Helping
the future of BC Golf
By sponsoring VGT, you are assisting in the development of local junior
and amateur golfers, as funds raised from the tour will go directly
towards the development of VGT’s Junior Academy and Scholarship
Endowment Program. As well, your sponsorship dollars will help boost the
professional tournament purses in our province so that our young BC
professionals have a chance to earn a living locally while they pursue
their goal of reaching the PGA Tour.
Extensive Media Exposure
VGT is being heavily promoted locally at all Lower Mainland golf
courses, local and regional general media. For 2006 the Commissioner was
interviewed by golf industry media as well as local sports personalities
including Steve Darling and Eric Dwyer (Global TV), Jay Janower (CKNW,
Team 1040), Kent Gilchrist (Province Newspaper), Brad Zeimer (Vancouver
Sun), Ross Marrington (BCgolfguide.com) and Barry Sharpe (BCgolfnews.com).
For our 2006 Pro-am Championship, Vancouvertv.tv did a 5-minute
promotional video that highlights the major sponsors on both our website
and theirs. We expect even more coverage for 2007 since we are releasing
a full tour schedule compared to only one event in 2006.
There will
be significant pre-event, on-site and post-event media coverage
throughout the year including a post event newsletter for all four
‘Majors’, a VGT newsletter and a post-event website page for every
tournament.
Target
Audience
In 2007, we are striving to obtain a membership of approximately 500
golfers. This number includes approximately 80 professionals, 150
amateurs/corporate golfers and 70 juniors as ‘playing members’ and about
200 ‘Affiliate’ members who will subscribe to become members for the
non-competing privileges (green-fee discounts, travel rewards, etc.) and
receipt of the VGT newsletter.
Play
With the Best
As a Sponsor, you will be able to actively participate in the tour by
having many opportunities to play with and learn from our best
professionals, amateurs and juniors in our tour events, including the
Corporate Team Challenge and our two Major Pro-am tournaments.
Sponsorship
of the tour has tremendous value and is available in various affordable
packages which are outlined in our 2007 sponsorship opportunities
brochure. There are limited quantities of each sponsorship level, so
