1. Get to Know Your Tournament Players First.
Having a good idea of who is going to walk onto the greens the day of the event is more than a simple data-collecting exercise. It's about making an effort to personally connect with them before the tournament as soon as they are register. Many golf tournament players spend considerable money and time to participate in an exclusive tournament, and should feel like their dedication to participate is recognized by the tournament planner. A personal phone call or letter goes a long way as an initial thank you for their commitment to register. Regardless of how you express thanks to the tournament players before they show up at tee time, it's important to express it personally to each player before the golf tournament begins.
Here are a few reasons why knowing your players a bit before hosting the tournament is important: Knowing if mostly amateur golfers versus avid players are showing up can mean a big difference in what the players expect to get out of the tournament. If you're treating the tournament like an amateur event, but highly skilled golfers are registered, that could spell trouble for your tournament's reputation. If on the other hand mostly amateurs are registered, and the details of the tournament are at a professional level, they could feel overwhelmed by the stature of the event and avoid attending in the future. It's important to know the profile of each player so your tournament meets their expectations.
Besides getting to know the players before the golf tournament, it also behooves the tournament player to have promotional golf gifts and awards selected. A few tips can help you choose the best tournament gifts and awards that appeal to all golfers:
2. Choose a Unique Gift Everyone can Enjoy!
Sometimes the universal coffee mug is the perfect gift for everyone. It's safe, familiar, and usually appreciated because most people will eventually use it. What's lacking in originality is made up in function. How about considering a more functional gift for the avid golfer that is also original? Here's a list of ideas that can make your tournament gifts stand out:
Aqua Caddy - The ball & club washer on the go
Personalized or Promotional Golf Shoe Bags
Custom Golf Towels
Custom Printed Golf Balls
3. Select an Attractive Award for the Tournament Winner.
For the tournament winner, of course, there should always be a prestigious golf award to commemorate their game. There is nothing quite as beautiful as a crystal golf trophy engraved with the winner's name with the date of their score. Besides crystal trophies, bronze statuary, rosewood desk sets, and engraved plaques can also be used to give a personalized award to your tournament winner.
It's important that if a personalized award is to be given to the winner, have the gift already selected and on site for presentation right after the golf tournament. Engraving can be done by a local engraver if their name is to be added to the award, but it's also appropriate to have the award simply customized to commemorate the event. This is less hassle than transporting the award to an engraving shop to be personalized, and allows the winner to take it home immediately. It's also a great way to brand your event, as any crystal or metal trophies can feature your sponsor's logo, or the event logo itself as part of the design.
