Tips To Planning A Golf
Tournament
Planning a golf
tournament? Here are some tips to help you.
Selecting A Good Golf
Course
Select a good golf course and
facilities that can accommodate all the needs that you have and
make sure that their staff employees are likewise
accommodating. Check with the employees and ensure that you
tell them what you need and what you want to happen, especially
if you plan on having an awards or some sort of ceremonies
after the tournament. This is also the time you should think of
the number of golfers that you would allow to compete. You may
want to check the staff recommendations, especially if they
have a record of golf tournaments in their place.
Information
Brochure
It might be great if you make an information brochure
explaining and advertising the tournament in a clear and
concise manner, with a format that is easy and relaxing to
read. Put in a concise registration form along with the
brochure.
Getting
Sponsors
You should not forget about getting tournament sponsors. Order
early the course signage. It might take some time in getting
all the logos you need for printing. Be sure that the
tournament sponsors you got have first approved the publication
materials before taking them for printing. Many tournament
sponsors have very strict specifications about the use of their
logos and expect you to follow the guidelines that they
have.
Goodie Bags
Or Giveaways
Consider the goodie bags or giveaways in the tournament. You
could give shirts, tees, hats, balls, among others. You could
also keep a supply of sunscreen packets and bottled water. If
you are giving awards, you should order the trophies
early.
Database
You can buy a database (or design if you can do one) for the
registration process in helping you track the players you have
as well as the team pairings.
Golf
Staff
Make sure that the golf staff is recognized easily. They should
be easily distinguished with a special hat or golf
shirt.
Checklist
Do a short checklist of the things you need to finish or
accomplish in preparation for your tournament. Try to do
everything as early as possible.
Rules And
Requirements
Inform the players of the rules and requirements of the system.
Make sure that they do have the necessary equipment or tools
for play, such as score cards, balls, tees, among
others.
Food And
Drinks
Make sure that there is proper and enough nourishment at the
tournament. There should be enough food
and drinks available in the various points around and on the
course.
Contigencies
Prepare for worst-case scenarios
like course problems, injuries, etc.
