Harry Scott Golf Tournament Director

Diethelm Events presents Networking Through Golf Corporate Golfing Opportunities in Thailand. It has often been said that more business deals are concluded on the golf course than in the boardroom and there is no better way of building sound and lasting business relationships than through the game of golf. In today’s competitive business environment corporate entertainment is playing a more important roll in customer relationships, and a Corporate Golf Tournament is the ideal way to enhance your company or brand profile and to entertain your valued customers in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. There could be tax benefits for having a networking event.

Corporate golf tournaments promote synergy with business colleagues and clients alike. Your own corporate golf tournament will encourage camaraderie and cement relationships with all who participate.

The tournament will adopt your company’s name or brand, and Diethelm Events’ tournament organizers will make sure that your company gets the maximum PR benefit with the minimum input of your time.

The example proposal below illustrates how a typical corporate golf tournament operates.

Your Corporate Golf Tournament Itinerary
10.00 – 12.00 Tournament registration in the clubhouse with refreshments served.
11.00 – 12.00 Pre- tournament warm up at the driving range.
12.30 Shotgun start
17.30 – 19.30 Dinner & Awards Ceremony

If required, Diethelm Events’ golf tournament director will MC the awards presentation at 6:30pm. Prizes can then be presented, all expertly planned prior to tee-off.

Tournament Format
The tournament will be played to the Stableford format, allowing players that have returned a bad score at any given hole to maintain a genuine interest in the tournament.

All players will tee-off at the same time from their designated starting hole. The winner of the tournament will be the player who has recorded the highest number of Stableford points over the 18 holes played. If there is a tie the winner will be calculated on a count back.

At most sizeable corporate golf tournaments we recommend that as well as giving First, Second and Third prizes for the Stableford tournament, there should be a Nearest The Pin Hole and a Longest Drive Hole on the front and back nine. The nearest the pin holes would be the shortest par 3’s and the longest drives at the straightest holes on the front and back nine.

To encourage synergy between the team partners, we recommend that a team prize should be awarded to the group playing together who have the lowest net score over the 18 holes played, this will be based on the best ball net score recorded at each hole with full handicaps.

Tournament Administration
The Diethelm Events golf tournament director will take care of all tournament organization and administration prior to and during the event. All you have to do is to provide a list of players names and their golf handicaps one week prior to the event.

Once we have all the information we will prepare a tournament roster of all the participating players in our USGA golf software program. This software will provide tournament results, Stableford and team results net or points within 30 minutes of the tournament ending.
