Certified Golf Tournament Planner Training Program
Presented by
GOLF TOURNAMENT ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
Have you ever wondered why there are huge very successful golf tournaments and some that are small and not so successful? There are over 1 Million Golf Outings in the US each year. The average event takes six months to produce and only makes $5,000. Yet there are many events each year that make over $100,000. How do they do it? What is the difference? It is simple, the person running the event.
Certain individuals have learned the special techniques on how to take their golf tournaments to the next level. These techniques are business practices applied to the non- profit world, techniques that assist events to go above and beyond the average event.
Now for the first time ever these techniques are being taught in a special program offered by the GTAA – Golf Tournament Association of America, the association for fundraising and corporate outings in the US. The program is called “Certified Golf Tournament Planner” training. This program is designed for individuals who are involved in event planning. They typically work for a Non Profit, Association or Meeting Planner Company. It not only gives them the tools to produce a highly effective event, it also gives them the confidence and credibility in their field to produce major events.
