5 Biggest Myths about Organizing Your Own Successful Golf Tournament

There are many myths about organizing your own successful golf tournament, but in this article, we will focus on the top five that commonly circulate in businesses and organizations.

Myth #1: It’s easy to organize a great golf tournament

This myth is at the top of our list for good reason. At U.S. Golf Tournament Golf we often receive desperate calls from businesses and organizations who did not realize the complexity of organizing a golf tournament and they suddenly found themselves with a failing golf tournament in their hands, even after having put considerable effort into it.

Myth #2: It doesn’t take much time to setup a successful golf tournament

Often, companies and organizations realize only too late that to organize a successful tournament they need to assign considerable human resources and subsequently dedicate many more hours than they originally had planned for it. At U.S. Golf Tournament, we often spend more than 200 hours organizing a single golf tournament.

Myth #3: There are few down sides to being your own event manager for a golf tournament

This one catches most companies and organizations off-guard. At the contrary of what the myth says, there are a variety of downsides to being your own event manager for a golf tournament. We won’t go in too many details here, but one thing is certain: if you are busy running a golf tournament, you can’t be properly running your business at the same time.

Myth #4: Golf Tournaments are almost always profitable

This myth couldn’t be farther from the truth. Unless the golf tournament organizers have extensive experience and skills in managing expenses, attracting sponsors, raise funding and increase players’ participation, the golf tournament is unlikely to be profitable.

Myth #5: Setting up your own event such as a golf tournament is a Win-Win

Most businesses and organizations believe that setting up an event such as a golf tournament can be efficiently done in-house, in most cases the managers and employees that are assigned the task of bringing this event to life have no experience in doing so, and most importantly, they do not have the specialized skills and contacts necessary to make it a success.
