Please fill out the information that follows, provided of course that you're interested. You will be contacted by the Olympic Golf Subcommittee Chairman if you qualify for entrance.
Dear Mr. PA PLAYA,
My name is Gregg Severnson, assistant chairman of the 2016 Golf Olympics. I'm writing you today to notify you that after a lengthy research process and due considerations, in the coming weeks you may be presented with an opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of representing your country in the upcoming 2016 Olympic Games.
In recent weeks our committee has been informed of numerous competitors withdrawing from the Golf portion of the August Olympics in Rio, leaving us with very little notice to formulate an alternative plan. As a result, we've been forced to consider alternative measures, up to and including extending invitations to amateur golfers within your continent who maintain a verifiable USGA index of 3 or less. After coordinating with our US Olympic Committee Golf Chairman, it appears that you qualify for Olympic consideration!
Representing one's country is one of the most noble endeavors that one could ever hope to achieve in life, as very few ever attain such a gratifying and lifelong patriotic opportunity. Of course, certain extenuating conditions apply (listed below in the official 2016 Golf Olympics in Rio extenuating qualification questionnaire). But rest assured that thousands of amateur golfers, like yourself, are being contacted presently. The early bird catches the first worm, so chop-chop on filling out the questionnaire and submitting it back to us in a timely fashion!
Good luck, and we hope to see you in Rio in August!
Sincerely,
Gregg Severnson, Assistant Chairman of the 2016 Golf Olympics
