Some examples of non-golf related door golf tournament gifts are trips, weekend lodging at local hotels, gift certificates, lunch or dinner for two, tickets to sporting events or theaters, etc.

Some golf-related golf tournament gifts are items such as logo golf clubs, golf balls, tickets for two rounds of golf, etc. Not all of the above golf tournament gifts or items need to be considered part of the budget.

Many business organizations may donate golf tournament gifts and items to a golf tournament to increase company visibility, especially if it is for a charitable cause.

Most travel agencies have available special promotional trips and may donate a trip to all events sponsored by a client as golf tournament gifts. The same is true for weekend lodging at a local hotel.

Contact various golf merchandise stores for donations or gift certificates. Contact restaurants asking for gift certificates for two, for either lunch or dinner as golf tournament gifts.

When making contact, ask for the manager and explain the purpose of your golf tournament.

You'll be surprised at the number of positive responses received, especially when the golf tournament is for a good charitable cause.

Delegate as many people as possible in collecting free golf tournament prize gift certificates from restaurants. It is also surprising how many sponsoring companies will donate a door golf tournament prize for additional recognition.

Since collecting free door golf tournament gifts is not difficult, for profit minded golf tournaments, do not budget for golf tournament gifts and only give the donated door gifts away.

If profit is not a major concern, but you only want to break even, a door golf tournament gifts budget is necessary.

When preparing the preliminary balance sheet do not include a cost for golf tournament gifts.

If excess income is projected use the profit for purchasing door golf tournament gifts. Since gifts can be bought as late as a day before the golf tournament wait until it is evident excess cash is available.

Insurance can be purchased to cover the golf tournament gifts offered for making a hole in one on a designated hole.

Golf tournament gifts given can be trips, cars, boats, etc. HIO (hole in one) golf tournament gifts will be a drawing card to the golf tournament as well as adding more fun and prestige to the golf tournament.

Costs for a hole in one insurance varies depending on the type of golf tournamenet gifts given away.

When obtaining insurance, before agreeing with the terms, become familiar with the coverage and avoid pitfalls that have put some golf tournament gifts at risk.

As an example, a lady made a hole in one from the ladies tee, which was voided, since she did not play from the tee box set aside for the event.

Sport memorabilia has always been a big hit at golf tournaments as golf tournament prizes, gifts and awards. Because there is a lot of non-authentic memorabilia in the market place, you must be careful when choosing your autographed items and the like. Otherwise, it could be embarrassing for the giver as well as the receiver - not to mention a waste of money for everyone involved.

Imagine awarding a framed Tiger Woods Autographed 'Youngest to 50 PGA Tour Wins' Breaking Through to one of your lucky and appreciative participants. This would make for a VERY memorable experience and establish your golf tournament events as top notch.
