SUNBELT
SENIOR PROFESSIONAL GOLF TOUR
EVENT BUDGET-MODEL
Preface,
The Sunbelt Senior Professional Golf Tour for 14 years, has
been successfully used as a prime component of golfing events.
We are not event planners rather, a success proven element to
assist in achieving event goals. The cost for adding this element
is $20,000+ per event. Staging an event that ties into a professional
tournament with a first class pro/am raises the bar when evaluating
the stature of an event. Because of the inherent value of adding
this component to the event venue, charges for the various income
streams can be elevated to more than offset our fees and as
this model will show, will contribute greatly to the bottom
line the benefits of which, can be enjoyed by the sponsor, needy
causes and/or charities. This model may appear to be aggressive
to some. It is realistic. Six years ago, one of our sponsors
was able to generate $10,000 in net proceeds to his chosen charity.
The proceeds grew each year. This year the net proceeds, including
all recoverable costs, exceeded $100,000.00.
VENUE:
SENIOR PROFESSIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENT - 3 DAYS; PRO/AM FIRST 2
DAYS OF 3
MANAGED
BY: THE SUNBELT SENIOR PROFESSIONAL GOLF TOUR; 36 PROFESSIONAL
PLAYERS
THE
PROFESSIONAL TOURNAMENT AND PRO/AM EVENT
The
Pro/Am event will be played on the first two days and in conjunction
with the professional tournament. 36 Professionals will play
with 36 (4 amateurs) pro/am teams in a scramble or "shamble"
format using the pro's recorded tournament score (when/where
needed) as he plays a normal medal score or in effect, his own
ball. Lower number of amateur players move play faster (e.g.,
threesomes) but in so doing, will lower income forecasts as
detailed below.
The
event starts with a pairing party the evening before (or the
morning of) the event. After a golf clinic, a 10:00 A.M. shotgun
start for both pro/am days with continental breakfasts (2),
light box lunches for both days; light cocktail party after
first pro/am day and an awards banquet follows the conclusion
of the Pro/Am. The final day, after a continental breakfast,
the pros tee-off in threesomes around 8:00 A.M. & conclude
the tournament with lunch and check awards.
