Why not have a golf party for yourself, friends and family? This article will give you relevant advice on golf party invitations, golf theme party costumes, golf party decorations, food, drink as well as music so your golf party will be remembered by yourself and all who attend!
Golf Theme Party Ideas
Where To Host Your Golf Party?
1. Country Club – These places are absolutely pristine and well looked after. Many of them have their own golf courses too. A little bit of research in your area should bring up any country clubs that have golf courses and will cater for large groups of people for a party. They also tend to be used to having functions and large gatherings. If your golf party is mainly for adults then this could be the best venue for you.
2. Golf Course/Driving Range – This is probably the first place you’d think to host your party. However having it at a golf course could be rather expensive.
3. Home – This would be the cheapest option and would be ideal if there’s going to be kids around. Obviously the amount of golf available will be limited to what you have on offer, but with a little work and clever thinking you can easily set up your own miniature golf games. See further down the page on golf games for your party.
4. Mini Golf Course – This would be another cheap option! If you have a mini golf course nearby then you really should have at least some of your party here and then return home for the rest!
Golf Party Costumes
If you’re a keen golfer then I’m sure you’ll already have some golfing clothes to wear. However what will make this more fun is by turning up with a few accessories. Consider arriving in a golf cart! If this isn’t practical for you then you simply must come with a golf club in hand. For the ultimate golfing accessory, you simply must turn up to the party with your caddy! This could be your guest or partner but make sure they’re dressed up as a caddy and he or she carries your clubs.
Golf Party Decorations
There are many great golf party decorations and you should fill your venue up with as many as your budget will allow for! Here are a few more ideas below:
1. The best colors for a golf party are obviously green and white! You should get many balloons in these colors! You could also create a ballooned archway for your entrance.
2. Get green and white streamers and twist them around each other. You could then use these to adorn table ledges and walls.
3. If you have access to a golf buggy then you should have one parked in your entrance. You could use it throughout the party to give the kids rides around the street.
4. Pin up any posters of famous golfers you may have.
5. You should create a golfing centrepiece somewhere and the best place for this should be the dinner table. You could go for an 18th hole theme or something. Basically try and make your table look like the 18th hole! Start with a green table cloth. You could put some sponge underneath in strategic places to create hills. Cut a hole in the table cloth and glue some sand paper to the underside to represent the bunker. How about some blue paper for the water? Finally you can use a toothpick with a flag on the end for the hole!
6. If you want, put a golf DVD on to play in the back ground!
Golf Party Games
1. Once again, if you have a golf buggy, you can use it to keep the kids quiet.
2. All games consoles are available with awesome golf games. The Nintendo Wii in particular will be able to keep everyone happy while you play virtual golf.
3. How about filling a jar or a vase full with either golf balls or golf tees. When your guests arrive, allow everyone to guess how many are in the jar. The closest to the answer wins a prize.
4. A golf theme party would not be complete without an actual game of golf somewhere or somehow. If you haven’t been to the driving range or if you haven’t invested in a video games system with golf game then you should make your own indoor, or outdoor crazy golf course. This can be extremely fun to play and you can make really great holes with a little imagination. There’s also no harm in using a trowel to create a hole in your grass!
5. If you’re tired later on and would like to chill out then you could all watch the awesome movie The Legend of Bagger Vance starring Will Smith and Matt Damon. In this great film Matt Damon plays a golfer who has lost his swing. Even none golfers will enjoy the film.
6. If you get yourself a golfing net you can even have a full on driving contest in your own yard!
Golf Party Music
The best golf party music i can suggest is the music straight from the Majors.
Golf Party Invitations
Don’t forget to send out your invites, they always increase attendances at parties. Why not print out the template below a few times and send out your invites on them?
You should also create a Facebook group for your party! This is very important, i’m sure you’ve noticed how most people are using Facebook these days for events. It’s an awesome way of creating buzz for your party as the day approaches.
This will also augment your attendance rates since everyone will be able to see just how many of their friends are coming.
Finally a Facebook group for your golf party will enable you and everyone else to upload all your photos and video from the party to the group at the end. This way you’ll have a permanent reminder to your party that people will look at and leave comments on for many years afterwards.
