7 EVENT ANNOUNCEMENTS Plan to announce your tournament six months in advance so that your guests can reserve the date on their calendar. Approximately three to four months in advance, you should plan to follow up with a second announcement. One distinct advantage to booking your event at the Mohegan Sun Golf Club is our ability to assist you with filling your event. We can often create a promotion banner on our web page or radio announcements. In some cases, we can also send out an eblast to our ever-growing list of Mohegan Sun resort guests and area golfers. This perk is exclusive to Mohegan Sun Golf Club clients. RAIN POLICY Every golf outing must have a plan in place for inclement weather. Check with our golf operations staff and make yourself aware of our rain out policy. We offer NO RAINCHECKS once play has started. REGISTRATION DESK The Mohegan Sun Golf Club registration desk provides a centralized place for guests to check in, meet their playing partners, change their pairings, learn their starting hole and pick up a tournament rules sheet. The event planner and his or her volunteers usually run this desk. PLAY FORMATS A primary factor in determining the playing format for your outing is the number of players. You will want to choose a format that allows players to compete in a reasonable amount of time. It takes four and a half to five hours to complete a typical golf outing. There are a wide variety of golf formats and contests that will work for a corporate or charity event, but team formats work best. Our experienced PGA Golf Professionals are more than happy to assist you with this decision. 6

8 COMPETITION FORMATS The Scramble by far is the most popular format for a group golf event. It allows for a good pace of play despite the large number of players. A four-person scramble is one in which there are four players on a team. All players tee off and then each hits their second shot from the spot where the best drive landed. On each succeeding shot, all golfers play from where the best shot of the four landed. Continue this process until the ball is holed out. In this format, there is one score for the entire team. The shamble is probably the second most popular of the formats. The most common variation of this type of event is the four-person, two best-ball event. Each player on the four-person team will hit their tee shot. All players hit their second shot from the spot where the best drive landed. From that point each player will play his or her own ball until the ball is holed out. In this format there will be two scores for each team. There are many other formats to choose from if these two popular format options don t fit your needs. CONTEST FORMATS Putting Contests are the most common added competitive activity at golf outings. Usually held on the practice green, putting competitions offer dozens of variations on a theme. The object, of course, is to putt the ball in the hole or get it the closest of all the competitors. CHOOSE ONE OR MORE SPECIAL EVENTS. OUR STAFF WILL SET UP; YOU SUPPLY THE PRIZES. l LONGEST DRIVE is awarded to the player who hits the longest drive on a predetermined hole during the competition. Some events separate this event into a Men s Long Drive and a Ladies Long Drive. l CLOSEST TO THE HOLE is a popular contest that involves a tee shot off a par 3 that comes closest to the pin. l SHORTEST DRIVE is a contest that can usually get a laugh or two out of your group. It goes to the person who hits the shortest drive that lands on the fairway. l STRAIGHTEST DRIVE involves running a rope down the middle of a fairway on a predetermined hole and the drive that comes closest to the rope wins. l LONGEST PUTT is awarded to the player who is able to sink the longest putt on a predetermined green. 7

9 MULLIGANS A mulligan is an extra shot that can be used to take the place of a missed shot purchased prior to the round with the money going to charity. Mulligans are an excellent way to raise money for charity or to defray the expenses of the golf tournament. Traditionally, only two or three mulligans per player are allowed. The price for a mulligan can vary from $5 each up as high as $50, depending upon your group. DEFRAYING EVENT COSTS There are several great ways to raise money for a designated charity and/or defray the cost of your event. The most popular is the sale of hole sponsorships. In addition to raising money, this engages local businesses to help you promote your event. You decide the price for sponsorship of each hole and produce sponsor signs. One of the most profitable activities to raise money is an auction. Mohegan Sun may be willing to donate awards and/or rounds of golf for auction. Volunteers are the backbone of your golf event. Plan to enlist the help of a dozen or so volunteers to handle such duties as registration, contests, helping the photographer, loading and unloading supplies and prizes, and collecting supplies when the event is completed. AWARDS BANQUET The Awards Banquet concludes the day s events by honoring competition winners, thanking sponsors, announcing charitable contributions, holding your auction and, most importantly, treating your guests to a wonderful meal. We can provide a podium, microphone and public-address system for your event. A member of our staff will pick up the Closest to the Hole, Long Drive and other contest markers and scorecards for the official scorer. Final scores will be posted on the scoreboard. We will closely monitor the pace of play and can predict with some accuracy when most of the players will be finished. The awards presentation is a major part of your banquet. Our staff will be happy to announce your winners after the organization s MC has completed his or her announcements. 8
