Building the Perfect Golf Event Kit

Golfing tournaments and events offer a chance for you to build brand recognition in your community and raise funds for charity. At the same time, organizing a golf event helps you network with potential business partners, clients, and customers. According to Forbes, 90 percent of Fortune 500 Company CEOs play golf, and 80 percent of executives believe golf helps them establish new relationships. 

A golf event should have its own promotional products, which can include branded polo shirts commemorating the event, drinkware, and, of course, golf kits. A golf kit is something event participants will use every time they hit the greens, and serves as a reminder of both the event and your brand. Below are some promotional golf kit suggestions to make your next golfing event especially memorable. 

Premade Golf Kits

The simplest way to acquire promotional products for a gold event is to purchase pre-made golf kits. Promotional golf kits come in a range of prices, so you can easily find a kit that meets your marketing budget. Possibilities include: 

• The Callaway VIP Set, which comes in an attractive pouch and includes a 4-in-1 divot tool, dual-mark poker chip, and twenty 2-¾ inch performance tees. Both the pouch and its contents can be customized with your logo.
• The 2 Ball Tall Tube with Wilson Chaos Golf Balls includes two Wilson Chaos golf balls and twelve 2-¾ inch wooden tees. Customize the golf balls with a one or two color one-pole imprint. A one color ink imprint customizes the tees with your logo or brand name. 
• The Posh Golf Kit is a PVC polyester golf kit with with black faux fur interior lining. The bag features a top zipper closure to keep items secure, an outside pocket for easy access, and an exterior pen loop for easy access. Use the kit bag as a base for building your own customized golf kits. 

Golf Kits and Promotional Drinkware

Golf event participants are going to spend plenty of time in the sun, so give them the opportunity to stay hydrated. A drinkware golf kit includes tees, balls, and other golfing essentials, all packaged in a tumbler or water bottle gift recipients can use during the event. Any of the following make great golf kit promotional products:

• The Kong Golf Kit is a 26 oz. Kong vacuum insulated tumbler packed with a 15" x 18" polyester blend white towel with hook and grommet, four 2-3/4" tees, a divot repair tool, undecorated golf ball marker, Naples sunglasses, and an optional extra golf ball. 
• The Odin Golf Kit starts with a 20 oz. Odin vacuum insulated tumbler. Inside the tumbler your gift recipient will find a 15" x 18" golf towel with grommet and hook, four 2-3/4" tall tees, a divot repair tool, and undecorated golf ball marker. Include an optional golf ball of your choice with the kit.
• The Basic Cart Caddy includes a 24 oz. Polyclear water bottle, a 15" x 18" golf towel with grommet and hook, six 2-3/4" tall tees, two undecorated ball markers, and a divot repair tool. Like the choices above, this golf kit comes with an optional extra golf ball. 

Build Your Own Promotional Golf Kit

Attractively packaged and presented though premade golf kits are, it’s obvious the kits are mass-produced. There’s nothing wrong with using pre-assembled promotional products for large events, of course, but if you want to really impress your golf event participants, make them personalized kits based on their needs and preferences. Possible promotional products you can add to a customized golf kit include:

• The Oval Golf Tee Carrier: Two ball markers and eight plastic tees are securely held in this handy carrier which features a carabiner style clip to attach on your golf bag.
• The 3-Ball Clear Sleeve With Custom Golf Balls: Give your event participants three tournament golf balls in a clear, customized sleeve. 
• A sublimated, antimicrobial Cooling Towel designed to evaporate water at the coolest temperatures on the market. 
• An Impact Divot Tool in Levit8 Window Box: showcase your logo with this practical divot tool’s unique “floating” packaging. 
• A Golf First Aid Kit: Golf isn't a high-risk sport, but accidents happen. This compact first aid kit comes with a selection of bandages, alcohol pads, sanitizing wipes, a golf divot tool, two tees, and two ball markers.

Other options for your golf kit include sunscreen, hand sanitizer, cooling towels, and golf visors or umbrellas to keep players cool in the summer sun. 

You’ll need something to package your golf kit. A 22 oz. Tempercraft Vacuum Bottle made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel. Or, for a larger golf kit, consider the Carhart Lunch Cooler, an insulated cooler bag with room for six beverage cans. Add a beverage and some snacks to the lunch pail along with your golf promotional products for a much-appreciated gift.
