Richard,
Vision 21
Thank you for asking about Golf Events. (The Dennis Taylor Golf Classic)
I am creating a UK Model for Charity Golf Events called the Golf Hub - Here id the Business Modal / Vision 21.
It a shotgun star golf day
The format is you charge £300 per team = £5400
You pay the club about £100 x 18 for the hire of the course £1800
Leaving you £3600 to play with. You provide Drinks at reception and food after the event say £10 / 18 x4 = £720 say £1000
Leaving you with £3600
Decent entertainer will cost you about £300 then there are prizes to be considered.
At the end of the day you make say £2,000.
But you can increase that by saying it is for charity and you get companies to donate prizes - one popular source is Manchester United / City football shirts Signed.
You hopefully will get a large selection of prizes to raffle of - people tend to give generously at charity events - I bought a pair of football boots once and paid over the odds.
I am working on a Party in the Park Golf Day at Hazel Grove where I will only charge £200 per team entry as I will be running a separate pig Roast bbq at £10 per head.
Put on a band called the 3 Northern Monkey. - and see if John Atherton will play as well. I am arranging this for 24th June and will be inviting 18 professionals to play at a cost of £101 per professional for a Professional Prize of £1500. (£300 to pay for the band).
Each pro will have to run a Qualifying competition to determine his team that will say bee 100 entrants at £5 per head. The pro will make £500 for himself from this so will be expected to make a donation for the prize raffle - say a golf bag or golf shirt / ball.
So the Adam Bramwell Charity Golf Day will become the Adam Bramwell Golf Classic an annual event - a professional Golf Tournament.
If if takes off an the pros are onboard I will eventually make it an All Professional Daily event with the entrance fee being £500 per pro and we will run a parallel Shotgun Start ay Withington Golf Club - Pairing individuals with professional for a pro -Am trophy.
It is looking like the Dennis Taylor Classic will be the Am Am portion of that event
