These expenses can also be handled by sponsors. NCFA recommends that other states considering similar raffles review state and local laws before conducting the raffle. Tournament entry fees cover the cost of the event, while tee and green sponsors raise the majority of the funds. The local tournament committee designs, prints, and distributes fliers six to eight weeks prior to the event to area golf courses and forest products businesses to attract teams and sponsors. Additional door prize tickets can also be sold.
Sponsorships involve a sign on a tee or green with the sponsor's name and place of business.
Additionally, each sponsor is recognized at the beginning and end of the event. Door prizes are awarded at the end of the round, along with prizes for the winning teams. Donations can be collected for the beverages distributed during the round. Local distributors are generally very receptive to donating beverages of all kinds. This element helps to bring golfers back next year.
