Tips for Planning Your Charity Golf Tournament
Do Your Research
Find out when other golf tournaments are taking place in your area. If there are too many going on at the same time, you risk the chance of low attendance which will not bode well for your fundraising goals.
Pick the Right Location
Thankfully there are a multitude of beautiful courses to choose from in the Auckland area. You can pick from the list provided below or do some independent research to find a place that suits your needs.
Provide Shelter, Beverages & Food
Keeping your participants happy is paramount to any successful fundraising event. This is also a great opportunity to promote your company by using branded tents or marquees – spreading them out along the golf course for the participant’s convenience.
Prizes & Raffles
On-course contests are great for entertainment and also a way to increase funds for your charity.
Set Limits
It is important to set a time limit and to not overbook. Most tournaments will have a cut off of approximately 128 players so that foursomes are not doubled up on par threes.
Provide Gift Bags
Make sure everyone feels like a winner! Include information about the charity that you are representing, so that people are reminded of the good cause.
Obviously, there is a lot more planning and organisation involved in pulling off a successful charity golf tournament event. Listed above are just a few pointers to help keep you on par. Here is a list of some of the more popular golf courses in the Auckland area.
