Not sure what your position is but if you are to run a
tournament each month my advise is "variety is the spice
of life". What I mean is keep the interest up by holding
different types of events.
In our league we have had:
Member - Guest: where each member can bring a guest (a
non-league member) and compete in a variety of formats.
Three Club Tourney: where each participant must determine
which three clubs they wish to use (plus a putter) and
only bring them on the course.
Blind draw - where teams are made up from random choice.
Each can have a variety of winners (prizes) i.e. Low Net
Individual, Low Gross Ind., Low Net Team, Low Gross Team,
Fewest Putts, Straightest drives, etc.
Not sure of what you are looking for but hope this helps!

| Rich,
Thanks for your input! We play a stroke play tournament
with low net, low gross, long drive(men&women), A, B, C,
and Calloway flights. I guess that I pick the courses
that we play at and what format the tournament will be
played under. A committee has been formed to assist me
so we will be looking at some other things like the 3-club
event, maybe a scramble, some kinds of team events, things
like that. The league has played a couple of scrambles but
there was a lot of grumbling over how the teams were picked.
I guess there will always be complainers no matter what so
I'll just have to get used to it.

| I was the treasurer of the DEC-Phoenix golf league until its'
unfortunate demise last year. I worked closely with Jim Weddle
who was the tournament director (his chosen title) and he
might offer some good advice and assistance in helping you.
His mail address is PNO::WEDDLE.
My own views on being an officer in the league:
A number of complainers who didn't want to help rectify
a situation with which they disagreed.
There were some who wanted the league but didn't care
to help run the league.
A lot of work but not too much appreciation for the
treasurer, tournament director and handicap chairman.
Our league was a lot of fun for me but the hassle became a little
too much.

| This may be a little late, and I am not certain what you want. But, I
have some ideas from past experiences. We used to travel once per
month to a different course and tried to vary the format also. One
month we had a scramble, next a best-ball, scotch two-somes, two-club
tournament, play the course in reverse(green to tee, hole out by
hitting one of the tee markers), we played a four-ball format, had a
week-end where we played 36 holes each day in match play, medal play
etc. Selections of partners was usually done by tournament committee
with rules such as only one 10 and under on a four-man team, then the
rest of the team is totalled so that the handicap total is as close as
possible for all teams entered and then we had them where we used
similar rules, but let the members select their own partners. Once
each year we had a fun day - used to rent a private nine hole(36par
37.5 rating) we excellent barbeque facilities and had the entire family
join for swimming, tennis, golf, dinner and the annual awards. The
theme for the play that day was, beer carts and fun. Hope these are
the type of ideas you wanted.

Sounds like you might have a larger club than we have !! We
usually have 30-50 golfers per event. I may be ignorant but what
is a scotch two-some ?? Thanks for all the info, it is already
getting pretty interesting with all the demands that the members
put on me. Renting a 9-hole for the day and having a family outing
sure sounds like fun too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Male and female twosome. Both hit from the tee and select the shot
then play alternating through putting out. Lots of variations, but the
main thing is male - female. It is not Glenlivit.
