WIN THE ULTIMATE GOLF BUG ADVENTURE TO BARNBOUGLE, CAPE WICKHAM AND OCEAN DUNES! Golf Month is back this October and it’s bigger and better than ever. Last year we had 435 clubs and facilities involved and we’re hoping to top that in 2017. As a national campaign to drive golf participation, supported by the entire Australian golf industry, Golf Month is a fantastic opportunity to promote your club, engage your local community, welcome new people to golf or simply put on an event to celebrate the game we all love. So please make sure your club is involved and has a Golf Month activity on the website. The 2017 Golf Month marketing campaign focuses on inspiring our game’s strongest advocates – club members and passionate golfers – to share the golf bug with friends and family. That’s why this year’s competition, offers them the chance to win the ultimate golf bug adventure to Barnbougle, Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes! You can promote the competition and your Golf Month activities using a range of marketing materials that we’ve made available through the Golf Month website, including posters that can be displayed at your club. Don’t deprive your members of the chance to win this amazing prize! On the marketing kit page, you’ll also find digital advertising assets that you can use on your websites and email signatures, as well as a media release template that you can tailor to your needs. 24 I GOLF MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA I In early September, we’ll share the Golf Month videos (we’re quietly confident you’ll love them) with suggested text for posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Once the national marketing campaign gets into full swing in mid-September, if you have a Golf Month activity on the website, you’ll benefit from targeted social media advertising, in-show radio content from media partners, radio advertising, digital advertising on industry-owned channels (including the handicap history page of www.golf.org.au), YouTube pre-roll advertising, search engine marketing, and partnerships with Australian Golf Digest and Golf Australia magazine. The Golf Month team will also be working hard to get coverage of Golf Month in the media, so let’s work together to share the golf bug this October.
