Golf Sponsorship Opportunity

[mjyounie]

My name is Michael Younie, I am 19 years of age and I have just finished my first year competing well on the Jamega Tour. Looking ahead to next season and I am currently trying to find sponsorship. I know I have a bright future ahead of me and will achieve my goals of winning major championships and competing in Ryder Cups. I have a sponsorship prospectus that I can send out to anyone interested.

Here are a few of my career highlights to date:

What were your scores in the Jamega event at Frilford?
What was the winners score?

 

[MadAdey]

I am not in a position personally to sponsor you, but I was having a look at your results in the Jamega events you have listed. I think it would be worth putting down what your total score was along with the winners score as that will give potential sponsors something to initially evaluate you on rather than making them go find it, as this is what they are going to be interested in.

Good luck Michael and I hope you can find a sponsor to help you try and achieve your dream.

What were your scores in the Jamega event at Frilford?
What was the winners score?

+3 +4
winners score was -4
Played very poorly with a triple bogey to start the tournament.

What happened at Mentmore and why did you not include it in your results?

 

[mjyounie]

I pulled out at mentmore after 10 holes due to a finger injury I picked up in the gym 3 days before the event. I thought it was a little risky but I was playing well so I decided to play. I was playing ok in the event but the pain was getting gradually worse and with it being so early in the season I didnt was to risk making it any worse by playing on. I figured it was the smart thing to do in the long run.

Have you got access to a coach or are you teaching yourself.
And do you keep your own stats....FIR, GIR PPR etc

 

[mjyounie]

Hi, Yes, i have access to a coach. I am currently seeing Rob Watts over the winter months. I record results and notes from every practise session and keep stats.

 

[bobmac]

How often do you play?

 

[mjyounie]

Everyday..
I either practise and then play some holes or spend the whole day practising.

 

[bobmac]

What were the scores of your last 3 full practice rounds over 18 holes and when were they?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Good luck Michael, to be brutally honest you need to improve your results a fair bit to attract a serious sponsor. Good to see that you have a good work attitude. Two bits of experience that I hope you take in the spirit they are offered.

Are you really working as hard as you think you should to make it to the top ?
If you are good enough sponsors will find you rather than you searching for them ?

Play as many money matches as you can with your peers. Again, if you are good enough it will help with your expenses.
There are plenty of deluded young men on the satelite tours that you should be able to take money off.

It ma be an idea to list the types of helping your looking for , and it could also be worth approaching local independent golf stores near you. Unfortunately sponsorship is a two way thing so instead of asking for what you need sell it to the business as in what they would get from helping you. For example if they are a shop, free lessons and coaching for younger customers, or if their a private business lessons/coaching/help for its staff and customers .

I used to sponsor a fair amount of up and coming young motocross riders and the ones that got the help were always the ones who thought about it from my perspective and how I could benefit from sponsoring them
