Asked to attempt a putt over a distance of over 90 feet, a basketball fan in a game in Louisville, Kentucky, hit the nail on the head and won the grand prize.
Seeing the man jumping for joy, one would be inclined to believe that he has just won a trip or a new car. Better than that, a nice big check for 50K.
In the field.
The title stole the punch, but I’ll say it again, because it’s hard to believe. For his achievement, our hero of the day got his hands on a bottle of American whiskey.
⛳️ Congratulations to our ‘Putt for Pappy Winner’ Kevin Burch who drained a 96’ full court putt to win a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23-Year! ???? https://t.co/I31w0sOlFn#LiquorBarnKY #PartyMart #ShopLocalKY #PuttForPappy pic.twitter.com/KHLbBFZUQ3

His reaction reminds us of a certain Shooter McGavin.

Bourbon, the pride of Kentucky
Without the prank, the sponsor and the local team could have enhanced the gift. I want to believe that bourbon is the pride of Kentucky and that the brand Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve stands for quality, it’s not bad cheap as a reward.
Especially considering the degree of difficulty of the challenge.
According to bourbonr.com, the suggested retail price of the product (23 years) is $ 249.99. It is not the sea to drink, although, it should be noted, its rarity makes its purchase cost fluctuate.
In addition, the CH regularly organizes this kind of competition at the Bell Center. If that’s all it takes to make someone happy, maybe Geoff Molson could consider giving away a case of 24 when a fan hits the puck through the tiny hole at the other end of the rink. .
What do you think of the idea?
