Competition Venue Requirements
The goal of the Competition Management team is to offer the athletes a high quality, challenging competition. Safety and access must be of utmost concern for athletes, coaches, volunteers, officials, families and spectators when previewing a golf or practice area for competition.
Below are general venue planning tools for consideration when assessing a facility for competition. Ask the questions: Where? Who? How many? How long? What will follow? It is best to establish a committee or Chairperson for each or a combination of these areas.
If you are a coach participating but not hosting a competition, this list will also be helpful to you in managing and familiarizing your athletes with a particular competition venue.
