Timing, Costs and Options

Timing

Golf days can either have a morning or afternoon start depending upon the client’s wishes. We recommend a morning start with lunch to follow as there is less attrition of guests on the day due to the fact they haven’t had the opportunity to go into the office prior to the event. Also with the busy schedule executives have, we find it is often nice to get home early.

Suggested timings for an AM and PM event:
     

Investment

The following are base items that need to be budgeted for when preparing a corporate golf event:

• Green Fees/Electric Carts
• Gifts on Arrival
• Breakfast
• On Course Refreshments/Snacks
• Lunch
• Prize Package
• Event Coordinator Fee

Registration

Our staff will be on hand to register all players. We recommend at registration each guest is presented with a gift bag, a program of the day's activities and a name badge.

Golf Clinic

As part of the services, David Gillard will conduct a clinic for all guests as part of the early registration format as detailed earlier. During the interactive clinic guests participate in various competitions. Topics can include:

1. How to drive the ball further
2. How to cure the slice
3. How to play in the wind
4. Trouble shots
5. Bunkers
6. Chipping & Pitching
7. Putting

Golf Format

We work with the client to structure the best format of play based on the skill level of the guests and the difficultly of the golf course. On most occasions an Ambrose event best fits the criteria. Ambrose has a number of advantages:

• It keeps the group together for the entire round and generates real team spirit and enthusiasm.
• It allows players of average or less than average ability to play without the embarrassment of holding up play. They can also contribute to the team score with an occasional good shot or putt.
• It gives good players a smooth, quick round of golf.
• It allows our host professional to give on-course instruction to the complete group as they play.
• It makes for a fun day for everyone regardless of his or her golfing ability.
