H
osting charity golf
events can be a
daunting task for
any tournament planner.
Not to worry. Throughout
the year, American Golf fund-
raising seminars serve as a
refresher for veteran planners
and a basics boot camp for
first-timers, and online re-
sources help calculate costs,
outline needs and set
up registration.
Once a date is se-
lected, American
Golf consultants
partner with charity
tournament organizers
to help guide the way to a
successful event. Consultants
share their experience —
from what works and setting
goals to step-by-step plan-
ning — and they actually do
some of the legwork.
American Golf promotes
tournaments through its own
social media sites and teaches
clients to do the same. After
the event, its success is pro-
moted through a press re-
lease sent to American Golf's
database of golfers.
Through its Nonprofit
Partnership Fundraising Pro-
gram, American Golf gener-
ates more than half a million
dollars annually for charities
by donating rounds of golf.
Consultants even have
joined the board of directors
for some charities.
"It becomes that personal
for them," says Jennifer Tin-
ney, National Director of
Tournament Sales.
Whether the tournament is
played at one of its private or
public courses, American
Golf provides the same great
service and event needs —
set up, scoring and wrap up.
Tournament directors, how-
ever, do so much more.
"American Golf serves as a
venue, consultant and part-
ner," Tinney says. "We help
put on a successful event. We
get involved in the actual
planning of the event."
Tournament organizers
who need to draw more par-
ticipants, increase donors and
come up with creative ways
to maximize the fun factor
and money raised have an
experienced staff that can
help. And they want to.
"We really do care about
charities," Tinney says. "Our
tournament directors love it;
it's very fulfilling to help raise
money for a good cause."
