I’m planning on attending a pro golf tournament soon, but I really don’t want to be stuck in the eighth row of a standing gallery for the entire day. Any tips as to how I can get to an area I can see the players? I assume it works better to stay at one hole all day rather than trying to follow a group, but if there are any other good strategies to keep in mind, let me know.

I went to the PGA Championship at Medinah for 3rd round and found this to be a good strategy. Started off early just walking the course. Go 1-18, or go backwards 18-1 to see more players. This gives you a nice overview of the course, and also let’s you see best spots to view from. We then took a couple approaches. Sat in stands at 11th? hole, just to watch a bunch of players come through. Then went to 1st tee to watch some of the bigger names tee off. After Tiger teed off, a ton of people obviously went and followed him, so instead of getting lost in a crowd, we went to the 18th grandstands which emptied out quite a bit with Tiger on the course. Stayed there for the rest of the day and saw everyone come through, watched the leaderboard, and when Tiger and the rest of the leaders came on through, we already had the perfect seats instead of having to fight the crowds of everyone that rushes up at the end of the day.

Walk course. Choose a couple spots to watch for a while. Then camp out at 18 around mid-day to watch everyone, see leaderboard, and avoid crowds.

I have been tasked to put together a charity event golf tournament benefiting the Special Olympics. The thing is I have never done anything of this magnatude before. What is involved? How do you get things donated. I’ve been to numerous ones and paid the $500 registration fees but always took it for granted and never really paid much attention to the details. I figured, I paid, Things just happen. Now the shoes on the other foot. I am proud and honored to be putting togather this tourney for such a wonderful cause with ALL proceeds going to the special olympics, I just need some help.

Hosting a charity golf tournament can be extremely difficult, but very rewarding. I used to volunteer for a charity golf tournament that my friend ran and we had a blast, but it was a ton of work.

The link covers many of the important points of running a charity tournament.

Good luck and have fun!
