So You Want To Host A Golf Tournament?

By Bill Poter


When you are hosting a golfing event, most people have lots of questions about how to do it the right way. Where do I start and where do I go? These are all great questions and stuff you need to be thinking about when considering putting on a golfing event! That is why at Kingdom.golf, we are here to guide you though every step you take so you can make the most out of your golfing experience.

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!

So what do we do first? We have to set in place the venue. This has to deal with where it is going to be held, what kind of drinks are going to be served, and what we are going to eat. This is all up to you, but I will have the final say because I do this for a living and you don't. This does not really have to do so much with golfing 'stuff' as it does with everything that goes along with golfing! Not very complicated is it? That is what I always say! Thanks for your help!

The goal of this whole thing is to let the golfers have the time of their lives. If someone comes in there and he is wearing a wedding band, but is trying to party that night. Let him for crying out loud. Golf spells fun in my book. Let them have the time of their lives and they will be dying to come back next year.

The golf part of the business is the fun part and we recommend to all of our clients that the best possible experience be provided for all of the players participating in their golf charity event, this is what encourages them to play in your event the next year!



We have one main goal in mind, falling in love with this golf tournament. That is what we do and what we live to do. Do not call someone who does not do this for a living and get them to try to put on a golf tournament. Get the experts at Kingdom.golf to lead you in the right path!
