Everybody loves a winner…especially when it’s them! One of the keys to a successful golf tournament is to make as many people as possible feel good…about themselves, your organization and the tournament itself. Nothing will do more to make sure they return–maybe with friends!?–than feeling good about their experience at your fundraising event. So what can you do to ensure that happens? Here’s a few ways you can add to the winners’ list:
1. Have as many contests as possible. The more contests, the more winners: Putting contest, chipping contest, long drive contest, shortest drive contest, straightest drive contest, crookedest drive contest, longest putt made, closest-to-the pin (on every par 3 hole), scratchcards, cash shootouts: $1M shot, $25K bonus shots, etc., hole-in-one prizes, 1st place team, 2nd place team, 3rd place team, last place team!
2. Have as many raffle prizes as possible. The more prizes, the more winners. Make EVERYONE on the committee responsible for getting raffle prizes donated…or finding/making special deals for some.
3. Have an auction…live or silent or both.
Remember…there’s a direct correlation between the number of winners you have–and therefore the number of happy people there are–and the success of our event. It’s a winning formula! And if you need help setting up any of these contests or getting any of the raffle prizes or auction items, don’t hesitate to contact Tournament Pros at 800-790-4653, info@tournamentpros.com
