i think top prize was $500 bucks, they aslo had a little mini excavator set up with a plastic golf club, taped to a tooth , and had to start with the bucket on the ground, when the guy blwe the whislte, you picke up the bucket and tried to put your way to the hole, about 15ft away with the club, it was also tough, ground was uneven and if you had the ball going pretty fast it would either keeping going down the hill or stop , and you had to keep trying until you got it in. if i remember correctly i was just shy of a minute or so.unfortunately i didnt win! For the backhoe test i actually droped my second roll of toilet paper which disqualified me, i did ahve a good time until i droped it. oh well theres always next year!
