Golf day hole sponsorship
Twenty holes, twenty sponsors, one pick sheet.
Getting from “the day is booked” to every hole having the right stock on it by first tee takes roughly two hundred phone calls, WhatsApps and emails. PINOVA turns that into a link per sponsor and one sheet for the club.

The organiser stops chasing blind
One board for the whole day. Which holes are sorted, which are halfway, which nobody has sold yet — and a nudge for the stragglers, without ringing round to find out who is which.
A sponsor who takes a banner and orders nothing is finished, not a problem — the board says so rather than leaving it looking outstanding all week. The organiser sees no money: what a sponsor pays is between them and the club.
How a day runs
01
The club
Loads its own price list from a spreadsheet and sets up the day. Its prices, its tax invoices, its stock — nothing changes about who sells what.
02
The organiser
Sells the holes and sends each sponsor a link to their own hole. A live board shows which are sorted and which still need chasing.
03
The sponsor
Opens the link, orders from the club's price list or declares their own liquor and pays corkage, enters company details, pays. The club's tax invoice arrives by email.
04
Before play
At cut-off the club gets one consolidated pick sheet and a delivery card per hole, so the right stock is on the right hole before the first tee.
What the club gets
The club keeps the sale, the licence and the margin. What it stops doing is the administration around them.
Your price list, not ours
Upload the club's spreadsheet, see exactly what changed before anything goes live, and it becomes a new version rather than overwriting the old one. What a sponsor was charged never changes afterwards.
Your tax invoice
Club name, VAT number, liquor licence, logo, and the club's own invoice numbers. Issued and emailed the moment a sponsor pays, with the PDF attached.
Corkage is an ordinary item
Roughly half of sponsors would rather bring their own. They declare it and pay the club's corkage through the same flow — a good outcome for the club, not a leak to plug.
One pick sheet, one card per hole
At cut-off the whole day consolidates into a single stock list for the cellar, and a card per hole for whoever loads the cart. PDF and CSV.
Three ways for a sponsor to pay
Instant EFT first because it is the cheapest, then card, then on invoice — a proforma with a reference, for the corporate sponsor who raises a purchase order and pays on thirty days.
Closed 72 hours before play
Ordering stops three days out, every time. The cellar buys against a list that cannot move under it, and nobody has to police the deadline by hand.
Where the club earns more
Not from a bigger margin — the club sets its own prices and is paid the prices it set. From the money a golf day leaks while it is being run by phone.
Corkage that actually gets charged
Roughly half of sponsors bring their own liquor. On paper that is the club's better-margin outcome; in practice it is a conversation on the morning that often does not happen. Here corkage is an ordinary item on the price list, agreed and paid days before anyone arrives.
Holes that would have quietly gone unsold
The board separates a hole nobody has sold from one that is sold but has not ordered, and nudges the second. Chasing happens while there is still time to fix it, rather than in the week of the day.
Orders off the whole list
A sponsor choosing from the club's own catalogue sees everything the club sells — ice, soft drinks, snacks, hire — not only what someone remembered to mention on a call.
Paid before play, not invoiced after
Money is collected up front, and any order left unpaid at cut-off is cancelled rather than carried. Nothing is bought for a hole that was never going to pay, and there is nothing to chase afterwards.
For example
R10 000
On a twenty-hole day, four sponsors bringing their own liquor who would have been waved through on the morning instead pay corkage at R2 500 a hole. That is one mechanism, on one day — and it is arithmetic on an assumption, not a promise. We have not run enough days to quote you an uplift percentage, and the ones printed elsewhere are guesses dressed up as data.
What it does not change
The club stays the seller on every order. Its prices, its liquor licence, its tax invoice number sequence, its stock. PINOVA handles the ordering and the payment on the club's behalf, and never takes possession of anything.
The club's own prices
Loaded from the club's price list. The club is paid the prices it listed.
The club's own invoice
Every sponsor gets a tax invoice in the club's name, from the club's number sequence, immediately on payment.
No cost to the sponsor
Sponsors pay no booking fee and make no account. They see the club's day, not ours.
For sponsors
Somebody sent you a pinova.co.za link?
A link like pinova.co.za/s/… is for one hole, at one club's golf day, held for your company by whoever is organising it. Opening it shows you the club's name and the club's own price list.
You order stock or say you are bringing your own, you pay, and the club's tax invoice reaches you straight away. You are never asked to create an account, and there is no fee on top.
Before you pay
Check the club named on the page is the club you were told about, and that the hole and the day match. If anything looks wrong, don't pay — phone the club directly and ask. A real sponsorship will still be there afterwards.
