first hope for alot of ams so you can make some on merch price differential between wholesale and retail,raffles work good if you have some special or nicer merch /items to raffle.basket throw offs work as long as you take in more than the price of the basket.you can also do a players pack (even for the pros as long as your up front with them about it put it on your flyer!!)and make the same product wholesale/retail differential on the players packs.These players packs usually consist of a newer disc(think lycan,or something else people havent been able to get yet or in your area)maybe a club sticker or some other swag.Friday doubles is also a good way to make a lil extra you can do the doubles by division and pay out plastic to the ams or sell some mulligans for the doubles maybe 1 per person at $1 each.there are many ways to make some $ for your club my advice is to be up front about what $ will be taken out of the entry fees and more importantly what the $ is being made for (i.e. course improvements,new banners, signage,could be anything as long as the players feel there $ is going to something that will improve the club or courses in the area).then make sure you follow thru and use the $ for the reasons you explained.
