The Special Events Committee sent out a survey asking for input on how Special Events are set up. There were 180 responders. You can see the results by clicking here.

Conclusions

87% of the 180 survey responses were from 156 members who have played in Special Events. Therefore, the conclusions from the survey came from roughly 25% of the Metro Seniors members, most of those have played in Special Events.  Thru August 2023 , 243 Metro Seniors members participated in Special Events. 

64% were willing to pay up to $80 for an event, so $80 or less is a good guideline, and 33% were willing to pay up to $90.  About 2/3 wanted lunch included if the cost targets were met.  Therefore, lunch will be included if the all-in entry cost of $80 or less ($7 prize fee and $2 credit card fee is added to the course cost for golf and lunch).  Two nice country club events a year will go up to $90.

Almost 2/3 of those responding liked the variety of formats with scrambles being the most popular.
