Going for the Green! An Insider's Guide to Raising Money with Charity Golf
by Tom King

According to the National Golf Foundation, an estimated 140,000 charity tournaments take place each year … drawing 15 million players … and raising millions for everything from cancer research to special education.

A veteran tournament organizer and former development officer, King knows golf tournaments inside and out. And because he’s been in the trenches for three decades, King paints a realistic picture of the possible headaches, risks, and exhaustion involved in this type of event.

King covers everything an organizer needs to know: when to start your planning; how to attract players; recruiting the right volunteers; the costs involved; choosing the best format; adding spice to your event; when to schedule it; how to secure sponsors; how to computerize the process; how to cope with the myriad details on tournament day; and how to evaluate your event to make it better next year.

The extensive appendix includes : a checklist of tasks you need to accomplish from six months out; a budget worksheet; a description of different tournament formats; seventeen job descriptions for specific volunteers; a look at some quirky formats; sample sponsorship levels; a description of sidebar events to add interest; and even a glossary for neophytes.
