Details of Program
- Set entire course up as 18 par 3 holes.
- Vary in length from 30 yards to 225 yards.
- 4-person Scramble (You can vary the format to fit your needs).
- Separate tees for men and women.
- Divide teams into 2 or 3 flights based on final scoring. We cut ours in half right at the middle score. This was done so that higher handicappers had chances to win prizes. Big hit.
Recommendations
- Advertise this on your Facebook page and email blasts.
- Allow and encourage pre-payments to avoid long lines at the counter.
- Set up the course so majority of women can reach greens in regulation.
- Trick shots are OK. (ex., The 30 yard hole over a bunker, with the pin tucked close.)
- Be sure and have beverage cart on course. This is a very social event.
- Have a meal planned afterward and part of entry fee.
- Make this one of your last events of the year. Because of the format, you’ll have good turnout and it will be a great day for your financials.
