Straightest Drive Contest: Fundraising Contest Idea #5

The Straightest Drive Contest
Like the longest drive contest, you should choose a hole that is pretty straight and long for your straightest drive contest.

For this charity golf contest, you will want to place a chalk line running down the center of the fairway. The golfer who hits the ball closest to the line is declared the winner.

As with your other golf contests, this one represents an opportunity to sell a tournament sponsorship, complete with a sponsor sign.  Have a digital copy of a logo that you’d like us to apply to the sign? Email it over and we’ll do so for no extra charge!

Increase Sponsorship Sales with a Closest to the Pin Contest

The Closest to the Pin Contest
Like the hole in one contest, a closest to the pin contest is also traditionally held on a par 3 hole and frequently on the same hole as a hole in one contest.

As you have probably guessed, the golfer who hits the ball closest to the hole is the winner. You’ll want to have a measuring tape near the green so you can measure any shots are very close.  And as with the longest drive, you should plan on having one contest for men and one for women.

As with all of the other contests, running a closest to the pin contest is yet another opportunity to sell a sponsorship and a golf tournament sponsor sign, which helps raise additional money for your charity.

The Longest Drive Contest: A Sponsorship Sales Opportunity

The Longest Drive Contest
Most golfers participating in your charity golf tournament will be familiar with the concept of a longest drive contest.

As the name implies, the goal of a longest drive contest is to hit the longest and straightest drive where the ball comes to rest in the fairway.  The golf course that is hosting your charity golf tournament can provide you with a marker to track the distance of the longest drive in order to identify your winners.  You should plan on having one contest for men and another for women. And of course, you’ll want to select holes that are fairly straight and long.

Proper advertisement is an integral part of any successful golf outing, so it’s no wonder that a longest drive contest represents an added opportunity for raising money via sign and sponsorship sales.

The Putting Contest: Another Fundraising Opportunity

Looking for another great contest to add to your charity golf event? It’s easy to run a fundraising putting contest before, during or after your event!

As with the golf shootout and hole in one contest, a putting contest represents another opportunity to sell additional sponsorships and raise more money. You can also collect additional donations from tournament participants to participate in your putting contest, particularly if it’s for major prize, such as a new car or $50,000!

Hole In One International insures both single putt (50 ft. or longer) and combination putt-putting contests (10 ft –> 30 ft –> 50+ ft).  Don’t want to leave your contestants empty-handed if they can’t successfully hole the first two putts of the combination putting contest?  Throw in a small prize such as a sleeve of golf balls and/or a t-shirt on behalf of your organization!

The Hole In One Contest

The Hole In One Contest
A hole in one contest is by far the most popular charity golf tournament contest.  Held on a par three, a hole in one contest rewards anyone making a hole-in-one with a prize. Hole in one prizes can be anything from big screen televisions or sets of clubs to new automobiles or a substantial cash prizes.

While some charity golf tournament organizers have local businesses donate prizes, if you want your event to stand out, insuring a spectacular, attention-grabbing prize with a hole in one insurance company, such as Hole In One International, has multiple benefits. Not only will the big prize – such as the chance to win $10,000, $100,000 or even $1,000,000, attract attention, you can raise additional money by selling a hole-in-one sponsorship package.

Hole In One International is happy to help you select the right hole-in-one package to suit your sponsor as well as your budget.
