Sources for your team funding (II)

Should you not be able to get funds from on-campus sources, here's what you could do:

1) ask special service clubs for funds. Clubs like Rotary and many others do support projects if they are within their stated purposes. Your points could address management/societal values like sportsmanship, fairness and competition; team work; intercultural exchange; of course golf development at your university...

2) ask your local golf hero for support. We once asked Bernhard Langer to donate one of his clubs. We then auctioned off his club and made a small fortune (we tried the same with Ernie Els to help the South Africans players to cover their travel costs, but after a couple of promising mails with his assistent we lost contact. Seve Ballesteros didnt even bother to write back).  

3) make a savings plan and stick to it. 15 € per month from the beginning of you winter term until June of the follwing year will pay for your entry fee. Covering the air fare will be a piece of cake then.

4) challenge the strongest senior golf club team in your area. They of course will have to pay your greenfee. If you win, they pay you a sum, if the lose, you get nothing. Should be reasonably fair.
