How to Plan a Successful Corporate Golf Day or Tournament

Organising a golf day sounds simple, until you’re chasing shirt sizes, waiting on supplier quotes, and trying to find giveaways that don’t feel like leftovers from a previous event.

Whether you’re representing a club, coordinating a corporate sponsors’ day, or planning a client networking event, your goal should be to deliver a polished, memorable experience that reflects well on your brand and engages every guest.

A2Z Golf is Australia and New Zealand’s exclusive distributor of high-quality golf apparel and event accessories, including brands like 38° South, PRG, and Donald Ross. With in-house embroidery, design previews, and no minimums on select ranges, we help clubs and companies create professional, on-brand golf days, without the stress.

Start with Clear Goals and Format

Are you entertaining clients? Rewarding staff? Raising money for a cause? Promoting sponsors? Your goal determines the tone, structure, and gear you’ll need. Consider:

• Ambrose formats for inclusive, fast-paced team play
• Fourball or strokeplay for more competitive groups
• 9-hole twilight events if time is limited

This helps with logistics, sponsorship planning, and merchandise choices. It also ensures your players understand the format and expectations from the outset.

Dress the Part with Coordinated Apparel

Branded golf apparel unifies your team, projects professionalism, supports sponsor visibility, and ensures a sharp visual presence both on and off the course.

We offer embroidery-ready garments from industry-leading brands:

• 38° South: Ideal for clubs or smaller groups. No minimum order quantity means you can kit out any size team with polos, caps or bucket hats.
• Donald Ross and B. Draddy: For high-end corporate or sponsor-facing events where style and tradition matter.
• Zero Restriction: Technical outerwear for wind and rain, smart, durable, and engineered for performance.

With in-house embroidery, we offer fast, accurate turnaround with quality control at every step. Place logos on sleeves, chests, collars, or hats to suit your brand or sponsor requirements.

Add Value with Custom Player Accessories

Accessories are where thoughtful details stand out. They add function to form and allow you to extend your branding across the full player experience. 

Through our partnership with PRG, we supply high-quality, fully customisable golf accessories, including:

• Scorecard holders with ColourTech print
• Hard enamel ball markers and hat clips
• Divot repair tools, bag tags and poly bag tee packs

Build welcome kits or tee gifts to suit your audience:

• Essentials Pack: Ball marker, towel and tees
• Premium Kit: Scorecard holder, divot tool and embroidered cap

All items are branded to your specifications and delivered with design proofs for peace of mind.

Choose Promotional Giveaways That Last

The most effective giveaways aren’t just flashy, they’re useful. Choose items that players will actually keep and use, ensuring your branding stays in circulation well after the final putt.

Top choices include:

• Branded umbrellas
• Embroidered towels and beanies
• Stainless drinkware with etched logos
• Branded pens or travel accessories

These items are perfect for sponsor co-branding, and their practicality ensures long-term brand exposure beyond the day.

Get Your Timing Right to Avoid Stress

One of the biggest planning pitfalls is leaving orders too late. Apparel and accessories require lead time, especially when embroidery or full customisation is involved. Here’s a planning timeline to guide you:

Because A2Z manages decoration and embroidery in-house, we keep the process efficient, accurate, and deadline-friendly.

Present a Unified Brand from Start to Finish

Consistent branding across staff uniforms, signage, and hospitality touchpoints leaves a lasting impression. Options to consider include:

• Embroidered polos for hospitality or ground staff
• Branded signage at registration tables, bag drop or dinner venues
• Coordinated colour schemes across caps, towels, giveaways and shirts
• Sponsor logos displayed on uniforms, accessories, or umbrellas

Our design team can help ensure your event feels cohesive across all assets, on and off the course.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve only got 12 players. Can we still order? Yes. Many of our garments, especially in the 38° South range, come with no minimum order quantity.

How long do customised orders take? We recommend allowing 4–6 weeks. All embroidery and design is handled locally to speed up production.

Is it expensive to do all this? Not necessarily. We work with a range of budgets and can suggest tailored gear and giveaway bundles that deliver value without excess.

Plan Your Golf Day with Confidence

A well-run corporate or club golf event delivers entertainment, it builds relationships, strengthens brands, and leaves a positive, lasting impression. But it only works when the presentation is consistent, professional, and aligned with your goals.

We can help you deliver that standard with branded teamwear, premium accessories, and expert support from design to delivery.
