Why Golfers Play

PGACLAY — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:08:00 GMT

There are only a few reasons why golfers play in your golf tournament:

1. They know you
2. They believe in your cause
3. They feel they are getting more value than their entry fee

I know.... and you know..... that it is almost impossible to fill a tournament with paying golfers by just getting your friends to play. Finding those that believe in your cause to play is great, BUT.....put yourself in their shoes and think about it logically. If they truly believe in your cause, they would just write you a check. They wouldn't need a golf tournament as a reason to open their check book.

That leads to the final reason, and probably the most important reason golfers play, they are EXCITED! If you can create excitement surrounding your event, then you have them hooked. There are tons of golf tournaments every season in which golfers can participate. It is your job to make them want to play in yours!
