Golf fund raising ideas are fun and if managed properly, they can be very successful. One of the best golf fund raising ideas is to hold a golf tournament at a local golf course. A favored golf course is best.
The first step in holding a fund raising golf tournament is to talk to a local golf course and see if they will host the event. Usually they will, if they believe in the cause. If you can persuade them, have them run the prices of golfing for the day, clubs, carts, and all fees at a discount. All additional proceeds can go toward the benefit. Also, encourage golfers to make donations.
In getting people to show up at the golf tournament, you need to have prizes for things like first place, best swing, and so on. Creating an incentive for people to participate is important. Another incentive to prizes is if you can have a local person that is favored to speak at the event for the cause. People often will show up just to hear the speech.
Usually, if you are successful in getting a golf course to agree to host the event, the golf course will do much of the advertising of the event for you. This is because the more people that show up at the event, the more profits they stand to make too. In addition, it is common that the media will also provide coverage of the event. Media loves to announce local happenings and when the event is for a benefit or cause, they don’t consider it advertising. You can do advertising also by creating flyers, announcements on the web, etc. The more people that show up at the event the better.
One of the best golf fund raising events is holding a golf tournament. If you can manage to get a golf course to work with you and allow you to use the course at a discounted rate, then the event is sure to be a success. People love to golf. Creating incentives for showing up at the event and to golf is the most important aspect.
