Sponsorship
Money is vital to the survival of golf clubs, but with so many clubs seeking limited funding opportunities, what can you do to help make your club more sustainable?
Many golf clubs (large and small), are keen to engage in sponsorship opportunities in their local communities. Building relationships with local businesses through sponsors golf days, the PGA Pro-Am Series, Charity Golf Days and the Holden Scramble can benefit everyone.
Sponsorship is an excellent way for your club to raise revenue while raising the profile of the organisation that is sponsoring you. You must remember when seeking sponsorship that any agreement you come to will be a two-way thing. Your club will be expected to honour obligations to maintain the sponsorship.
