winner at the long ball. That gets more people feeling involved and reduces the odds of anyone actually MAKING the putt.
Here it was for $25,000. For 2 days, you could try a ~20 foot putt...make one, and you made the run-off on the 2nd afternoon.
Runoff rounds culled us from ~80 to 20 to 6 to 2. I was one of those 2. The wrong one.
Once that was done, they marked out a 70' putt on the floor, (so no information on break, speed, nothing to help) and let the winner putt. He was 20' short. Had I made it, my odds were slim...but being short on one chance for 25K? THAT wasn't gonna be a concern.
Anyway, I'd guess that's standard. First rounds of competition somewhere else, then a single look at the big putt for all the marbles. If they let a lot of people try, the insurance must get to be ruinous.
