1. Decide When & Where to Hold Your Golf Tournament

Determine the location of your tournament as well as the date/time. Remember, it is all about being prepared, so do your research to ensure there are no other major scheduling conflicts (i.e. travel holidays, concerts, etc.).


2. Select a Tournament Format

Determine what kind of format is a great fit for the event. The format chosen will determine the number of players that sign up, the amount of time it takes to complete each round and how entertained your players are.


3. Advertise and Market Your Tournament

Figure out the most appropriate method to attract players. Tournament flyers, press releases, social media, email lists, and cold calling large companies can all do the trick. A tip: Build a web presence early - advertising can sometimes be a tricky and daunting affair. It's important to get out there early for your tournament event to work and developing a web presence early is among the best ways to do it!


5. Finalize the Details of Your Golf Tournament

In the months prior to your golf tournament, finalize your entry form design, menu and budget. It is also important to finalize and order your promotional materials, tee prizes and awards. Having these details set and ready will make you feel more confident.

 

6. Make it the first of many

After everything goes as planned, follow up with interested participants. Pass along the amount of cash the charity raised through the tournament. If everything is in order, arrange to have the same tournament on the same course at the same time the following year.
