When it comes to hosting a charity golf tournament, your number one priority is to make the entire event as successful as you possibly can. This will not only allow your guests to enjoy themselves, but it will also bring in more funds for your charity. National Hole-in-One Association would like to share with you a few useful tips to follow to ensure your charity golf tournament is an ace in the hole.
Tip #1
Choose the golf course carefully. You don’t want your event on a course that is not well manicured, doesn’t have enough staff, or is too difficult to play. When you are advertising chances to win prizes, you want to offer your guests a course that challenges them, but not one that is so difficult no one can win the grand prize, or any prize for that matter.
Tip #2
Meet with the staff ahead of time. You want to make sure the staff understands exactly what is going to go on. How and when do you want the prizes presented? Will there be a luncheon also? What will be served? Will you require food and beverages on the course? Meeting with the staff ahead of time not only allows you to communicate your needs, it will allow you to see how friendly and willing to serve the staff actually is. If the staff is questionable, select another course to host your charity golf tournament.
Tip # 3
Advertise. Use the prizes you will be offering as the ‘hook’ in your advertising efforts. Start advertising as soon as you have all of the details worked out. Be sure to require all participants supply an email address so you can confirm for the current event and advertise later. You can also use their email addresses to give information about future events or to solicit directly for donations.
Tip #4
Obtain a sponsor. If you want your charity golf tournament to be truly successful, obtain a sponsor. This not only makes your event more intriguing and attractive, it will help you to obtain more sign-ups. This will also double your advertising efforts for free as your sponsor will be advertising as well to get some good public relations out of it.
Tip #5
Purchase Hole-in-One Insurance coverage from National Hole-in-One Association. Besides being covered on all of your prizes, of any value between $1000 to $1,000,000+, you will get top-of-the-line signage to place around the course. This will make your charity golf tournament more professional, more exciting, and will give you the chance to spotlight your sponsor during the event. You can also use your signs in your pre-even advertising efforts.
Don’t forget to purchase the weather insurance as well so you will be able to reschedule your event in the case of bad weather without worrying about your Hole-in-One Insurance coverage. And don’t forget to have fun. Get coverage details from National Hole-in-One Association today:
