Planning a golf tournament is beneficial for so many reasons, even if you are planning it out at the last minute. You can still have a successful tournament. But since you are on a time crunch, it is essential to cut corners and shift your focus from overthinking to focusing on what matters. You’ll have to plan your event the same way you would if you had more time, but on a smaller scale. To help, here are some tips to help you plan your tournament at the last minute.

Effective Marketing

This is the most important part of planning your last-minute tournament. Drawing in golfers through effective marketing and promotions will make sure you get the number of registrations you desire. Tournament directors assume that they have to do it on their own, but they don’t. Take advantage of social media and post your event on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. You can also use your mailing list to send or email flyers promoting your event.

Contests

Hole in one contests is a great way to bring excitement to your tournament. Since you are planning at the last minute, you want to be able to draw in as many golfers as you can. Offering cash prizes for a hole in one, longest-drive, shootout, closest to the pin, or putting contest will motivate anyone to play at your tournament. But the only way that this will be effective, is if you get insurance (US Hole In One insurance to be exact)! What good is promoting that you’ll give away $1,000,000 if you actually can’t afford to do so?
