Golf Tournament- On Course Activities

[MarketingManager2016]

Hi There,

My company is hosting a golf tournament at a very nice course in California. The group of people we work with are very mixed when it comes to being serious and fun. Some enjoy fun/silly games and other strictly want to play golf. One of the booths on the course will be a trivia booth about our company's history, but I am trying to come up with another booth on the course with a golf related activites.

 

Anyone have anything that was pretty successful with a mixed crowd?

 

Thanks!

Food is good around the tenth hole, you could still go with a golf theme:

Pimento cheese sandwich (Augusta tradition), Arnold Palmer the drink (ice tee and lemonade),...

is there a traditional golf alcoholic drink?  Perhaps a Scottish ale.

Good luck with the planning. Whatever you decide to do in your hospitality booths, don't follow the lead of this tournament organizer!

Oh my goodness! Thank you and the course we are on would never allow that! That sounds like something from the 70's!

It's a shotgun start with boxed lunches around 12. :)

 

I am thinking of making one of the booths a specific drink that would be a good idea. Only problem was last year we did this and the player er...well took advantage of it. I'm thinking maybe a margarita booth or sangria booth?

Try driving a marshmallow for distance.  You can have a prize for men, women, or any other categories you want.

Take a par 3 and make it into a dart board type thing, where the closer they get to the pin the better the prize/drink they can get.

A $10,000 prize on a long par 3 is fairly common (or some other dollar amount).  The company I work for did that, we bought insurance to cover the low possibility that we had a payout.  The cost for the insurance was around two to three hundred dollars best I can recall.

Looong putt! This is a fun one for the individual golfers on each team:

At the turn (9th hole), have a long putt contest on the practice green. Set up a 40-foot sidehill, double breaker. Have closest to the hole prize, plus a special prize if someone sinks it.
