Let's Get Real For A Moment
Similar to starting a business, events of any kind that you plan on making a yearly occurrence, often take time, energy, and dedication- plus maybe a little blood, sweat, and tears- to truly see success. And golf events are no different. Does that mean your event won't be successful the first year?

Making the decision to hold a fundraiser is a large feat no matter what you choose to execute- but a golf tournament? Now that takes some serious planning.

Instead, tournament organizers must make sure they facilitate a pace of play that allows participants to enjoy their day while keeping everyone- and everything- running smoothly.
