“WOW!!!! We got the signage for our golf tournament on Friday. What a wonderful job, very impressive. We have 2 large fundraising events each year, our golf tournament, in its 3rd year, and a gala, in its 12th year. We strive to make then both very classy events, something people walk away from saying “That was really great, I want to do it again next year”. Golf Digest just put our Opportuni-TEE Golf Tournament in a league above the rest. We have repeat golfers but this year will definitely by the talk of the clubhouse!!”

– Peggy Himes, Schoharie County ARC

“This year’s event was the most successful golf outing City Mission has ever hosted. Much of the success can be attributed to the Golf Digest Planner and the event package we purchased.

The Golf Digest website enabled the players to register and pay right online. This eliminated countless hours of staff time chasing down enrollment and payment. Using the website potential golfers could read about City Mission charity to determine if they wanted to play. The website also streamlined the pairing process reducing the amount of time the course personnel needed to organize the event.

The signage was top notch giving out sponsors great visibility and recognition and the extra events such as $1,000,000 shot added a level of excitement to the event.

The staff at Golf Digest Planner was great to work with and always available to answer questions and give suggestions to improve the event and go above and beyond the call of duty when required”

“I want to take a moment to thank you for an excellent job. I realize that trying to work with numerous tournaments and their needs on an almost continuous basis, that it sometimes must be more work that it is worth sometimes. I also believe that you probably get many e-mails like this one praising your fine work and help.

I am proud to say that Golf Digest planner played a vital role in the success of the Inaugural CAER Classic. We hosted 148 players, 200 for dinner. Paul Martin from the New Jersey Devils along with 7 other major NHL stars participated, and have told us they will be returning again next year. Our local anchor was so impressed he is playing next year along with emceeing the event. Thank you for a great experience.”

– Lee Ege, Co-Chairman CAER Classic

“Thank you for being so prompt in mailing out all our signs & prize package information. I was very pleased with all the graphics and banners. Your company does a wonderful job. We will be having our fall tournament at a different course and I look forward to working with you again. I am in the process of closing out our tournament and we did sell 43 mulligan packages.”

– Tamra Taylor, David Brainerd Christian School

“Using the Golf Digest Planner Web site was a major plus for our outing and an immense time saver in planning our event. The automated processes – payment, registration, confirmation, etc., and the reports generated by the system were great advantages. Plus, it was very easy to use, and phone support was readily available from the Golf Digest Planner staff, if and when a question arose. If you are planning a golf outing and are not yet using Golf Digest Planner, you should be! It greatly simplifies the process.”

– Jason Cass, 3rd Annual Andy Davenport Memorial

“The Golf Digest Tournament Planner helped us put together a small group event in one month, start to finish. All aspects of the Golf Digest website worked together well, allowing us to recruit sponsors, register players, and accept credit card payments, which eliminates the risk of trying to collect from participants, and ensures the turnout. Even though we had cold and threatening weather on the day of our event – everyone who signed up and paid in the site showed up except one guy who said he was sick. We hope he gets better, but we still have his money for the organization! Next year we’ll expand the concept to a full scramble field, and you can be sure we’ll use the Golf Digest Planner.”

“When I found myself ‘volunteered’ to run a fundraising golf tournament, I became very anxious. But the Golf Digest Planner came to the rescue. It is fantastic. First, a web site to help advertise the tournament. Second, an organizing tool to help track the 101 things needed for the tournament itself. Three, the ready supply of prizes and other proven fundraising options. Fourth, a hole-in-one Shootout feature that can immediately become the ‘big draw’ that your tournament needs. Golf Digest’s customer service response is quick and accurate. And all of it free! Unbelievable, but true.If you’re planning a golf tournament, don’t even think about it without the Golf Digest Planner. It turns your knee-knocker into a gimme.”

We were looking for something to give this tournament a boost. It has been a part of our Homecoming activities for the past 15 years and was lacking the pizzazz it needed. This was it!

We may wranggle up again next year, and if so (and I’m again the director) we should be looking you up. Thanks.”
