GoMeanGreen.com Indoor Golf Tournament to Benefit NIL?

[C Rod]

How many other golfers do we have on GMG? 

I think an annual GMG indoor golf tournament could be a fun, unique experience and could be setup so the proceeds go to the NIL Light The Tower Collective.

I play golf.  Not sure I would classify myself as a golfer, though.

I am not very good but love to play.  Would be very interested in something like this.

That's okay because since we're fundraising for a good cause, we could use this to our advantage and encourage players to purchase mulligans for $5 - $10 a pop. Don't like your last shot? Buy another!

We could even setup one bay to have a closest to the pin competition with a prize. Everyone who wants to play has to buy in at $50. Each additional shot after that is $35 or purchase four attempts for $100. 

For those who don't play golf, 1611 also has a gastropub with TV playing sports. A raffle at the door would allow non-golfers to participate and win donated UNT swag prizes. Maybe, just maybe, a generous UNT Hub Club season ticket holder will donate some HUB Club Tickets to raffle away. 

Would be great to have a GMG corporate title sponsor that could cover the costs of the rental bays and the UNT raffle give-aways.

Sounds like you have an idea of what and how to do it.  I say, move ahead with the plans and let us know what we can do to help.

Crunching the numbers... The cost to rent out 1611 Golf on a Saturday for 3 hours (10 am-1 pm) is $1,750. Included is all 8 Trackman hitting bays with 4 golfers per bay. This would allow for a 32 player, single-round tournament. If I can land a corporate sponsor to cover the cost for the rental bays in exchange for online and in-person exposure, 100% of the entry fees would go to the LTTC NIL.

Big questions is, what is the right entry fee price point to lock-in 32 players while still being able to donate a good chunk of change to the LTTC NIL? Entry fee of $125? (32 players x $125 = $4000) Curious to hear the board's thoughts.

Timing wise, I'm thinking Saturday August 26th, one week before we kickoff the season vs Cal.

or you guys could all just donate some money to the collective and come drink beer at my house.  I have an indoor sim. and its really all about the beer drinking is it not?

How about a bowling tournament too?  That meets the "indoor" requirement, and goes well with beer drinking. 😉

 

 

Truth in advertising: I'm neither a golfer or a bowler, and I don't drink much beer...
