~ HELPFUL HINTS ~
Our staff has compiled the following suggestions to help ensure the success of your outing.
Outing Identification There are three basic types of golf outings:
1)Corporate/Client
2)Corporate/Employee Incentive
3)Charity
Clearly identifying the outing type will guide our staff's recommendations on how to make
your event successful.
Registration The registration area is one of the most critical components of any golf outing. It sets the
tone for the entire day. The registration table should be set-up in a highly visible location,
and should be manned two hours prior to the scheduled time for the beginning of play.
Ensure that adequate personnel will be available to maintain a smooth flow of traffic,
keeping the registration area uncongested.
Pace of Play Maintaining an adequate pace of play is an important aspect in ensuring a successful golf
outing. Slow play is annoying to other golfers and can disrupt the timetable for other
planned activities. A quality round of golf should never exceed four hours.
One of the best ways to speed up play is to choose a scramble-scoring format for a large
group. In the scramble format, each team consists of two to four players. On every hole,
each team member drives and the best drive is selected by the team Captain. Each team
member then plays a second shot from the spot where the selected drive lays, and the best
second shot is selected. This process is repeated until the hole is completed. This is the
most popular, and our recommended, format.
The pace of play can be managed by correctly pairing the members of your group by
playing ability, and/or by choosing a format of play that produces timely rounds. Our staff
will also take appropriate measures to guarantee that play progresses at a suitable pace.
Course rangers will monitor play throughout the day. Progress updates will be provided to
appropriate members of our staff to facilitate a smooth flow leading from the conclusion
of play to the start of your banquet (or other outing events).

Shotgun vs. Tee Times Listed below are two standard formats for golf outings.
1) Shotgun Starts
A) Shotgun starts permit all group participants to start and finish at the same time.
This allows the group to remain together for other events (e.g., the entire group
arrives at the banquet at one time). Shotgun starts can be scheduled for either the
early morning or the early afternoon.
B) Speeds up play.
C) Minimum group size of 60 required.
D) Starting time typically limited to 8:00 -9:00 a.m. and 12:00—1:00 p.m.
2) Tee Time Starts
A) Allows for a variety of starting times to suit golfers needs.
B) Can maximize outing capacity.
C) Flexibility allowed for guarantees on group size.
D) Time separation between first and last group
E) Challenging to keep a captive audience for banquet participation
F) Slower speed of play
Contests Contests can be an enjoyable source of entertainment and provide numerous sponsorship
opportunities. They can also generate additional revenue for charity events. However,
don't overload your event with too many contests since too many contests slow down
play.
Here are some suggested contests:
1) Long Drive
2) Closest to the Pin
3) Mulligan Sales
4) Putting Contest
5) Nearest to the Line or Straightest Drive
6) Hit the Target
7) Beat the Pro
Our Staff is happy to assist you in holding these contests!
