Many event organizers love the Golf Digest Planner to set up and manage their event. Organizers often ask "How Can I Promote My Event?"

The Golf Digest Planner has e-mail templates built in so you can easily contact potential players and sponsors. You can upload lists from your e-mail database, Outlook or Excel.

One new way to market your event, is the Golf Event Guide. This site lets you promote your event to thousands of players and sponsors for free. Just go to www.GolfEventGuide.com, click on your state and register. Once you register, login and add your event in minutes.

You can be marking your event in minutes rather than waiting for brochures to be printed and mailed.

We asked a large sampling of golfers and sponsors if they expect to register online for golf events. Over 87% expect to register and pay online.

Bring your tournament easily into the age of the Internet by publishing your website with the Golf Digest Planner. Then send a link to the site to potential players and sponsor. Ask them to pass the link along to others who may be interested. The good news is that as you use the Golf Digest Planner, you are building a database of e-mail addresses for your event and it will grow each year.

If you have any questions, let me know and we'll be glad to help.

You can update your website as often as you like. Just remember to publish your website each time you make changes so your site is updated. To publish your website, just click on the Website tab on top after you set up your event and click on publish.

Many events have let us know that their websites have increased player participation by over 25% from the prior year. That makes sense as everyone likes to you the Internet to register for an event rather than mailing in a form. One event organizer has added a link to her site on the bottom of your e-mail signature so everyone she contacts knows about her event. Does anyone have other ideas?

Talk to you soon,
