Most Tournament Planners start planning their event 60 days before their event, which means not having enough time to reach their goals. Tournament Planners need at least 6 months to do it right.
Take advantage of the winter months to start planning your events.
Top 8 Things to do in the off-season when planning a golf outing
- Evaluation
Review past event. Not just the good but what went wrong. - Research
Where your past golfers are coming from and their likes/dislikes. - Golf Course
Secure your course and perhaps go out and talk to new courses to discuss a different location. - Committee
Put the committee together now and have them start asking sponsors - Sponsors
The new year is when everyone is setting their sponsorship budgets so ask now. - Golfers
Survey your past golfers. - Promotion
Golfing shows are happening in February and March in the major cities in the Pacific NW so consider attending as a guest to research sponsors and all golf themed items. - Gifts and Prizes
Now is the time to look at all the clearance items from the past year.
Take advantage of the downtime and use it to prepare for a successful event.
We at Blue Wings Golf can help you create a business plan to help implement and to keep the team on track so you can have a successful event.
