Boss Watches Gift to Ace Golfers

Around £1,000,000-worth of exclusive BOSS Watches will be up for grabs in 2013 as the luxury brand launches a new hole-in-one prize for golfers who record the elusive ace in club competitions.

Along with a specially commissioned Boss watch winners will also receive membership of the exclusive BOSS Watches H1 Club, launched in association with The Telegraph and HowDidiDo, with access to exclusive benefits and H1 Club merchandise.

Any golfer who's club uses the HowDidiDo system will be eligable for. No registration is required to participate in the promotion as all official club competitions are recorded on the HowDidiDo system, so holes-in-one will be noted and automatically ratified by the golfer's club which will be for verified rounds between April 15 and October 31, 2013.

Stephen Brydon, UK sales and marketing director for MGS Distribution, the official licenced UK distributor for BOSS Watches, explained: "To the majority of amateur golfers, recording a hole-in-one will be the most memorable thing they achieve in golf - yet all many have to show for it is a dent in their bank balance after buying a round of drinks in the clubhouse.

"We aim to make it a lot more memorable for them by presenting them with an exclusive BOSS watch, available only to golfers who record a hole-in-one. It will provide a constant reminder of the sight of their ball popping into the hole and the emotions attached to that very moment.
