2,000 golf balls dropped from a helicopter. Will yours be the closest to the target for $25,000?

Join us on Friday, May 8, 2026 at Griffin Bell Golf & Conference Center as the Georgia Southwestern State University Athletics Department holds its 7th Annual Hail Storm. Golf balls may be purchased in advance for $100 each. Closest to the target takes home the first prize of $25,000. Second closest gets $10,000 and the balls coming in third through ninth win $1,000 each. There's even a $1,000 prize for the ball that rests farthest away.*
You do not have to be present to win, but included with your golf ball purchase is a ticket to that evening's reception. Enjoy food from The Canterbury Kitchen, complimentary drinks - including beverages provided by our local partners Thirteenth Colony Distilleries and Mike's Party Center - and music performed by The Creativity Band. The reception runs from 6-10 p.m. with the Hail Storm (ball drop) taking place around 7:20 p.m.
