4 Golf Event Sponsorship & Fundraising Ideas You’ve Never Heard Of

If you are planning a golf fundraising event, then lining up sponsors is likely one of your top priorities. Finding clever and effective ways of offering sponsorships that give the sponsor a way to engage the golf event participants is easier said than done. We’ll skip the traditional options that you've probably heard of and introduce some new and exciting fundraising and sponsorship options.

Wheel Of Fore! Cards

The Wheel Of Fore! Cards is a 14 space spin wheel with each space containing a helpful action that can be used by all members of the team on the hole. When a group gets to the tee box of a hole, they get a chance to spin the wheel and use whatever space they land on to help them.

Let’s say a group is on a par 5 and they land on the ‘Tee Up’ space. This means they can tee the ball up at any point in the hole. After the drive, they choose to tee the ball up so that they can hit drivers and reach the green in two. Now they have a chance for an eagle!

Alternatively, the group lands on the ‘Putt Pass’ card. When they get to the green the team can attempt a Putt Pass by having all players hit the putt while it is still moving with the last player trying to make the putt. All of the sudden, a 30 footer seems very makeable!

The Wheel of Fore! Cards adds fun and strategy to a hole and gives teams a chance to make an eagle (or better)! The event can ask teams to ‘pay’ or ‘donate’ for a spin and even charge for second or third spins if they want to try for something better. The center piece of the wheel can also be customized for an additional sponsorship opportunity!

The Wheel of Fore! Cards gives event planners both an opportunity to drive more revenue and adds a fun twist to the hole!

Fun Hole Contests and Formats

Most golf events are in a scramble format. This format creates a fun team atmosphere and reduces the pressure of a traditional round of golf. But even scrambles can get boring, especially when a team is only using shots from 1 or 2 of the best players.

Fore-Mat tee signs make each hole a fun and unique challenge. For example, the ‘Relay Throw’ allows the teammates to throw the ball to another teammate and if caught, can be thrown to the next teammate until the ball is dropped or the last player throws it. In another example, ‘One Club’, the team must select one club to play the entire hole with until reaching the green.

If you’re looking for some fun and strategic challenges to integrate into your golf event, Fore! Cards makes it easy with pre-made tee signs! Having a hole sponsor for the challenge is a great way for a brand to stand out and engage with the golfers.

Random Club Challenge

Most events will have a closest to the pin challenge on par 3’s. Why not spice it up by having players tee off with a club selected at random?

The Random Tee Shot challenge requires each player to roll a 12-sided dice with each side representing a club. Players roll the Random Club Dice and must use whatever club they land on for their tee shot. Imagine trying to hit a driver into a 100 yard par 3. Prizes can be awarded for hitting the green or you can sell ‘mulligans’ where players can get another chance but have to roll the dice again. This fun challenge levels the playing field and adds a fun and challenging element to the hole.

Replace Traditional Mulligans

Mulligans are great in concept. They can generate significant revenue for the event and give teams a chance to score better which results in more fun. But let’s be honest, mulligans are pretty boring and have no guarantee of actually helping the team.

Instead of selling the traditional mulligans, you can take this concept to the next level and provide golfers with more interactive and strategic options to help them score better. Fore! Keeps Card Packs contain various actions that the team can perform to give them an advantage throughout the round. Actions like throwing the ball, teeing it up from anywhere, or moving up to the next tee box are guaranteed to add a fun twist to the event.

Let’s say a team hits a great second shot on a par 5 but it ends up in a greenside bunker. Instead of having to pick a different shot or trying an unsuccessful mulligan, they can use the Dominant Arm Throw card to throw it out of the bunker close to the hole without taking a stroke. Now they are putting for eagle! These cards will encourage strategy, team camaraderie, and will make the round a lot more fun!

Finding new and exciting ways for sponsors to engage with golfers and create a memorable experience can be difficult. Luckily, Fore! Cards has a ton of options for golf events to make your event more fun while creating opportunities for more sponsorship revenue.
