High school fundraiser turned out to be better for the new Ford F-150 owner than the team itself.
Imagine going to your kid’s scholastic athletics fundraising event with the hopes of having a good time and raising money for the program, only to win a brand new Ford F-150 at that event. According to AZCentral.com, that was exactly how this weekend went for Eric Lee, who hit a hole-in-one at a fundraiser for his son’s football team, but as it hitting a hole-in-one isn’t special enough, Lee sunk that shot on a hole that was sponsored by a local Ford dealership.
The prize for sinking a hole-in-one on that hole was a new Ford F-150, and in sinking the 174-yard shot, Lee won the free truck.
Saguaro High School Football Fundraiser
The Saguaro High School varsity football team has been holding their annual golf tournament fundraiser for years, but in the eight seasons that Coach Jason Mohns has been helping with the outing, he has never seen a hole-in-one. He has also never seen a parent win a new Ford truck at the event, but that all changed with Eric Lee’s shot on the sixth hole at Scottsdale Silverado Golf Course.
Silverado has six different par three holes, ranging from 131 to 174 yards. The sixth hole is the longer of those short-shots and it was number six that was sponsored by Peoria Ford. The dealership offered up a new F-150 for the first person who could hit a hole-in-one on the sixth hole, but with no one ever scoring a one on a hole in the fundraising event, the odds were good that the truck would be headed back to the dealership.
The Winning Shot
When Eric Lee stepped up to the tee at the sixth hole at Silverado on April 28, he delivered a perfect 174-yard shot that ended up in the bottom of the cup. We don’t know what Lee shot on any of the other holes, nor do we know who won the outing, but the father of Saguaro junior Matthew Lee drove home in a new, free Ford pickup.
There are no details on the truck, but based on the sole picture provided, it appears to be a 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat with four-wheel-drive. However, it could have been a base truck without any upgrades and it would have served as a great prize for this dad participating in his son’s football fundraiser.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
