How to Form a Committee for Your Tournament

Do you want to plan a successful golf tournament this year?

Every successful golf tournament has a great committee behind it. This committee has experience planning different golf-related events and understands the unique needs of a tournament. 

As such, you shouldn't choose just anyone to be on the committee. Instead, you need to assemble a skilled group of people. Below, we'll get into everything you need to know about forming a committee for golf tournament planning. Keep reading to make sure you host a golf tournament that will get spoken well of for years to come!

Start Far in Advance

You shouldn't wait until the last minute to form your golf tournament planning committee. If you do, you might run too close to the deadline. You might not have the ability to get everything done. This results in a tournament that might not run in a smooth fashion.

So, you should start assembling your committee as soon as you know you're hosting a golf tournament. Often, golf tournament planners assemble their committees months to a year in advance. Then, at your first meeting, establish a timeline for what you need to get done. 

Assign Roles

Determine how often the committee will meet and assign roles if needed. Your team should have a leader. This person will lead the golf tournament planning efforts and be in charge of making final decisions if needed.

They should have past team leadership experience. They also need to have great listening skills and the ability to implement the ideas of other people. 

Program Administrator

Next, you need to appoint a program administrator. This person will go over all the fine details of the tournament and make sure you have the right resources. 

Their responsibilities may include:

• Arranging a caterer
• Figuring out how many people will attend the event
• Making sure the competitors have everything they need
• Figuring out the program of events
• Performing a site walkthrough before the event to make sure everything looks nice

A Creative Team

Successful golf tournament planning includes getting a creative team to advertise the event. Otherwise, you may not have as many people show up. You may even lose money on the tournament.

Your creative team should consist of people who have experience with print and digital marketing. Look for professionals who understand SEO, graphic design, and social media advertising. If needed, hire a few people.

The Treasury Team

Finally, you need a group of people to handle the event's finances. Otherwise, you might overspend and not be able to recuperate the expenses.

The treasury team should have experience with finance and forming a budget. Have them review your financial situation, figure out how you'll make money, and advise you on expenditures.
