What
is the Cincy Golf-a-thon?
The
Cincy Golf-a-thon is a unique twist to the
traditional golf tournament. Unlike most tournaments, there is no entry
fee or mandatory cost to the golfer. Where you would normally
play 18 holes, you play 100! Read on though, because
it’s easier than it sounds!
How
does it work?
Golfers play
in threesomes. All golfers commit to raising a minimum of
$2,500 in pledges. It’s quite simply $25 per
hole. Anyone could get 25 people to give him or her $1 a hole
in the blink of an eye! And…we have everything
that you’ll need to make this happen, including pre-printed
pledge letters to send out to friends, family, co-workers,
etc. Each player can recruit a caddie for the day.
This is someone who can help them find balls, rake sand traps, and
maybe even play a few holes for the golfer. Incentive prizes
are awarded to the top three fundraisers per tournament that raised a
minimum of $2,500, and consist of fabulous trips and much more!
Every golfer
plays a minimum of three balls per hole in a mini-scramble.
You tee off three balls, go to your own personal best ball, and hit
three more. You continue this trend and before you know it
you’ve played your 100 holes while only physically playing
36. Actually, you could even play more balls per hole if
you’d like. That’s the beauty of this tournament,
there are few rules and you don’t have to be an expert golfer
to play! Golfers can play five or six balls on the 3 pars, and that
really speeds things up! You might only end up having to play
20 to 24 holes!
