Many golf tournaments – especially brand new events – mistakenly think a charity fundraiser golf tournament means everything should be donated, right? On the surface that makes sense because if you spend money that theoretically takes profit away from the charity. However, as the saying goes, you need to spend money to make money and that also applies to your charity golf tournament. One place you are going to need to spend money is on quality golf tournament prizes and goodie bags. Many golf tournament goodie bags are frankly filled with junk for lack of a better term. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to spend like a drunken sailor, but you do need to develop a realistic budget and stick to it. One idea we talk about repeatedly is to fill your golf tournament prize bag with gifts tournament players can use during their round that day and throughout the year. Also make sure any logos are subtle…golfers don’t want to look like Nascar drivers! Stick to these simple principles and your tournament will be successful!...

The Golf Tournament Gift Bag A-B-C’s Are you responsible for finding the upcoming golf goody bag prizes, well here are some golf tournament gift bag A-B-C’s. We know many Golf Tournament Organizers think the quantity of their goodie or “swag” bag is important. While good intentioned, free pens, calculators and other miscellaneous items usually are discarded at the end of the tournament. These items may come from your sponsors (which is important to be sure), but what good are cheap items that go in the cart barn trash can? Here are the golf tournament gift bag a-b-c’s. A. Select gifts that are easily attached to or go in the golf bag. These are primarily items that will go home with the participants and remind them of your tournament as they play golf and make them want to participate when next year’s event comes around. B. Stay within budget. We also know you are most likely on a budget. Every year golf tournament organizers like yourself will weigh the question of costs vs. benefits of their golf tournament gifts while keeping an eye on the main goal which is raising as much money as possible for the charity or cause. C. Never give gifts that may be viewed as “Cheap.” One good rule of thumb is to put yourself in your tournament participants shoes (or spikes as the case may be!). Are you going to appreciate a coffee mug, coozie, and calendar? Do plastic water bottles, granola bars, and pens make you all warm and fuzzy? D. Choose usable items. Your gift selections need to be hands on if possible. The bottom line is quality “logoed golf items” in your prize bags will outperform for both sponsors and participants alike. Here are a few examples – logo...

Request Donation Dear Mark, I would like to express our appreciation for your generous golf tournament gift of Greens Towels to our 8th Annual Michael’s Miracles Golf to Cure Diabetes Charity Golf Event held on May 9th and the beautiful Mattawang Golf Club in Belle Mead, New Jersey.

Your generosity does not go without the appreciation of the families whose lives have been adversely affected by this disease.

Hi Mark – The Kiwanis Foundation of Middletown held its annual golf tournament on the 16th and everyone loved the Greens Towel golf tournament prize. The event had a very good turnout and was a great success. We raised needed funds to support the charity initiatives of our Kiwanis Foundation. The Greens Towel in the Kiwanis royal blue with the sharp logo etching looked great and went right on the golf bag of the participants. I’ve attached a couple of pictures from the tournament. Thank your...

Dear Greens Towel, Our Lori M. Tyack’s 7th Annual Golf Outing was a great success! The Greens Towel Charity Golf Outing Donation provided by Clip Wipes were a hit and all the golfers commented on how nice they were to use. The microfiber fabric is very soft and very absorbent which made the Greens Towel a very versatile gift to hand out to all of our golfers. It’s hard to find a tournament prize that everyone can use and appreciate, but the Greens Towel fit the bill nicely. The Greens Towel gracious donation to support our event was greatly appreciated by both the tournament organizers and the tournament players. Best wishes on your continued success!...
