Planning a corporate golf event may not be as straightforward as you think.
It’s probably the one day of the year when the greatest number of your valuable customers are gathered together.
You have an outstanding opportunity to impress them with your company’s professionalism and attention to detail.
At the same time, your business needs to maximize the return on the budget it’s about to spend – that means buying facilities, promotional items, prizes and ancillary services in the most efficient and cost effective way. Golfasian has established arrangements with a number of prestigious venues that enable our clients to benefit from discounted rates and dates that might otherwise not be available. Golfasian also has long established trading accounts with golf and promotional merchandise manufacturers, enabling clients to purchase gifts & prizes at very competitive prices.
When you consider that many venues are booked more than a year in advance and that golf professionals charge retail prices for gifts and prizes, the benefits of retaining Golfasian quickly becomes apparent.
Golfasian aims to remove the entire administrative burden from your company. Golfasian will identify appropriate venues for your event, provide detailed budgets and make suggestions for prizes and gifts. Our service includes distribution of invitations and collation of responses, either by post or electronically (many of our clients prefer us to create bespoke websites from which their hospitality events can be administered). Golfasian will also suggest, cost and arrange additional services like guest speakers, trick shot shows, golf instruction clinics and photography or video of your event.
At Golfasian your event is managed by qualified golf staff with a combined experience of over 20 years in the industry, In fact, the phrase most heard at the completion of our golf days is, “… best golf day I have ever attended”.
This is due to the all round attention to detail we offer, whether it be the informative golf clinic prior to the round, the quality of the gifts on arrival, the assistance of the golf professionals, the on course service, the professional nature of the post golf function or just the smooth running of the entire event.
We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver the client a quality event within the company’s profile and image.

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.

The Scramble is probably the most-common format for team tournaments. It can be played by 2-, 3- or 4-person teams, and involves the best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed.
Like Peoria, the Callaway System is a quasi-handicapping system that can be employed for a stroke play event in which most of the particants do not have handicaps. The Callaway System involves consulting a chart following the round to determine a handicap deduction and handicap allowance.
When the Callaway System is in use, all competitors tee off and play stroke play, scoring in the normal fashion with one exception – double par is the maximum score on any given hole (i.e., on a par 4, 8 is the maximum score).
Following the round, gross scores are tallied. Based on each golfer’s gross score (using the double par maximum), each golfer tallies up a prescribed number of worst scores from their scorecard, then applies a second adjustment that may add or subtract additional strokes.
Utilizing the Callaway System requires consulting a chart to determine a handicap deduction and handicap adjustment. For further explanation and an example of how the Callaway System works:
| Gross (using double par max.) | Handicap Deduction | ||||
| 70 | 71 | 72 | Scratch | ||
| 73 | 74 | 75 | 1/2 of Worst Hole | ||
| 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | Worst Hole |
| 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 1 1/2 Worst Holes |
| 86 | 87 | 88 | 89 | 90 | 2 Worst Holes |
| 91 | 92 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 2 1/2 Worst Holes |
| 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 100 | 3 Worst Holes |
| 101 | 102 | 103 | 104 | 105 | 3 1/2 Worst Holes |
| 106 | 107 | 108 | 109 | 110 | 4 Worst Holes |
| 111 | 112 | 113 | 114 | 115 | 4 1/2 Worst Holes |
| 116 | 117 | 118 | 119 | 120 | 5 Worst Holes |
| 121 | 122 | 123 | 124 | 125 | 5 1/2 Worst Holes |
| 126 | 127 | 128 | 129 | 130 | 6 Worst Holes |
