I am not very good but love to play.  Would be very interested in something like this.

That's okay because since we're fundraising for a good cause, we could use this to our advantage and encourage players to purchase mulligans for $5 - $10 a pop. Don't like your last shot? Buy another!

We could even setup one bay to have a closest to the pin competition with a prize. Everyone who wants to play has to buy in at $50. Each additional shot after that is $35 or purchase four attempts for $100. 

For those who don't play golf, 1611 also has a gastropub with TV playing sports. A raffle at the door would allow non-golfers to participate and win donated UNT swag prizes. Maybe, just maybe, a generous UNT Hub Club season ticket holder will donate some HUB Club Tickets to raffle away. 

Would be great to have a GMG corporate title sponsor that could cover the costs of the rental bays and the UNT raffle give-aways.

Sounds like you have an idea of what and how to do it.  I say, move ahead with the plans and let us know what we can do to help.

Crunching the numbers... The cost to rent out 1611 Golf on a Saturday for 3 hours (10 am-1 pm) is $1,750. Included is all 8 Trackman hitting bays with 4 golfers per bay. This would allow for a 32 player, single-round tournament. If I can land a corporate sponsor to cover the cost for the rental bays in exchange for online and in-person exposure, 100% of the entry fees would go to the LTTC NIL.

Big questions is, what is the right entry fee price point to lock-in 32 players while still being able to donate a good chunk of change to the LTTC NIL? Entry fee of $125? (32 players x $125 = $4000) Curious to hear the board's thoughts.

Timing wise, I'm thinking Saturday August 26th, one week before we kickoff the season vs Cal.

I play golf.  Not sure I would classify myself as a golfer, though.

How about a bowling tournament too?  That meets the "indoor" requirement, and goes well with beer drinking. 😉

 

 

Truth in advertising: I'm neither a golfer or a bowler, and I don't drink much beer...

      Temple game to be on ESPNU 10/14 @ 11 a.m.

      This is really cool considering that we're located in a significant zone and it will be happening during the game. To your question, I don't recall any major sports activity experiencing a > 80% eclipse. I'm sure it's happened, but probably pretty rare. Here's an animation of the affects/times for the entire Earth. https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2023/

      Tyler Perry called best shooter in America

      The practice facility wasn't an issue getting Perry to NT. Obviously it attracted you to NT also...

      North Texas vs Navy (10/06/2023) Score Predictions

      The odds line has went from Navy -5 to -6 points for our game. Navy hosted USF last weekend. Navy controlled the clock 31 min to 29 min (expected with a running offense). Navy rushed 48 times for 254 yds. USF 44 times for only 135 yards. However, Navy only passed 11 times for 90 yards, compared to USF passing 34 times for 338 yards. In summary Navy had 59 plays to USF's 78 plays. USF won 44-30. Navy will get their yards rushing, but we have to get a lot more passing!

      Breaking: SOC DB Kerry Williams commits to North Texas

      Last 2 games against inferior schools (Dallas Adamson & Dallas Spruce), Kerry had a 75 yard pick 6 (Adamson) and a 77 yard pick 6 against Spruce. Their overall secondary got off to a shaky start of the season but is improving.

      Game Day Experience (Week 4)

      I had a great time as I usually do. Some great observations made in this thread. I drive right at 2 hours to the games, so I got a head start on the drive home and didn’t stay for the drone show. I wanted to, but I knew I could be about halfway home by the time it ended. Glad to hear it was worth staying for though. Next time I might choose to stay. Minor complaint: Why can’t the NE scoreboard show more scores? It kept showing the same 9 scores over and over. I’ve noticed in the past they don’t show a lot of scores, but never realized it was so few. I don’t want scores constantly running, but maybe during a timeout run through 20-30 different games.
