Does anyone one have good advise for planning a company golf outing?

The attendies will be employees, vendors, and clients.Does anyone one have good advise for planning a company golf outing?
pretty easy. just get some catering. Have it in a tournament format(if there are enough people). You need to reserve the course for tourmant tee times.


I've actually been to tournaments that had tents w/ strippers in them between some holes. This probably isn't appropriate for your buisness tournament thou.Does anyone one have good advise for planning a company golf outing?
First of all, make sure that participants pre-register, so you know exactly how many people are coming to the outing. This will help you figure out the food and number of golf carts needed.





Solicite the vendors for door prizes and gifts. Most vendors have a budget for this and may even have golf appropriate gifts such as golf balls, hats, and shirts.





Shotgun start is a must. This means all of the foursomes are assigned to a hole to start at at a specific time. Also put the names of the players on the golf carts and the hole they are supposed to start at.





You may want to try the best ball format instead of the traditional best score format. Each foursome hits a ball and then they select the best shot and all take their next shot from that point. This gives everyone a chance to do something well that day, instead of having a real bad day on their own.





If you are providing refreshments on the course, it is probably best to wait an hour or two before you start serving alcohol. Otherwise people will get too loaded. You can also provide two drink tickets to each player. Anything beyond that is their own cash.





Try to not put competitive vendors in the same foursome. It could be unpleasant for the other players.





Cater the lunch/dinner in a self serve buffet line. This will cut down on serving time and staffing.





Gives lots of smaller prizes instead of one big prize. Don't drag out the awards too long, some people might want to get going and will feel trapped.
I've played in company outings before. You'll probably have all kinds of skill levels out there......some good, some bad. I'd suggest having the tournament in a scramble format. Have some food available at the turn or after everyone's played. Have some freebies to give out for longest drive (mens %26amp; womens), longest putt (mens %26amp; womens), %26amp; closest-to-the-pin on a par3 (mens %26amp; womens). You also might considering buying a keg of beer, but some companies might frown on that.
Break them up into groups of four. Each group should include clients, vendors, and employees. You could have it based on their skill level as well. Have prizes for the best golf scores. Have a catered lunch and have someone ride around in the golf cart with snacks and drinks. Make sure to reserve the course for the day.
Stacey,





Not sure what part you need planned, but here it goes.





';Tournament format'; - I would recommend a scramble. That way, play keeps moving fairly well, nobody has an individual score that they might get embarassed about, and everybody has a good time.





For gifts or prizes, use what is called the ';Flight'; system. The top finishers on in the first flight, then there is a cutoff (selected arbitrarily) for the second flight, and so-on, that way teams that are not as good can still win something.





Get the event catered, and check into golf courses with a banquet hall, or picnic area to set up food, and give out prizes.





As for the players, make sure you get a solid count and divide them into teams of four. Depending on the number of groups, a shotgun start might be required. A shotgun start is where all the teams start simultaneously on the holes of a golf course. Think of it like Team A starts on the 1st hole, B starts on the 2nd hole, etc and they all play the 18 holes of the course. That way, everyone starts and finishes at the same time.





Good luck, hope you all have a good time.

Hi, understand that you have plan for a company golf outing, on hand i got a golf %26amp; relax package at A'Famosa Resort, Malacca, Malaysia.

Hear a lot of ppl saying that, A'Famosa Resort, Malacca offers an international championship golf course designed by renowned Australian golf course architect, Ross C. Watson and is rated one of the top ten golf course in Malaysia.
Usually the only decision you really need to make is the venue. Once you've decided on the course you'd like to hold your event at, call the sales director and tell them what you want to do. I'm sure you'll find them all too ready to help you plan your event. If you're price conscious call two or three in your area and work with them to put together packages so you have some options. I've put together events this way in an easy afternoon of phone calls.
