Susan B. Koman Tournament Idea

There are so many fun ideas to incorporate in the Pink Ribbon tournaments. This might be new to you!
Each 4some is given a Pink Ball with their names on it. That Pink Ball must be returned at the end of the round. (Putting the names on the ball keeps everyone honest!) Each player must play with the Pink Ball at least twice during the round. At the awards all the "returned" Pink Balls can be put in a basket. The foursome that is pulled can win a "Play with the Pro" round –or at least play with him a few holes.

Happy Birthday Theme for Each Hole!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY-Another inexpensive theme to consider is "Happy Birthday!" Each hole celebrates a month and the golfer who was born in that particular month gets a special gift. The" gift" could be a "mulligan" to be used anywhere during the play of that hole. Perhaps one stroke could be taken off the total score of the Birthday Hole. Decorations are inexpensive and easy-balloons, party hats, goodie bags… The centerpiece on each table could be a small birthday cake with candles! What could be simpler!

Pink Flag Tournament Idea

Plant the Pink Flag.  Everyone is given a Pink Flag with their Name and Perfect Net Score. As you play the round you keep a running total of your score. When your total score reaches the combination of your Handicap plus your actual score you Plant the Flag! If you have a 20 handicap and the course Par is 71 when you reach 91 you plant the flag. The person who plants the flag at the furthest point on the course is the winner!

Color Theme for Golf & Tennis Tournaments

Easy tournament idea for golf or tennis.  Choose a color-purple, blue, green and use that theme throughout. Golfers might call it Rub of the Green and wear green and all awards are green for example, plants, eco-friendly gifts...  Tennis players could pick Red -For the LOVE of the Game.  Everyone wears Red, awards are red such as socks, visors or bottles of red wine!   

Gold is over $1500 an ounce. Consider VERMEIL as an alternative.

Now that gold is over $1500 an ounce VERMEIL is an affordable consideration. VERMEIL looks like 14K yellow gold however; it is a fraction of the price.  In order to qualify as gold vermeil a piece of jewelry must have a base of sterling silver.  The gold layer with which the silver is plated must be at least 10K gold and the layer must be at least 2 ½ microns of thickness.  Consider vermeil as an alternative while the $$ of gold is prohibitive!

Lottery Tickets-Better than a Birthday Card-Inexpensive Goodie Bag Gift

After spending ten minutes looking for a birthday card for my husband, I walked away empty handed. The cards were too sappy, too silly or too sexist! As I was leaving I stopped and bought him a $2 scratch lottery ticket. After listening to his lecture about "nobody wins these things," he proceeded to scratch off two winning numbers and won ten dollars! So the next time you need to get a birthday or anniversary card just grab a lottery ticket. Even if they don't win, half the fun is the anticipation while "scratching!

Golf Game that all level players can win. Easy to record.

DOTS & PUTTS GAME


Fun golf game to play with players of different playing ability. On the scorecard record a DOT for every DRIVE that lands on the FAIRWAY. It does not matter if it is only 30 yards out! That player gets a DOT. Next, record everyone's PUTTS. At the end of the round add the DOTS & PUTTS. For example, Mary had 13 DOTS and 36 PUTTS. Subtract 13 from 36 for a TOTAL SCORE for Mary of 23. Margaret had 10 DOTS and 40 PUTTS for a TOTAL SCORE of 30. Mary won since her total score (23) was lower than Margaret's (30)! You decide the prize
