So You Want To Host A Golf Tournament?

By Bill Poter


Maybe you are thinking about hosting a charity golf tournament or a fundraising golf tournament for you or a company. Do not go into this all by yourself. There are lots of ways to make the most out of your tournament. At Kingdom.golf we know what you need to take your tournament to the next level. We have expert fundraising analysis that will point you in the right direction from the very start. Do not get ahead of yourself when hosting a golf tournament.

We approach a charity event or a corporate event the same way. We engage with whoever is hosting the tournament and then do a study and diagnostic test. Through each test we determine what exactly it is going to take to put on the tournament and if it is at all possible for you to make money. Once that step is finished we move on to the fundraising step of the event. This is the part that has got everyone fearful. But do not get too far ahead of yourself. You will be fine!

Lets get down to the money part of things. No golf tournament is free, let alone cheap! Things are needed up front to make it work the first time. We start off having a meeting over the phone and then in person. This will cost $150 dollars. As the meetings go on, the fees will continue. It is best if we set this agreement in place up front so that no feelings are going to be hurt at the end! Our charge is 15% of the tournament. If you would like to use some of our tools such as super tickets or auction assistance, this will be extra! But don't worry, it is all worth your while! Take it from me, a guy who does this for a living!

The engagement begins with a $150 payment to begin the diagnostic evaluation. There would normally be two (2) meetings (in person or online) with the diagnostic being conducted in meeting one (1) and solutions presented in meeting two (2). $250 is paid just prior to meeting (2). If a golf event is to be conducted the $400 paid to this point goes toward the implementation of the event with another $350 required to move forward. Once we move forward with the golf event, the fee is $1,500 (to be paid 1 week after the event) and 15% of "net" funds raised greater than $15,000 if conducting the entire tournament. If the client wants individual tools, such as; Super Tickets, Auction assistance, Live Scoring tool, the cost of tools will be separate from the conduct of the event.



Golfing is fun right? Then lets go out there and have a good time making some money at a golf tournament fundraiser. That is really where I come in. I would love calling up everyone you know and asking them to make a sizable donation to our foundation. That is really where you are going to make a lot of money, when it is all said and done.

We can conduct your event from beginning to end or engage in any part of your event to maximize fundraising opportunities. Regardless, we will help you raise more money and consume less time on your golf fundraising event.

Do not mess your tournament up by letting the wrong people run it. At Kingdom.golf we are the experts and you are not the experts. If you have an idea that is worth while, we may use it. But if it goes against what is on my agenda then we will not let you use it, ever! That is the reason I chose to do this for a living and you did not!
