Golf is Australia’s most popular corporate sport. No other sporting activity allows members of a corporate organisation to spend eight to ten hours with actual or potential clients in a relaxed and comfortable environment.
Few other sports can lure senior executives from their heavy workloads and other commitments. A well organised corporate or fundraising golf day is a relatively inexpensive but effective way to:
Distinguish your company from your competition
Build relationships with potential clients
Reinforce relationships with existing clients
Thank clients for their valued custom
Raise funds for your nominated organisation
An important part of ensuring a successful event is to make sure that all elements of the day are organised in a professional and seamless manner. This is how D’lux Golf can get involved.

Some corporate organisations feel they have the ability and expertise to organise a golf day internally however when you consider the following it becomes apparent that this is not always the case:
• Your staff were hired to perform jobs other than organising golf days.
• It is common to underestimate the amount of time and resources necessary to manage a successful golf day.

A memorable and successful corporate golf day requires considerable attention to detail and organisational ability. D’lux Golf work with you in these areas to ensure no stone is unturned or left to chance.There are a number of distinct areas involved in organising a golf day.
• Initial meeting to discuss your needs.
• Identification, selection and booking of golf course.
• Setup of event website administration and invitation distribution.
• Co-ordinating RSVP responses.
• Planning on the day entertainment options, player giveaways and prizes
• Managing the days happenings.
• Post event wrap up, debrief and review.
• These areas are discussed in more detail at the appropriate time.
Communication with your clients prior to the day is important. Including social media posts. D’lux Golf regularly confirms all golf day elements with your registered players by way of a pregame email typically sent 10-12 days prior to the event. Reminders via text 5-6 days out occur is recommended also. Furthermore, when changes occur to player attendance (as they invariably do in all golf days) reports are automatically updated negating the need to re-perform messy mail merging. Attendees are given access to our D’lux staff for us to provide for their requirements which in turn immediately provides a personal touch.
Golfers like to know how they are going on course. The MiScore App provides this and more through mobile scoring on players own mobile devices. Working across all mobile operating systems, hole scores are entered by players as they make their way around the course. Instant access to real time leaderboards is immediately available. To keep the suspense of the day intact, the leaderboard is turned off after 14 holes thus preserving the final result until the prize presentations.
We recognise that different companies may want to exert different levels of influence on the golf day. We fully understand and respect this and will work with you in whatever way you like, whilst offering a variety of our services as required. Our team is dedicated to providing flexible options and tailored support, ensuring your golf day aligns perfectly with your corporate goals
The day is over, but not quite! A post game email can be sent to all players thanking them for attending the day and directing them to a comprehensive post game website (your website). Full playing results, photos from on course and prize presentations are featured and sent to you for you to do with as you please.
Behind the scenes the client's responses are automatically updated in a secure, online database. Clients answer your pre-determined RSVP questions, and we provide you with weekly, accurate attendee status for your golf day. Updating and telephone follow ups are all part of the service as managing the unknowns is our personal touch.
The day itself brings with it many challenges including the efficient registration of all players.
