As a first time golf tournament organizer (and perhaps even a first time golfer!) it can sometimes feel overwhelming trying to learn the ins-and-outs of the game, let alone a great golf event. And when you’re dealing with terms you’ve never heard of before, from “Shotgun Start” to “Live Scoring” – it can be easy to feel lost in translation! That's why we've collected and defined the top 27 terms every charity golf tournament organizer should know, and even take it one step further by telling you how they can apply to your upcoming tournament. Follow the link to read about these key terms: https://loom.ly/UNjA6A8 #GolfTournament #GolfTournamentPlanning #EventPlanning #Golf #GolfTerms #CharityGolf #GolfEvent

Charity golf outings miss the ball when it comes to maximizing your fundraising. Today I had the privilege of talking with a board member of a local nonprofit. He was sharing with me about his golf outing woes. His organization was having a hard time seeing past event based fundraising, as a result they've not been moving toward major gift fundraising. Here are a few of the things he said to me: "People want to give, but they don't like golf, so they don't give!" "People miss the event, and all I've done is tell them, 'I hope you make it next year!'" "Our event makes about $15,000, but nearly all of it is from a single person, and he usually gives away the things he buys. He doesn't care about the auction or the event, he just wants to give." So I said to this board member: "Why don't you cancel next years golf outing and go meet with the fellow who is responsible for all the giving. Instead of wasting 60 hours planning your event, take 2 hours to have a meal with this donor. In the meeting, thank him for all of his giving in the past, explain to him why you are no longer doing the event, and ask him if you could talk with him about a 5 year pledge in the 6-7 figure range. You will get more money in those 2 hours than you did in 60 hours on that golf tournament." This is what fundraising coaching does. It helps you see the blind spots in your strategies and approaches, and make better use of your time. Fundraising coaching isn't cheap, but it's certain to make you far more money than it costs.

🧩✨ #AutismAwareness Top 36 Golf Course Rankings: Post 24 - Course #13⛳️ 🧩 💰 DONATE - Please help us get there by donating $36 today: https://lnkd.in/e4MFcQfd To represent the 1 in 36 kids affected by Autism in the US, I will be counting down my Top 36 Golf Courses that I have ever played with a short story/memory for each. If you could please consider donating $36 (or more) to Els for Autism via the link above, I would appreciate it ❤️ Golf Course #13 - Yeamans Hall Club Is it possible to capture the beauty, history, and vibe of an entire state into a single golf course? For the state of South Carolina, I believe Yeamans Hall does just that. Sitting just 12 miles from downtown Charleston and designed by one of my favorites, Seth Raynor, in 1924, Yeamans Hall sits on land that used to be the site of a 17th century plantation owned by the Yeamans family. When the country club was founded, it was built to attract wealthy northern financial men to Charleston in the fall and winter with 200-300 house sites. Today, it continues to be a successful private club with what I imagine to be one of the toughest waiting lists to add your name to in the country. What makes Yeamans Hall my favorite in South Carolina? People have asked me when making this list what criteria I’ve used, and it really comes down to three things: 1) The feeling you have when playing it, 2) How well you can remember each hole after the round, and 3) How badly you want to tee it up again on #1 after tapping in on #18. Maybe I’m biased because I grew up in SC, but for me, I’ve never played a course which puts me in a calmer/happier mental state and one where I want to tee it up again on #1 after I’m finished than Yeamans. It’s just such a fun course to play! If you have had the pleasure of playing it, I’m curious to hear if you enjoyed it as much as me ⛳️
