What is the best way to raise money for new baskets, etc?

Are there sponsors out there?

Hole Sponsor's!

Figure out what your course debt is or is going to be, and divide that by 18, or possibly even 36 (if you have duel tee's).
Then start begging! :D

You will also need to make sure your plea/offer is well worth the sponsor's donation (recognition through course advertising; tee signs, kiosk, scorecards, basket's, free club membership, local new's media resource's, etc.?).

Example: I asked $350 per hole for 2 yrs., and the term doesn't start until the course is finished, meaning all their benefit's are covered. Sponsor's receive everything I mentioned above, except the advertisement on the basket's.

I may have been a little lucky to have Innova help support our course so much, but working with a great company like them (Innova), probably gave me the crediblity I needed inorder for our sponsor's to trust the project through.

That's my experience any ways in a nut shell, best of luck!

I actually thought you were talking about a new course, if all you need is new basket's, then that should be much easier.

Still not easy though, good luck!
