Golf Tournaments

Build relationships with top donors, clients and partners in an engaging way.

Golf tournaments are the perfect example of a “special event” that requires a very unique set of skills and expertise to bring the multiple moving parts together seamlessly.

From registration to sponsorship execution, pairings, awards and on-course entertainment, these events require military-style organization.

And while you clearly realize they are an incredibly effective (and fun!) way to raise money, gather, and entertain clients, they can also be a beast to take on with just an internal team.

If you’re considering building one for the first time or are ready to take your existing golf event to the next level, we’ve got you. Golf is our thing, and the pros love us for it.

Host A Well Executed Golf Tournament

With 60+ golf events under our belt, our team has the strategy development, sponsorship creation and activations, logistics and full tournament execution down to a science.

A properly run golf event does not need a flood of staff or volunteers the day of the event. Our solutions ensure you have only the necessary number of staff involved, saving a lot of time and resources for your organization.

That means you can rest assured we will not only save your staff from the headache and time spent planning the golf event, but also provide you with the strategy and expertise that will help that event raise more money! (We’re talking covering your investment and THEN SOME!)

What They're Saying

“Jessica Shea has created the perfect organization, a mix between an excellent appreciation for style and creativity, blended with a perfect balance of logistical effeciency and endless diligence. I have had the pleasure of experiencing many J Shea events, but most recently I asked Jessica to plan and execute my charitable golf event from the ground up.

From the beginning Jessica was committed to my cause as if it were her own. No idea was off the table. She was creative and fun with activities for our golfers. She was also budget conscious and had many great ideas on cutting costs where needed. The talents at J Shea are vast yet practical. They have a very confident yet calming approach to managing the event the day of, which in turn is very calming to us as the client.

When you work with J Shea, expect a “big time” event that will allow your guests to enjoy all of the bells and whistles they are hoping for. They are committed to their clients, have a strong dedication to detail, and a passion for creating memorable events.”

“Faced with declining attendance and revenues the two 30 year old ASAE golf tournaments were on life support. With proposals from many high profile event planners, I turned to veteran planner, Jessica Shea to manage the details and aggressive revitalization plans. Not only did she orchestrate our team of 27 staff and volunteers, she led both events to sold out status with a waiting list of sponsors. This unprecedented growth was rated 4.67 by our attendees out of a possible 5! To sum it up: she is good people and very insightful. Having her on the team allows me to focus on other things. She is a breath of fresh air and can keep up with creativity and expensive tastes all within budget.”

“We turned to J Shea for their help with our 29th Annual Montgomery College Foundation Golf and Tennis Classic at Woodmont Country Club and we are very happy that we did. Jessica and her team are a pleasure to work with – very professional and a wealth of ideas. They are very communicative and their turn around was always very quick. We enjoyed working with them, as did our vendors. Things went so well that we already booked them for next year’s golf tournament!”

“Jessica and her team truly understand what it takes to coordinate and produce a world class golf event. We played in the ASAE Foundation Golf Classic which must have had well over 150 golfers and our team could not believe how seamless everything went with that amount of players. Our team had to make a last minute change and Jessica went above and beyond in accommodating me due to my lack of proper planning. J Shea is simply the best in the business!”

“We have hosted the Freeman Charity Golf Classic for 9 years now, and J Shea has been our planner for the past three. What a difference it makes to have Jessica and her team involved in our tournament. Since hiring Jessica our sponsorship dollars and registered golfers have increased and most importantly so has our charitable donations. Being in the events industry I understand the time and effort it takes to produce a successful event and Jessica has it down to a science. Their attention to detail is extremely comforting when it comes to hosting a tournament. What I appreciate most is that she and her team don’t think of this as just another golf tournament, rather they work to provide a memorable experience for Freeman, our sponsors and our guests.”

“We had our hands full trying to set up the inaugural AJ Janosko Golf Classic until Jessica got involved. Shortly into the first meeting with her I knew Jessica was the right person to plan this emotional event as we discussed the complete tournament timeline, outline, and objectives.

Her enthusiasm and structured, detailed-oriented approach to planning and execution achieve an efficient, smooth, and well-run golf tournament that is fun for all. We could not have had the hugely successful inaugural event without Jessica and her team.

Because of that success people are talking about and already looking forward to next year’s event. I would not plan and execute a golf event like this one without Jessica leading the way!”

What You Can Expect

Registration Website Design & Management

Your event will get a custom golf registration website to collect all the player & sponsor information and payments in one place. No more chasing people for money, foursomes names or logos.

The design will represent your brand and organization with all of the features and marketing information you will need to promote the tournament and allow participants to worry solely about their golf swing.

Unique Sponsorships Opportunities

Creativity wins when it comes to securing more sponsors. From bloody mary bars, to golf-gear pop up shops and car washes, we’ve come up with a variety of unique ways to raise money while providing unexpected value to the overall experience.

The more opportunities you provide for sponsors to engage and communicate their brand, the better the overall experience will be for everyone in attendance which in turn will separate your golf event from all of the others.

Clear Communications & Seamless Execution

Golfers and sponsors will know they are in good hands as soon as they start to sign up for your event. Our communications and logistical process are clear, informative and on-brand for your organization.

Whether you’re serving hot dogs or filet mignon, your guests will feel like they are at an all-star golf event, providing the positive and professional image your organization deserves.
