Golf Scramble for fundraiser...

A silent auction really helps

Also consider going 3 person teams with two teams on each hole. Adds in some extra money and helps keep groups somewhat honest as you can be in a charity scramble lol

Standard mulligan/red blast package is a meh for me

If you know any pros you can get them to hit a drive for the team or shot on par 3 for a donation. That’s a pretty cool one that I’ve seen

We do a 3 hole challenge on a par 3 as a fundraiser. Make a donation at a set amount and you can play to any hole.

Can also do closest to the pin/ long drive for a donation….most golf shops will donate a club or cheap bag for each of those

raffle bottles of bourbon that are hard to come by

A cool fundraiser is have a putting contest for bottles of booze. Set various bottles around the practice green for X amount per putt. Obviously make the more expensive bottles a harder putt. The ego's tend to take over and people start throwing money around pretty quickly.

U club had a T shirt cannon that shot tennis balls onto the green as your tee shot on the par 3. You got a shot for each donation and you could play 1 from wherever the tennis ball ended up. That was a fun one. Lots of 1’s and 2’s on the card there

The only explanation I can come up with for these types is that they have nothing else in their life to be proud of, so pencil whipping people they've never met just to win a meaningless prize gives them some type of satisfaction.

Usually its a similar set of losers at every tournament

DO=A par 3 "Vegas Hole". You bet whatever you want (cash or have venmo/paypal/ApplePay capabilities there), if your tee shot finishes on the green they double your money, if you lose it then your bet money goes towards the fundraiser. **Must have an attendant at green to witness.

DO=If you have 2 groups per tee box, have all 8 tee off & play at same time! This speeds it up & allows the each group to keep each others scores so no cheating. Cannot stress this enough, it greatly cuts down the time, nobody likes a 6hr round of golf.

DON'T=Put 2 vendors per tee box, but if you must since it's extra fundraising money then make sure they are sidexside or at same area across cart path from one another. It's terrible to have 1 tent everybody stops at 20 yards before the tee box, then you get to the box & next tent just to tell that poor vendor "no thanks I just ate/got a drink from them". This is where depending on what industry this is, if you have the chance put 2 vendors that could work together, or at least not be competitors

I vote DO=I see some posters don't care for the "pro shop credit" gift/ditty bag, but I love it. I've played a couple that gave $100 credit to use on whatever you wanted from Clubs, Bags, Shoes, Belts, Socks, Balls, Polos, Jackets, Shorts, Pants, or Hats and I preferred that over being given another stainless cup and a polo or hat that I don't particularly care for. Want to buy a $300 wood, put your $100 credit towards it & pay the rest

Played a four-man scramble at Cypress Bend that benefited the now defunct NSU golf team. They had players from the team that for a donation would hit drives on some par 4's or shots to par 3's. I was the bell cow for my team. Get to number 17 par 3 and the first 3 players on my team miss the green. So the NSU player from the team gets up and starts loosening up before I hit. I say, hold my beer to my fellow teammates. Knock it to a foot of the hole. Still gave him a 20.

I had absolutely zero idea people really cared about scoring in a darn charity scramble and that cheating in those got people so worked up. Learn something everyday
