Is it a bird? Is it a plane?  No, it’s the first European Tour golfer to rocket into outer space.

That’s the price for the first player to record an ace at the par-3 15th hole at Kennemer Golf & Country Club in Zandvoort, Netherlands during next week’s KLM Open.

There’s the usual prize of a gleaming new car and sometimes a house, maybe a gold bar or in the case in one event in Australia the price for an ace was a full funeral service.

But the prize of a trip into outer space is a first in golf.

XCOR Aerospace, an Amsterdam-based company is offering the $100,000 prize of a trip into space from late in 2015.

Dutch aerospace firm ACOR offering a trip into outer space for the first ace in next week’s KLM Open at Zandvoort.

“We already have 300 bookings,” says Michiel Mol, a XCOR Aerospace board member.

“We wish to create awareness among the public that space is now also accessible for everyone.”

The company’s website describes its commercial flights this way: “a two-seat, piloted space transport vehicle will take humans and payloads on a half-hour suborbital flight to 100 km (330,000 feet) and then return to a landing at the takeoff runway.”

The trips cost between $95,000 and $115,000.

A true-to-scale model of the 30-foot-long Lynx Mark 1, the XCOR aircraft on which the hypothetical ace-maker will travel, will sit behind the 15th tee as a reminder of just what’s at stake. During last year’s KLM Open — won by Joost Luiten in a playoff over Miguel Angel Jiménez — the par-3 15th played as the seventh-toughest hole at 163 yards.

“Is fantastic that the KLM Open is the platform on which the possibility to travel into space is made known to the public. If you make a hole-in-one here you are justifiably a star player!” said tournament director Daan Slooter.

It is the second time ACOR has offered such a prize as in April last year the Dutch company offered a similar trip to the winner in a guessing competition.
