Make more money from your golf classic

In this "difficult" year, many are finding it very hard to fill time sheets for golf classics.
One simple solution that I came across in the USA is to use your own grounds.
This of course is only suitable for certain clubs, schools and associations.
The idea is that you"make " an 18 or 27 hole course on your own grounds. This does not need to be long. It can be almost crazy -golf like.
This system has many advantages. The course can be mapped out and mown in a few hours.
You can be much more inclusive with the entry by including kids and of course adults who would not normally play golf.
The big winner is the organiser. As the "classic" is held on own grounds, all proceeds therefore go to the organiser. You can charge teams a lot less and thereby automatically get more entries. You can still have all your sponsors including tee sponsors.

The Mini Golf Classic could be your organisations money winner for 2009.
