Someone hands me a box of ProV1's they could be polka dotted, or have my last name tattooed all over them and I'd be happy.

Logo balls don't bother me, but as noted earlier not everyone plays or likes ProV1's.  And they don't last.  As you mentioned, the plaque with the picture is a nice touch, but I would like something that I could use and remember the event.  I have a collection of ball mark repair tools from different courses; one I use all the time.  However, it does not have any engraving on it other than the course name and logo.  Add the date and tournament name, and I would be happy.

We did a very nice tin with a PitchFix marker with out logo on it two years ago, they were very nice, might be time to consider going back to them.

Since you axed me.... if I were the giver of the Prize I'd just give a guy a dozen fresh and  "clean" PV1's and leave it at that. If I were the receiver of the prize I'd be bummed to see a logo plastered on the balls. I don't play logo balls. Never liked them except for collecting.

Great suggestions so far and anyone turning their nose up at free tour balls can mail them to me. I was thinking "pin seeker" too. A few more options "pick it up" -- "that's a gimmie" -- "be the right club today" or my personal favorite "dream weaver"...as in you have to weave your head back and forth to see the flagstick because the ball covers it the whole way.

 

If you wanted to go the more commemorative route, for the same money (or less) you could hand out some badass bag tags. They can even be passed around from event to event like a title belt if your field is consistent.

 

Make up a fun tradition like current CTP bag tag holder never has to pay for a beer. Or collect them at the end of the year from all the CTP winners; each tag surrendered is worth one entry in a drawing for 4 dz personalized balls. But in my experience, programs that encourage transferable bragging rights also generally cultivate camaraderie.

Logo is definitely not a problem, easier to identify my ball. I want a ball to say "Hit me hard".

I want to get some feedback from everyone here and hope you have fun playing along!

 

So you're playing in a charity scramble, and you win one of the closest to the pin holes.. You get called up during the after golf awards to get your prize and it's a 1 dozen ProV's...Awesome right?

 

Would it bother you at all if the balls had the course logo on it?

 

Beyond that, would it bother you more if it had the logo and "Contest Winner" or something to that affect on the personalized line.

 

Then lastly, open up to brainstorming....what sort of inscription do you think would be good for a such a prize or that wouldn't bother you. For your time and thoughts, there will be a little something given out. I'll use a random selection process of everyone who offers a suggestion, to pick a winner.

 

thanks looking forward to your replies!!

The logo + text would bother me. Most golfer I can't see really caring and I would still play them just use as "practice round" balls.

 

I think a good text line would be (Insert Charity) Golf Scramble 2017.

I play the Callaway Truvis so a logo would not be distracting in the least to me.  Now my buddy that uses Pro V1s who I would give them to might be distracted but as with most anything, if it is free he would play them lol.

I like the idea of getting a prize for ctp, even better if it's a box of premium golf balls like pro v1's. Logos of the course would be fine for me. If your going to use it for all your tourneys, then a generic saying like "pinseeker", "par 3 Slayer" or "CTP Master" might be cool for a tag line (or any of the previous lines mentioned).

 

You could just put the company logo on and leave it at that as well, with a less is more thought. Or company logo with website/phone number on it. Double as a marketing thing.

The course logo I wouldn't be bothered by at all, but "Contest Winner" may not be my favorite personalization. I'd be satisfied with just the course logo on it personally, but if it did have a personalization on it, I think just a hashtag or phrase on it wouldn't be too much. Like #PowerToThePlayer ;) or something along those lines that makes it "personal". That's just a 23-year old opinion, though haha

As far as the logo goes unless it covers a huge portion of the ball - so minor that it is trivial.  There are some superstitious guys (or gals) out there that won't use a ball with a logo.

 

How about a stamp instead of a logo?

If the balls had a logo, I wouldn't use them - they would go in the collection of other things to look at.

 

I also like the idea of medals or plaques.

 

Even a hand-stamped copper ball marker! ;) or a divot tool would be good - something that the winner use, but not lose.

I like this as it suits me too.

A nice high end divot tool with ball marker is always welcome and when used encourages others to do the same.

The V's would be given away to friends and others on the tee box.

Logo wouldn't bother me. Think the idea of ProV1s is great.

 

I tried to come up with a great tag line but do think the tournament name and the year is solid. Also might even add the course name to it too.

I like the idea of a customized ball marker or a nice divot tool. I have a hard time seeing white golf balls in the air and i would end up giving them away. The other downside of balls is that I lose them too quickly. Ball markers and divot tools last a long time and are cool to have around.

Free is free. Wouldn't care at all about the logo. If it's a good ball, I'd put it in play the next day.

By winning any type of prize would be an accomplishment. There for with the personalization stated would be awesome to win. Having the course logo would also be a nice touch just not too big of a distraction on the ball. Other than that I believe anyone would be happy with the PROV's!

Winner:

 

Congrats to CJWeigmann as his post was randomly selected to receive the prize of a Dozen ProV1's   They may or may not have a logo on them....he'll have to wait and see...

 

Also a consolation prize is being sent to cnosil for his brilliant idea of imprinting a redeemable value on the ball.  We may or may not use that in some way, but I've been thinking a lot over the weekend in different ways it could be used.   Also once redeemed, we could sell the ball individually in a "used" ball jar for say $2.00 and that way it could be used over and over again.   The gift that keeps on giving as Cousin Eddie might say...HA

I wouldn't care either way. I agree having it Say "contest winner" or something to that effect would be cool. Or promoting the event or charity.

Side note, a member of a club I played at used to put his name and business on his Pro V. He owned a local jewelry store and it said "bring in for 10% off your next purchase"

Thanks for the ideas and thoughts far guys.....And I laughed out loud at wbealsd and GSDave about finding the contest winner ball in the weeds or trees..LOL

 

also I should say, these are meant to be used the entire season for every outing, so having an individual outing name isn't an option in this case. We do that for ones that are being given away at registration as a gift for outings that buy them.

 

Some good ideas so far!!

You're asking from the course's standpoint? Then of course logo balls are fine, trust me no matter what anyone says they are not leaving Pro V1s unplayed because of a logo. For a common line, maybe something that recalls a great iron shot. "Flagged It" "Throwing Darts" "Knocked It Stiff" anything like that gives you the idea.

Non golf ball ideas could be a Yeti or Steel Water Bottle w the course logo, or maybe a Bluetooth speaker.

Yes, I wanted to know from players perspective how they would feel winning PROV's with a logo or inscription. Would they feel it cheapened it

 

The other items you mentioned have all been discussed. Yeti Tumblers with our small discreet logo were really a hot idea. Apparently though Yeti won't deal with you unless your talking thousands of tumblers not hundreds.

 

I also like the Puma SoundChuck. Especially the new mini one. We couldn't get it logo'd (we asked) but it would be a cool gift.
