How does your Club 'finance' their Club Teams?

[2blue]

As most Clubs will have various teams such as Scratch, Net, Rabbits, Mid-handicap & Seniors etc..... & most of these will finish their games with a bit of food. So I'm wondering how they, or your Club help with supporting them financially.
Do they have fund-raisers, sponsors or simply pay for what they enjoy?

Haven’t played team match in years so not sure it’s same set up now but we had 2/3 sponsors each season, they paid a fee which went towards mini-bus hire, your kit (usually a polo shirt & jumper) and the meal after each home game. I think club picked up rest of the cost of this, the restaurant within the club (seperate from the golf club) also got advertising on the gear etc. so I presume some sort of deal was made on the food front.

I can remember a couple of race night/disco fundraisers over the years but I don’t think it was solely to raise money for the team as there were charity donations too. Maybe raised for both.

In the end the mini bus got scrapped as most guys were heading straight from work in their own cars which saved on costs.

I believe the club pick up the tab for after match meals of both mens and ladies scratch teams. Beyond that some teams have clothing subsidised by sponsors otherwise team members pick up the costs themselves.

We pay a match fee for each fixture.

Inter club County matches and teams are paid for by the club out of competition fees . Coffee and bacon roll before match.

Our funding is based on winning to the scratch team.
£5000 per head if they win the league.
Nowt to handicappers as it's too easily manipulated.

We are lucky to have a major Saudi interest in the club.

Same for us in the Scratch Team.

Surely there is an individual prize as well for the ranking points?

Aye, but it can't be revealed.

All external entry fees are paid from the rake from club competition entry fees; team shirts are subsided by sponsorship and the rake (cost £10 to the player); any food is paid for entirely by player match fees (£10-15).

Scratch , Mid HC matches etc purchase your own shirt and club pay for food after

Where are you a member?

A Saudi backed club has just offered me 100m to join, to help them grow the game. The only caveat is I have to mention it on this forum at least 5 times a day.

Fees for food and drink come out of our weekly competition scores. It was a few years ago, but I did hear that it was about 30p of each entry fee.

Exact same at ours.

We pay a fee to play in each match. The fees, a little less for home games, and slightly more for away matches, effectively pays for the food for the home leg for both teams. The away club funds the food at their place in much the same way.

It's not subsidised by the club at all.However, team clothing is subsidised and so can be purchased at a discount via the pro shop.

Was that 30p from each entry fee to the Competition 'prize pot'? Doesn't sound a lot but I guess would depend on how many teams it finances & the number of Comps a week.

Club pays for Scratch teams (2 Mens and 2 Womens) and teams in County Scratch competition meals, clothing is subsidised.

All other adult teams Seniors/Divots/Womens Inter club Friendly etc. pay for their own food and clothing - not sure about Juniors.

The money nominally comes from 25% club take from comp entries but in reality is just paid.

How much to enter Comps & how much remains in the prize-pot?
At ours, it's £5 a man which includes 2's (pays £10 a two) with a 28% rake-off for Trophy engraving/replacing & team food for several teams

Off topic but why are your OPs in massive font? The 7-day/5-day one was the same
