Tips for Planning a Successful Golf Tournament

Is your company planning a golf tournament for the summer? Here are a few tips to make your next tournament a smashing success!

  • Start promoting your event at least three months in advance. Include a golf bag tag or handy golf kit with your invites. Your invitation is more likely to be opened and its bulkiness will create more excitement about the event.

  • Start registering participants at least two hours before the tournament begins. Hand out logo'd gifts the players can use while golfing like sunglass cases, golf balls, golf towels, or a gift set with items like a shoe bag, visor and water bottle.

  • Choose high-performance wearables. Remember, it's hot on the links! No one wants to be seen sweating it out. If you're providing golf shirts, remember to give clothes with moisture-wicking fabric and UV protection.


  • Feed them well. A smart breakfast might include coffee, tea, muffins, fruit and water. Plan a healthy lunch and remember to take advantage of the advertising space that imprinted napkins and cups provide.


  • End the day with prizes. Opportunities for prizes abound from door prizes to prizes for the lowest and highest score. How will you reward participants? How about a set of clubs, golf bags or a sports watch. Another useful gift is a multi-purpose golf tool. Look for one that has a ball marker, knife, divot repair tool, cleat tightener, nylon brush, key ring and pen.


  • Remember to call the Promotion Doctor to help you score big with your clients or employees.
