Golf Event Contests and Activities

Players and Sponsors Remember Great Golf Events!

Contests and events will make your golf tournament exciting and more enjoyable for your participants.  Not to mention, it is a great way to sell additional sponsorships.  There are many different contests and events golfers can participate in during the course of play

Hole-in-One

This contest is held on a par 3.  Prizes range from cash winnings to new automobiles and more.  If a contestant makes a hole-in-one they win the prize offered at that hole.  Some tournaments will have the prize donated from a local company.  If your event cannot have the prize donated, have the hole-in-one contest guaranteed for the value of the prize.  You can sell a hole-in-one sponsorship to cover these costs and add to your profit at the same time.

Shootout

The shootout is a new concept and a high profile event at golf tournaments everywhere.  It works like this: one to four golfers are chosen to go back to the 9th or 18th fairway after golf has been completed.  They may be chosen at random, or some events will choose the closest to the pin contest winners.  Each of the golfers will have the chance to make a hole-in-one for a much larger prize than offered in the traditional hole-in-one contest.  Prize values can be as high as $1,000,000!!  This is a great opportunity to gather all the participants outside after golf and before the dinner/awards ceremony.  This is another opportunity for a sponsor to gain tremendous exposure and for you to make more profit. 

Putting Contest

A putting contest can be held before, during or after your golf tournament.  The putting contest will serve as an additional fundraiser by charging the golfers for each attempt to qualify for the grand prize.  Most putting contests offer a grand prize of $10,000. 

Longest Drive

The longest drive event will be the most recognizable contest to your golfers.  Choose a hole that is long and fairly straight.  The object is to hit the longest and straightest drive during the course of play.  In order to win the contest, a golfer’s shot must be in the fairway when it comes to rest.  A marker is provided by the golf course to mark the distance of the longest drive and identify the winner.  You should have a contest for men and women and can have as many as 4 contest holes.  2 for men and 2 for women.  Take advantage of the longest drive contest as an opportunity to sell sponsorships.

Closest to the Pin

Also held on a par 3, this contest can be run at the same time as your hole-in-one contest.  The object is to be the golfer that hits the ball closest to the hole for the day.  A marker will be provided by the golf course for golfers to identify the closest shot to the hole.  It is a good idea to have a measuring tape near the green in case two shots are very close.  There are typically 4 par 3s on a golf course. You can have 2 contests for men and 2 contests for women.  Remember, the closest to the pin contest is also a great opportunity to sell a sponsorship and add to your profit.

 

Straightest Drive

This contest is held on a hole that is long and fairly straight.  Draw a chalk line down the center of the fairway.  The object is to be the golfer that hits the ball closest to the line.  A marker will be provided by the golf course to identify the winner.  This is another chance to sell a sponsorship and add to your profit.
