Organizing a golf tournament really can be a thankless task at times. But if you just follow some basic procedures you can try to make it run quite smoothly. The main things you need to know are to watch the costs and take your time when planning.

Try to stick to deadlines and plan your tournament well in advance. This may give you more time to iron out any financial matters that need to be dealt with.

Go through the details with a fine toothed comb and watch out for any last minute changes that could have a serious effect on your plans. If any of your planning committee is not as golf wise as yourself then do not let them plan anything alone. They should always be with somebody that has a little experience of golf to assist them.

By organizing a 15 strong committee to help you should be able to handle everything that is thrown at you. This committee can be responsible for organizing teams as well as sponsors. Make sure that everybody is aware of their targets so that they can achieve them efficiently.

You can tell whether or not your marketing plan has been a success by the amount of people the eventually turn up for the tournament. If it is a poor turn out then obviously something was not quite right in the planning and preparation.

You could even create a website for the organizers and attendee's to help them with the tournament. This way they can keep a close eye on proceedings and be able to order any products that they need in time for the star of the tournament.

Always try to organize a tournament at a quality golf course. By choosing the best course and marketing the tournament well you stand a much better chance of it being a success.

The staff members at these golf courses are normally only too happy to assist in the tournament with such things as handing out prizes or organizing the sponsors or whatever else there is for them to do on the day.
