Fore. New Guidebook Drives Fundraising Golf Tournaments to New Heights
Colorado Springs, CO, September 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Charity golf tournaments raise millions for worthy organizations, but no one ever said putting one on would be a hole in one. Now, a new book from golf writer and tournament consultant John K. Darling gives non-profit executives and charity development directors the tools necessary for staging a smooth, successful golf tourney that will both raise money and excite participants.
Just released by Outskirts Press (www.outskirtspress.com), The Comprehensive Guide to a Successful Fund Raising Golf Tournament is perfect for first-time golf tournament organizers and veterans looking to take their event to the next level. Darling became tired of hearing about non-profit fund raising events failing to break even. He knew that by following a detailed set of procedures, golf tournaments are nearly always worthwhile. The Guide takes tournament planners through every step a golf tournament committee must address to be successful.
The secret lies in strong organization, in depth planning and, most of all, motivated people. The Guide, or manual, identifies key areas of responsibility from the duties of the golf committee chairperson, secretary and budget, tournament organization, marketing, registration, sponsorship procurement, player recruitment, direct product sourcing, to the awards program, and what to do after the event. The book ends with an addendum for corporate golf tournaments.
There’s even an appendix detailing golf-related product and service vendors—taking the guesswork out of one of the most time-consuming (but important) tournament tasks. The golfer gift, or goodie, bag is one of the main reasons players will return year after year. Many of these sources offer discounts or special considerations for charity and nonprofit groups.
Darling feels The Guide will help fund raising organizations make one of two decisions.
The first is not to take on this kind of event. The second is to make a positive decision to go for it and be successful.
The Comprehensive Guide to a Successful Fund Raising Golf Tournament is written in an easy going, conversational style and is like having a dedicated golf tournament consultant right there.
As a special bonus, a CD-ROM edition of the book comes with a special copyright allowing owners to print an extra copy to distribute relevant parts to tournament committee members. It also includes photographs and direct contact information for golf related products and services. It is only available through the author’s website www.SeniorFriendlyGolf.com.
The Comprehensive Guide to a Successful Fund Raising Golf Tournament is now available through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and the online bookstore of Outskirts Press, at outskirtspress.com/store.php.
