Fantasy Contest Participation

The Hammy Open is a privately organized, skill-based fantasy golf contest among friends and invited participants. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any professional golf organization, sportsbook, or gambling operator.

Entry fees are collected to fund a shared prize pool distributed to top finishers at the end of each tournament and season. This contest relies on participants' knowledge, skill, and judgment in selecting golfers, not on chance alone.

Participation is limited to individuals 18 years of age or older. By joining, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that participation in a paid fantasy contest is permitted in your jurisdiction.

This Is Not a Gambling Site

The Hammy Open does not accept, facilitate, or process sports wagers of any kind. We are not a sportsbook, bookmaker, or gambling operator. We do not hold a gambling license, nor do we need one.

No bets are placed through this site. No odds are set by this site. The entry fee is a flat participation fee for the fantasy contest, not a wager on any sporting outcome.

Betting Odds & Market Information

This site may display publicly available betting odds and market information sourced from third-party data providers. This information is provided strictly for informational and entertainment purposes, similar to how major sports media outlets (ESPN, CBS Sports, PGA Tour) display odds alongside tournament coverage.

Displaying odds information does not constitute an endorsement of gambling, a recommendation to place any bet, or an offer to facilitate wagering. We have no affiliation with any sportsbook or betting operator.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline: 1-800-522-4700 (available 24/7).

Scoring & Tournament Data

Live scores, player information, and tournament data displayed on this site are sourced from publicly available sports data feeds. While we strive for accuracy, we make no guarantees that scoring data is complete, current, or error-free.

In the event of a scoring discrepancy, the commissioner's determination is final for all contest purposes.

Limitation of Liability

The Hammy Open is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. The organizer is not liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from participation in the contest, reliance on displayed data, or use of this website.

Prize pool distribution is at the sole discretion of the commissioner and governed by the published rules for each season. Entry fees are non-refundable once the first tournament of the season begins.

Privacy

We collect only the information necessary to operate the contest: your name, email address, display name, and nickname. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.

Leaderboard standings and nicknames are visible to all participants. If you have questions about your data, contact the commissioner directly.

Questions?

This is a friends-and-family contest run by one person with a pig headcover and a spreadsheet problem. If you have questions about these terms, reach out to the commissioner directly.
