RUMBLE..in 2025! No time like the present to set the tone, table and stage for the most successful charity tournament ever next year!
So, where to start? Easy peasy; who should you ask to be on the organizing committee? Yes…you need help! There’s power in people!
All of whom should have connections and contacts of their own that can lead to more golfers, sponsors, prizes, donations, etc. etc. etc.
Next up…a set of goals to guide everyone’s efforts: # of golfers, amount to be raised, how many sponsors (note to self; as many as possible), etc. etc. etc. Now you’re ready to focus on all that goes on the day of the event; volunteers needed, registration, contest package, player gifts, raffle prizes, auction items, etc. etc. etc. As you can see…there’s a lot to be done, so why not start now!
And if you want some free advice, have questions or need any help with all those etc’s…give us a call at 800-790-4653 or send us an email at info@tournamentpros.com. 2025 will be our 32nd year helping charities have more fun and raise more money!!

Pin flags are better! Sometimes you wonder whether anybody notices those signs sitting on the tees, right?! We all hope they do, but it’s certainly not a certainty they’ll be seen…let alone read! Which poses the question; how CAN you make your sponsors more “noticeable”?? Maybe a sign isn’t enough?! Maybe there’s something else that’s MORE visible…like pin flags! There’s 18 of those that are more than just visible…they’re what EVERY golfer is aiming at all day long!! They are also what each group physically comes in contact with on all eighteen holes…and more than once on each hole. After all, the pin comes out and has to go back in the hole! Everyone’s use to seeing sponsor signs (which is why they may be so readily overlooked!), but customized logo’d pin flags are NOT all that common. Tournament Pros would be happy to INCREASE their popularity…and increase your sponsor’s visibility and recognition…so give us a call at 800-790-4653 or shoot us an email at info@tournamentpros.com and we can send you a sample or mock up a flag to show you what it would look like with your logo. Oh, one more thing. NO ONE ever goes home with their sponsor sign…but you can bet each sponsor will be clamoring for their pin flag at the end of the day!

Putting on a charity golf tournament is a LOT of work…TOO much for one person. WAY too much. So…DON’T go it alone!
You don’t need dozens of people to help…not even a dozen. SIX is a great number…but honestly, anything over ONE is going to really help you produce a successful charity golf outing. A committee will get a lot more done in a lot less time than just you would…but only 100% of the time. Now…once you’ve brought a few folks onboard, it’s time to DELEGATE! Assign each person one or two tasks, such as 1) on course contests, 2) auction, 3) raffle, 4) volunteers, 5) golfers, 6) sponsors…just to name a few. And hold these folks accountable; have each report to the group how they’re progressing. You don’t have to meet daily, or even weekly…at least not until the big day draws nearer. Lastly…don’t be afraid to spend a few bucks to reward your committee members with something that honors their commitment, time and effort to the cause. It’s money well spent. So rustle up some friends and make life a little easier on yourself–there’s strength in numbers–especially when it comes to putting on a golf tournament.
