    I wanted to play this as I thought the $1/birdie for charity was great idea to make money for Junior Achievement and also would give me a buzz feeling like I was playing for them.

    I started a round with birdie - par - birdie but when I clicked the allianz link which came up after 2nd birdie twitter said i had already tweeted this message. So I slightly changed the wording, being careful to leave the #Allianz in the text as required.

    Why did I have to do this? Will I need to do it for every bird? Will the charity money get there if I do?Will $1 be paid for every bird on every 9 ( it's unlimited) I play?

    Could a mod please investigate this and get back to us here?

    I quit the round I was playing to post this but I'd really like to give it a go, it put quite an exciting twist on the game. It also provides me with a great incentive to learn how to deal with high winds!

    I found this too Paul - was a real pain.

    On the good side - you'll probably only have to do once per round!!!   lmao

    That's what I said to myself when I thought about playing it.  I haven't been making the most birds lately,  shouldn't be too inconvenient for me lol.

     

    Got another free ball to add to my collection though. :)

    LMAO, aint that the truth.

    If this is resolved though, the real good players could rack up a pile of cash for the charity, that's why I think this is worth pursuing.

    Have not read the rules but most companies obviously put a limit on the amount they are going to contribute before hand.  So really just a gimmick as to the amount donated most likely is already predetermined.

    Cheers!

    This will probably start a frenzy..I am willing to bet that many people on here don't do Social Media(Facebook, Twitter, among others), such as myself.  So we aren't allowed to play and get the donation made.  Sure we can play, but that is where it stops.

    Join Twitter just to donate.. Not a F'ing chance.

    Sorry I am not of the younger generation that can't hold a conversation with another person.  But yet they will sit across from each other and text their conversation, or air their dirty laundry on Facebook, for the world to see.

    My kids are of the next generation after the current and even they won't answer a dam phone or listen to a voice mail.  But will jump right on a text.  To watch them constantly stare at the phone just irks me to no end.  We probably were in the last group of people to even get cell phones.  We have them, they are a phone.  Text and Internet on those phones is turned off.  I don't let a phone run my life, like the NOW generation does.

    But what can you do.  Go ahead fire away, as I am wrong.

    For all i know, it gave an incentive to make bird after bird, just to see that message over and over again.. Golf n charity go hand in hand..:)
