Golf Tournament Planning 101

Description

Let’s have a golf tournament! (says the boss). Sounds like a good idea. Ask Chris to organize it. Can’t be that hard – what, call the golf course, book the afternoon, send out the invites. What else is there? Couple hours work probably. Sounds easy enough.
300 hours later – Chris is snowed under with golf tournament planning, her real work is now off the side of her desk, and the golf project is over budget, over time, and out of control.
Let’s get you on the right track, with the following insights from Tournament Planning 101. Such as: Why do you want to have a golf tournament? Do you know any golfers? Shotgun or tee times? What golf course – tight fairways and small greens or wide open and friendly? $50 per person or $150 per person green fees? Scramble, Shamble, or Low Net Handicaps or not Drawsheet and player placements? Client appreciation or charity fundraiser? Tee gifts? Rental Clubs? KPs?, LDs? Hole in Ones Festival or Assigned Seating? How many hours did you say it takes? A Budget? We should have started when???
