Today it was suggested to look into the possibility of a Golf Tournament to benefit SAFE.
This could be a great way to involve some of our Non-Horsey friends/family (if they golf, of course!).
Les happens to be in the execution phase of a yearly Golf Tournament that he organizes for the Parrot Heads of Puget Sound every year. He really just started in on it this month, for a tournament date of July. I bet we can get him to help....and no, he never reads this
The course he uses is North Shore in Tacoma and we've had a long standing relationship with the folks there (got married there and have been Social members for many years) and have participated in the Parrot Head event for 10 years.
Les tells me that Friday is the most economical day to have one there...it costs us about $65 a person for Golf, Cart, Dinner and the use of the facilities for the after-party function. We typically have music and silent auctions at ours....
A Saturday event would be more like $75 a person with a 120 person guarantee. Friday has no such minimum according to my in-house tournament expert!
So the questions are .....
Are there any golfers here?
Do you know golfers who might participate?
Any other thoughts on the subject?
It's much too late to try to hold one this year with all of the other events we're getting ready for (Benefit Show, HeART of the Horse, etc...), but aiming for next spring/summer would probably be ideal!
Looking for feedback....
