Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
How many Golfers on this forum?

well I am a scratch golfer...but then I also manage private golf clubs so you can say I golf more than the average person ;D
the problem with hosting a golf outing as a fund raiser is that the cost of a day of golf would make tickets very expensive, so the return is small. golf outings are great fundraisers for large causes that can attract corporate money like breast cancer, etc.
the avegare public course (that is worth playing)would charge you at least $150 a head for a day of golf with a burger lunch, a private club would be around $300 a ahead! And then you need prizes, tee gifts, etc...very expensive!
having said that, if a group of members wants to get together and get a foursome here at my club, just let me know! it would be my pleasure to have you!

Kinckerbocker Country Club in Bergen County. I don;t belong to it, I manage it. I guess you can call me the help! ;D
FOr every outing I sell at $320 per person for a full day with lunch, dinner, golf, booze, etc...the host charges at least twice as much per ticket since not only they have expenses with organizing, promoting, and buying gifts...they also have to come out with money for the cause...not a cheap proposition! And yes they are always full! I think the alure of being able to play at a private club and helping a good cause is very strong! ;D
