Include golfer spots in a sponsor package

Give a package playing spots (for example, a foursome with the Title Sponsor) and see what the sponsor pays.

Many sponsor packages come with playing spots: "Title Sponsor includes a foursome." Set Golfer spots included on the package, and Redswing keeps count of how many spots each sponsor has used.

Who can do this: Admin or Editor

Steps

  1. Open Sponsors in the event sidebar.
  2. Create a new package, or click Edit on an existing one.
  3. In Golfer spots included, type the number of spots (0 to 100). Leave it at 0 for packages with no playing spots.
  4. Also set Value of goods and services ($). Playing spots have real value. See Set the value of goods and services.
  5. Click Add package or Save changes.

What the sponsor pays

  • A sponsor who buys online by card pays a $5 Redswing booking fee for each included golfer. The fee is shown inside the package total on your sponsor page, so the sponsor sees one price. You pay nothing extra.
  • A sponsor you add by hand (check, cash or not paid yet) has no Redswing fee. Sponsorships are free of Redswing fees.

What happens next

  • On the Sponsors page, each sponsor with spots shows a line like "4 golfer spots: 0 filled".
  • Put their golfers on your roster with Add golfer for this sponsor. See Put a sponsor's golfers on your roster.
  • Those golfers count toward your Max players. If your field is full, you need to make room first.
  • Golfer spots do not add golfers by themselves. Someone has to give you the names.
