I'm shooting my company's gold tourney this spring and would appreciate any pointers on doing this task. I'll be shooting with a dslr and have an 80-200 f/2.8 in addition to kit lenses.

You will want to capture key moments of the players, putting, teeing off, etc. Also, some shots of players talking/laughing togther would be good to show they are having a great time.
Maker sure the players are identifiable in the photos. You don't want people saying"That's a nice photo,I wonder who the golfer is?"
You will also want some formal posed photos of the players - a big group, teammates (if you are playing in teams), golfers and caddies (if there are any). And photos of the winners at the end.
A good tip would be to watch a golf game on tv and see what catches your eye as to angles and subject matter. You could also pick up a golf magazine and see what styles and angles they use and try to do the same.
I would practice a little before hand by going to the course and seeing where you can stand to get good pictures and what angles you would like. Also check for shadows during the time of day they will be playing.
I would suggest using a monopod to make sure your shots are clear and not blurry. It would be much easier to use than setting up a tripod at every shot.
Good luck!

Keep your eye on the ball.
