Golfer Sues Ford Vendor, Nation Membership After Backing Out of F-150 Prize

A golfer who hit a hole-in-one at a charity occasion thought he gained a model new Ford F-150, however there was only one downside. The Arkansas-based dealership that was supposed to produce the $53,595 truck says it by no means agreed to the deal. Now, a lawsuit.

“Gap-in-one on #10 will get you the keys to this F-150. Because of Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton!” the nation membership wrote in a now-deleted Fb submit, in keeping with The Kansas Metropolis Star.

A hole-in-one is exceedingly uncommon in golf, however that didn’t cease Austin Clagett – who paid the $375 entry charge – from reaching the feat on the “Match of the Century” by getting a hole-in-one on the tenth gap through the event. He was, as you might think about, very excited on the prospect of getting this new truck.

That is the place issues get sticky. Jay Hodge Ford wrote on its Fb web page that it offered the F-150 “for show/promoting functions solely.”

“Whereas administration on the golf course desired for our dealership to supply the truck as a prize for a hole-in-one on the course through the occasion, we have been unable to satisfy this request because of the lead time required to supply insurance coverage for a Gap In One Car. This was clearly communicated to Morrilton Nation Membership administration, and the membership agreed that the dealership would supply a brand new truck for show/promoting functions solely.”

The submit went on to say that Morrilton Nation Membership promoted the truck as a profitable prize with out Jay Hodge Ford’s information.

Ah properly, all stated and accomplished. It’s the Nation Membership’s fault, proper? Incorrect (perhaps)! That is the place issues get juicy. Automotive Information experiences that screenshots present that the dealership’s Fb account “favored” the county membership’s posts that have been selling the F-150 prize. Nonetheless, they “unliked” the submit after this complete kerfuffle began, in keeping with Clagett’s lawyer.

“That is about doing what is correct. Mr. Clagett lived as much as his finish of the deal when he bought the hole-in-one and now Morrilton Nation Membership and Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton need to crawfish out of the deal,” Clagett’s lawyer, who’s suing each companies, stated in a press release.

The Star experiences that Andrew Norwood of Denton & Zachary, PLCC, Clagett’s attorneys, says “it’s now clear” that neither the nation membership nor the dealership need to give Clagett the truck he technically gained. They’re each being accused of breaching their contract by not transferring the title to Clagett.

The lawsuit says “injustice can solely be prevented” if Clagett will get his new truck. Nobody on this story appears significantly likable and I adore it.
