Putting Competitions for Your Charity Golf Fundraiser Tournament

Putting Contests are Moneymakers!

Putting Contests in “Golf Tournaments 101 The Second Edition” are given their own Chapter

Putting Contests in a one day nonprofit charity fundraiser golf tournament. They’re usually played during player registration time, a period that can last for as long as two hours. (The time from when player registration starts until the players go out onto the course at “Shot-Gun” time).

They’re “Mini Tournaments Within-a-Tournament”

Players love the opportunity to show their putting skills. These competitions should be seen as moneymakers because, sponsorship money can be generated and there should be a player entry fee to compete, even if it’s only a modest $5.

The Way Each Putting Competition is Played Is Fully Explained in the

Putting Competitions chapter of “Golf Tournaments 101 Second Edition”. There’s even a downloadable file with ready to print putting contest score cards.Golf Tournaments 101 Second Edition

There are Four Different and Conventional Competition Formats and a Very Unconventional One with an Italian Flavor

 1: The One-Hole Putting Competition

There are Two Different Ways to Play. Both ways are described in the chapter. Having a quantity of small prizes with sponsor logos on them to use as gifts to be given away or as prizes to be won by the competitors, is a nice touch. For example, golf balls. Details on how this format is played and whether to consider it for your tournament is covered in Golf Tournaments 101. Chapter 14.

    

 2: The Two-Hole Putting Competition A Possible $10,000 Prize!

In this putting contest, several teams can be on the green competing at the same time. There are two method of scoring to choose from and both are explained in the chapter.

 4: The “Italian Meat Ball” Putting Contest

This is an event for a small tournament and yes, there really is such a putting competition! The players are each give three frozen meatballs to putt with. It’s very much a fun event. The rules are simple and what happens to the meatballs after the event is unsure.

It really is a moneymaker. It has the advantage that many players can be on the six-hole-green at the same time. Players really enjoy this competition. The fundraising advantages are: First, more players will compete in this very popular event, therefore more dollars are raised. And second, even more fundraising dollars will be generated because all the competitors have the opportunity to pay and play again. Many players will do that.
