Golf Tournaments 101: The Guidebook for Charity Fundraiser Golf Tournaments (Paperback)
Very informative, easy to understand and interesting. I ended up reading the entire book in one day. It even has spreadsheets on a CD that you can make copies of.

Mel definitely writes from experience. He put Braemar Country Club on the map as one of the premier Clubs to go to in the Los Angeles area for Charity Tournaments. This book is a must read for anyone who plans to attract Charity Tournaments to their golf course. Well done Mel.

Anyone planning a Tournament must absolutely have Golf Tournaments 101 by Mel Lewis. I have run multiple charity tourneys at Braemar CC and Mel’s knowledge, guidance and support have proven invaluable. He’s a master of his trade and an unbelievably generous individual. This book is destined to become an industry “bible”. John D. Yozzo

A must read for groups needing to raise money
08/13/2011Reviewer: Mark
Mel Lewis has created a must read for any association, charity or groups that would like to raise money, recognize constituents or simply provide a great experience for members or patrons. What makes this step by step book so valuable is not only the lifetime of experience Mel provides the reader, but Mel goes a step further and provides a CD with all the templates anyone would need to ensure their golf tournament a success. Well done Mel!
A tournament organizing necessity
08/19/2011Reviewer: Gregg Harkness
After Mel Lewis arrived at Braemar CC in Tarzana, Ca, tournament participation soared and the number of outside events increased dramatically. By utilizing the principles contained in his book, the efficiency and operation of the tournaments make them a lot more fun to play in. I really like his Polish-Peoria format, amongst others, because it really levels the playing field and gives the players a more equitable chance. This book is a necessity for any golf entity that wishes to make their events a success for everyone.
From 1950 until 1954, Mel served his five year apprenticeship in club-making with his Uncle Gerry. In so doing, he became the last Anderson family member in five generations to become a maker of handmade golf clubs.
