Miniature
Golf Charity Tournaments
The charity or good cause makes
money. If it’s for the local
scouts/girl guides or other local organisation, players get the chance to play
who may not be able to afford it otherwise.
The players have a good time.
The course owner gets free
publicity and the opportunity to introduce their facilities to the players.
They also have the chance of new members, sales of ices, drinks and other
sundries.
Who organises?
There is some useful information here about organising a mini golf tournament.
If you offer the course for
free then the charity/good cause should do the organisation, sort out the prizes
(you can offer some free game tickets), advertise etc.
However, you have chosen to host this event so you will need to help. You
have committed to this event, if it doesn't work it will reflect badly on your
business. So make it work!
A normal working day if
you’re feeling very generous or are passionate about a particular cause.
At a slack time or when
you’re not normally open.
Or over the whole day where
players add, say £1, to their round fee for entry into the competition.

Exall. I was fortunate
enough to win the RNLI competition on Hastings seafront, England in 2006. The
Royal National Lifeboat Institute people enjoyed hosting it and made a few quid,
we enjoyed playing it and raising money for a good cause. The course let them
host the competition for free, so good feelings all round.
So - it was Win, Win, Win!
