Kakao VX Co. (co-CEOs Moon Tae-sik and Kim Chang-jun), a sports and leisure platform company, announced Tuesday that its screen golf system Friends Screen Quantum (Q) and screen golf practice brand Friends Academy will run prize giveaway events throughout June ahead of the summer season.

Golfers can enter automatically by logging in at a Friends Screen Quantum store, navigating to the Grand Prix menu, selecting the official Friends Screen tournament, choosing the Summer Festival option and playing a round on the Eleven CC, Baekje CC or Seokjeong Hill CC courses.

The golfer with the best combined score will receive department store gift certificates worth 1 million won (approximately $662), while second place earns a premium golf caddie bag and Boston bag, and third place takes home a high-end rangefinder. A random draw is also held, giving beginners a chance to win regardless of their score.

Customers at any Friends Academy store nationwide who register for 1 million won or more in CPX will also be entered into a draw for prizes ranging from premium home appliances to a Boston bag and a driver cover. The first 1,000 customers to register will also receive a coffee gift voucher.

"We hope golfers will beat the early summer heat by practicing and making memories at the cool Friends Screen Quantum and Friends Academy stores," a Kakao VX official said.
