How the Air Cannon hole works
We take one par-4 or par-5, set up the Air Cannon on the tee, and turn it into the most talked-about moment of your event – while quietly raising thousands of extra dollars.
Each golfer aims the Air Cannon, pulls the trigger, and watches their ball rocket down the fairway. It’s safe, legal, and suitable for all skill levels.
We’ll help you set pricing and format: per-player donation, team upgrade, or “Super Ticket” bundle. The hole can easily become one of your top revenue generators.
Our team greets every group, explains the rules, handles the shots, and records results. You stay focused on sponsors, guests, and the rest of your event.
Why tournaments bring us back every year
You’re not just booking a “trick shot.” You’re adding a professional, fully staffed attraction that boosts revenue, impresses sponsors, and makes your committee look brilliant.
- ✔ Big fundraising upside. With the right format, one Air Cannon hole can raise more than many silent auction items.
- ✔ Built-in sponsor value. Feature a presenting sponsor on signage, the tee, and announcements – they’ll thank you for the exposure.
- ✔ Memorable player experience. The hole becomes the story they tell at dinner and on social media.
- ✔ Zero extra workload for your committee. Jim’s team handles the setup, safety briefing, operations, and tear-down.
- ✔ Works for all skill levels. New golfers, seasoned players, and even non-golfing VIPs can all enjoy firing the cannon.
LeaderBoard NW has helped tournaments of every size: small local fundraisers, corporate outings, and large charity events with full sponsor slates. The Air Cannon integrates cleanly with whatever scoring system or format you already use.
Jim will talk through your goals (fun vs. fundraising vs. sponsor value) and customize the hole so it fits your event perfectly.
