Step 1, Basics: name, charity, course, date, goal and photo

The Basics step is the only step with required boxes. You need an event name, a course and a date. Everything else can wait.

Who can do this: anyone signed in to your organization. Time: about 3 minutes. You will need: your event name, the course name, the date.

Before you start

• Tap New event (the page is titled Create an event). If you see Set up with AI and Classic form, choose Classic form to follow these steps.
• Steps are in a bar at the top (Step 1 of 9). Your answers are saved on this device as you go, so you can leave and come back. See Pick up an unfinished event.

Steps

1. Type the Event name, for example "Annual Charity Classic".
2. Type the Charity name. It appears on your page and on receipts.
3. Type the Course name. Then look under it: Search the course list shows matching courses. Tap Use this course on yours. This fills in the address, and card payments need it. See Find and link your course.
4. Add the Course address (optional). Golfers see it for directions, and Redswing uses it to work out your time zone.
5. Pick the Date and the Start time. The date cannot be in the past.
6. Type your Fundraising goal in dollars. Leave it empty if you do not want one.
7. Add a Description (a few sentences for your page) and, if you are signed in, a Cover photo. The photo is optional and you can add it after you publish.
8. Tap Next.

• Referred by a course? If a golf course gave you a code, type it. It never changes what you pay.
