Printed Callaway Golf Balls

Here's one I wished I new about a couple of years back - the printed Callaway Big Bertha ball. Why do I pick this one in particular? Well my father in law is an ex-club professional, having worked as club professional in various golf clubs for over 30 years. A couple of years ago, a few years after his retirement, he tells us he was heading out for a round at the local municipal course and at one hole he saw a brnad new ball laying on the ground at the tee. He picked it up and didn't recognise the ball, although the brand was well known to him!

On his own, he decided to use this new find for the hole he was starting on. His story continues that he has never seen a ball fly so far and well as the one he had just hit. The model and brand - well, of course, the Callaway Big Bertha of course. So for his next birthday present he asked for a box of these.

At first we thought it was a joke - he always calls his driver the Big Bertha, regardless of what he's playing with. Many shops later we finally found the ball and made him happy for his birthday. But now that we've teemed up with Jon and the team, we hopefully have a ready source of these balls and for his next birthday (later this month), he might be getting his name printed onto the golf ball as an extra special treat!

Promotional Golf Caps

I've already said that many golfers wear a cap whilst playing - the visor keeps the sun off your eyes when you are swinging, whilst the visor also gives you a marker right in front of your eyes to show if your head is moving during the swing...

Well there are a good range of promotional golf caps available. The range starts with the basic visor for just £2.95 a piece - enough to keep the sun out of your eyes, whilst not trapping the heat at the top of your head (but then again, not protecting it from the sun).

The rest of the range of full caps are then from £3.15 each - with a fabulous 5000 stitch logo included! No wear and tear on printed matter on this cap! Next up are the heavy cotton cap and the tour caddy golf cap, both selling at £4.95 each. The cotton cap is printed and the caddy cap is again including a 5000 stitch logo.

Finally, top of the range is the Polynosic Cap cap for £5.48 a piece and again a 5000 stitch embroided logo included. Get choosing!

Golf Cap Clips

You only need to look out over a golf course and you will soon see just how many golfers out there are wearing a cap of some sort. Many, when playing properly, will pick up their ball around the hole and mark it, ready to clean and take it in turn to putt in.

Well what are you going to mark the ball with and where do you keep the marker? Many keep the marker on their glove with a press stud, but many don't wear the glove for putting.

So the answer is to clip the marker to your cap - with a golf cap clip. Simple! These cap clips start at around £2.49 each and go up to only £4.23 each for a cap clip with a box to keep it in.

The actual clip is not printed, it's the ball marker that attaches to it that is printed onto. This is the bit that the player is seeing every time they mark their ball - thus seeing your logo out of the corner of their eye every time they are concentrating on their play.

You might like to use these as a cheap giveaway or if you own a golf shop, sell them to players heading out onto the course as a souvenir of their day's visit to your course.

Promotional Golf Ball Retriever

There is currently only one promotional golf ball retriever in the catalgoue - but how many variations can you really use? Last time I was sitting in the cafe overlooking the first tee, there was a small group of ladies fresh off the course discussing the benefits of these items and how they could have recovered the ball lost in the water on the 6th had they had one...

And it's not just water traps that these nifty little tools help you recover your ball from. Although, as the ladies discussed, they do not help you lift the ball out of the hole (it must take more effort to walk back to the bag to collect the retriever than just to bend down and lift up the ball) they can also recover golf balls from nettles, thorns and more (you can tell the quality of my golf!). As long as you can see the ball, you can retrieve it.

There is an excellent printing area on the golf ball retriever of 14mm by 60mm, with the compressed length of the tool coming in at only 105cm, yet extending to over two and a half times that length to really reach those awkward balls.

This item should really help your recipients cut down their expenditure on replacement balls - and every time they recover a ball it will be your name on show to them.

Printed Golf Bag Tags

Here's an item that's simple, but has many uses and needs. The printed golf bag tag, or sometimes seen as the promotional golf bag tag is sometimes seen as an essential.

For some golf clubs with regular members and visitors, quite often the bag tag is required to identify members' and visitors' bags. But you may also want to identify bags of competitors in a club competition. Or if you are arranging a golf holiday or are a travel agent booking golf holidays for clients, then golf bag tags can be useful to ensure the owner's spot their bags when they come off the plane.

There is a good choice of golf bag tags. From the cheap and cheerful plastic bag tag for around 77 pence a piece to the leather golf bag tag for just under £3 a piece and up to the really fancy golf fob for about £3.50 each - this one is a really expensive looking item on a clip, ready to attach to the bag.

Promotional Golf Accessories

There are a great range of promotional golf accessories to go along with any marketing campagin you are planning or gettig ready to run. The basic ones, along the lines of the printed golf balls I've already looked at, are the golf balls and golf tees in a tube.

At the other end of the spectrum is the hanging garment carrier - for just over £42 each, these items can be used to carry golf clothing or any other clothing you wish to carry, transport and protect.

Or are you looking for something more suited to a mass distribution or a utility tool? Then there is is the choice of the cleaner for just a few pounds each; the flasks to keep your recipients warm and hydrated out on the course; the putt return for practising the swing and really looking like those American films you see and the rather elegant shoe shine kit - a real bargain and surprise at only around £3.10 a piece!
