A new golf money-making idea for golfers, entrepreneurs and anyone looking to make extra income in something other than a 40 hour a week job was announced this week.
The U.S. Putting Tour provides a
golf business opportunity through its year-long local tournaments that qualify golfers to compete in the USPT National Championship. Any individual, charity or golf club can host and run one or more of these local
putting tournaments for amateur golfers.
Running a USPT local qualifying event is very simple. The U.S. Putting Tour website provides step-by-step instructions on what to do, starting with i
dentifying a course or practice facility to hold the USPT qualifying event. There are many benefits to a course by hosting a USPT tournament, including attracting new golfers and selling food, beverages and merchandise to participants and spectators.
Entrepreneurs who run a USPT qualifying tournament are able to download material for their event at the USPT website, including sign-up forms, flyers, scorecards, and the USPT logo if they want to create banners and other signage. The USPT also provides USPT National Championship registration forms, which the tournament promoter completes following a qualifying event and sends in to the USPT along with the $250 qualifier's entry fee into the finals of the championship.
The USPT also supports this golf income opportunity with marketing ideas for interested tournament promoters and ideas for several different tournament formats. The individual tournament promoters have the ultimate decision on their putting tournament format, entry fee, and rules.
USPT local qualifying tournaments can be held between October 2010 and September 15, 2011 to qualify golfers for the 2011 USPT National Championship, which will begin on September 24 at The Crossings at Carlsbad in Carlsbad, California.
