General Banter / Ace pot payout out

« on: May 16, 2013, 09:09:58 AM »

The PITT Ace Pot was around $320 and last night we had 2 aces which we pay 75% of the pot out which totaled around $120 each.  One person was a member and the other has just started playing and it was his second time at league.  My question is how do you guys handle payouts at all the courses in K.C.?  Do you go by the same standards at every course or is each course different?  I would like to hear all options that anyone has encountered at any league you may have played at anytime during your life.  Some of our members would like to only pay 50% of payout to non-members and 75% to members to see if that would increase participation in joining our club.  I think I've heard of others deduct membership dues from the non-member which makes him a member for the remainder of the year.  Let the ideas fly as I would like to hear all options!  Thanks

Jack,

Any ideas on when and what divisions will play what courses yet?  Just trying to decide if I want to pay the extra cash to play Adv Masters or take it easy and play Int and spend my extra time just hanging out watching the Open divisions.

Tom,

Are plans in the works to use both courses for the Old Settlers Open?  Hope so, nice work!

OK, apparently I passed out because I woke up on the floor in my office.  And I didn't even do anything.  What message was she trying to convey?

Thanks Jack, this helps alot...you are Da Man!

We have a good relationship with our Parks and Rec so I think we can come to some type of agreement that won't kill us from having any tournaments throughout the year.  Worst case scenario is we can sanction a tournament is all.  They are always generous when it comes to giving us the shelters and everything free of charge for our Ice Bowl and PITT Open.  This year they are blocking off all of Lincoln Park to allow us to put an 18 hole temp course up for our PITT Open as an additional course to use.  So they do a lot of things for us.  On our smaller tournaments I don't ask to have a shelter or to close the park down because I run everything out of my camper that I take up there.  So it allows them to still rent out the shelters for revenue.  Should work out but I wanted to know what other area clubs are doing to help me negotiate a deal with them. 

Thanks again!!

General Banter / club tournaments

« on: January 28, 2013, 10:52:06 AM »

I have a meeting planed with our local Parks and Rec concerning our club tournaments.  It looks like they want to charge us a fee and have us carry insurance for our club tournaments.  I'm sorry but we are not large enough to handle both these issues as we don't see large turnouts for our smaller club tournaments.  So my questions are:

Are any clubs required to pay a fee to the local Parks and Rec when running a tournament?

Are any clubs required to provide insurance to the local Parks and Rec when running a tournament?

My problem with the fee is going to be if they want a set amount to run a tournament because if they expect $100 per tournament and I only have 8-10 players show up (not uncommon as we don't seem to get the support) then the payout is going to be poor as I have to deduct that from the entry.  If we can agree on a small percentage of the entry fees then we will be fine.  As far as the insurance issue goes, our club can't afford to carry and insurance policy just to put on a few tournaments each year.  I know we can purchase one through the PDGA (which we will do for the PITT Open one time a year) but for our other smaller club tournaments we don't want to sanction them just to get an insurance policy as that my drop attendance even more.

Let me know your thoughts on this so I can have some ammunition when I go into my meeting.  Thanks

The top 40% of the players who attend 3 of the 7 events will be awarded an end of season bonus payout.

Is the top 40% per division or all am players?  Because if it's all am players then you are looking at mostly advanced players and a couple of intermediate players and maybe a sandbagger or two...lol.  Just curious what your thinking was on this.  Thanks
