Resource Round Up: June 17, 2008 The Golf Outing Edition

Over the course of the next week, I will be working on an investigation of golf outings as a fundraising tool. I will be writing from my own experience, as well as interviewing folks from the golf outing industry.

To get the ball rolling, here are three interesting articles I have come across recently about this kind of fundraising event. I hope you enjoy these links, as well as the upcoming installments of this series.

Thanks!

First of all, I discovered a useful article entitled “Great Golf Gift Ideas for This Year’s Golf Tournament” over at the About.com page called “Rob’s Event Planning Blog”.

If you’ve ever participated in a golf outing before, this article might make you laugh. There are a few PG-13 remarks in the text, but it is funny if you’ve been through the experience. The name of the blog is “Grateful Blue” and the title of the post is “Golf Outings for Dummies”.

This last article talks about an alternative to the traditional golf outing called the “Downtown Petoskey/Bay Harbor Shopping Scramble”. While there is no actual golf involved, the rules and the concepts are taken directly from this fundraising approach. Ingenious idea. There are two links to this idea. Check them both out for a complete picture.
