Outline Your Plan
The first step when planning a Florida golf tournament is to create a plan. Creating a plan will make it easier for you to check things off your list as you complete them.
It also serves as a representation of things you've yet to accomplish and will need to be done ahead of the tournament. Your plan should also feature a timeline in which everything on the list needs to be completed.
Gather Your Team
Everyone on your team will have a responsibility that ensures the golf tournament comes together promptly. For example, you'll need a sponsor chairperson.
The sponsor chairperson is responsible for contacting tournament sponsors and working on contracts ahead of the tournament. Their goal is to improve the overall revenue acquired by the event.
Ensure you motivate your team to work hard from the pre-planning to the post breakdown of the event. As you create your team don't forget to settle on a budget.
Choose the Course
Before you can decide the format of your tournament you need to select the golf course where the tournament will be held. The golf course is important because it will determine how large an event you can have.
Other factors the size of the course affects include:
- Number of golfers to compete in the tournament
- Number of people attending the tournament
- Hotel accommodation for the guests
Also, you'll want to choose a course that is clean and provides a quality course for golfers to play.
Promote the Tournament
How are you going to get people to the tournament if you don't advertise it? We recommend campaigning in your community by purchasing television and ad spots.
Don't forget as you promote the tournament to provide information about where people can purchase tickets to attend.
Purchase of the Awards
Are there awards or medals that will be given to participants? You need to decide what type of thank you bags, or medals will be handed out after the tournament has concluded
This can be a part of the sponsor chairman's job if you intend to partner with a sponsor that specializes in making personalized awards.
