Prize Money for Pro AM

[CBish]

Nick may have something there. Few of us are willing to put the time that a few, like Paul, do. But many of us would be willing to do a small part. Perhaps when something needs to be done a simple post on a board such as this with the specifics would be a good thing. For example, Volunteer needed to direct parking and traffic at Niagara pro am. Friday 5pm - 9pm, Saturday 12 pm - 4 pm and Sunday 12 pm - 5 pm. Please reply to 555-555-5555 by May 12, 2010.

Another Idea would be a separate forum on LOU that would be dedicated to the Pro-Am. LOU members could monitor it for volunteering and rule changes, payouts and other information could be dispensed by the organizers quickly. Finally LOU members could take the responsibility of posting the official results quickly - like posting Saturday's standings on Saturday and then the final results on Sunday. Sponsor information could also be mentioned in the forum.

Most of the constructive criticism that I'm hearing is related to information and communication. This may be a volunteer solution.

Some thoughts I had passed onto Paul included that if we really want to grow the events and have better payouts....we need to get involved. All of us contestants have a stake. Many of us are small business owners and in our circle of friends and contacts there are national/international corporations and businesses we should be tapping into for event donations. A simple letter to call in some favors coupled with passing on the name of the company contact to Pro/Am officials might go a long way to increase corporate partnership.
