Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

ParFore Charity held its first golf tournament in June of 2008. The tournament was started as a slight to my brother-in-law. Since 2004 he has hosted a “men only” tournament and has refused to let women play. So, I decided to start my own tournament and make it a charity event, and the only way men can play is if they pay double the entry fee and play in a skirt. Since then the organization has taken on a position of service to our local community. To date ParFore Charity has donated over $1800.00 to charities in the Omaha Metropolitan area.

The tournament has also proven to be great event that allows the lady golfers to spend a few hours building social capital, sharing thoughts and ideas, without the interruption from the demands of daily family life.

The winning charity is determined in a drawing. Each player writes down the name of a local non-profit charity and a winner is drawn at the end of the tournament. We feel this allows every charity an equal chance of winning. $10.00 of each entry fee, plus money raised through the sale of raffle tickets, mulligan’s, and birdie holes, goes to the winning non-profit charity.
