If you\u2019re new to fundraising or new to the sport of golf, this may be the first time you\u2019ve thought about planning your own golf tournament. The first question you might be asking yourself is the most simple and often overlooked:\u00a0Why have a golf tournament in the first place?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are many different reasons people throw\u00a0golf events.\u00a0Whether its for a non-profit or corporate effort, most golf tournaments are fundraisers of some sort<\/strong>. Golf tournaments are a great way to raise money and bring people together, so raising money for an organization is probably the most common reason that people plan golf tournaments. Non-profits turn to golf tournaments because they are money-makers and can run on volunteers. They are a fun and relatively easy way to get people involved in a cause and out socializing, and they help the non-profit raise money and awareness for their cause. If you have a cause that you hold dear to your heart, you should definitely consider holding a golf tournament to fund raise\u00a0and foster involvement in your organization. If you aren\u2019t a member of a specific non-profit, you can also hold a golf tournament to solicit donations for a particular cause. This is very similar to raising money for a non-profit, but your tournament will have a specific cause in mind (example: raising money for a loved one\u2019s surgery bills) and will not be going towards a non profit\u2019s general funding. Using\u00a0this relaxed and positive environment is a great way to attract new donors, volunteers and board\u00a0members to an organization. When it comes to using Golf tournaments for non-profit efforts, you really can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n Want to have a tournament at Lake of the Pines?
