fortysixandtwo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 New to the forum and loving it so far. I'm in charge of coming up with a prize package for the long drive contest in an upcoming tournament. Last year I put together a package that included the token golf balls, tees, towel, etc. I was also able to get a chiropractor to donate a back adjustment and a massage therapist to donate a massage. I'm looking for ideas this year that go beyond the balls, tees, etc, but would like to keep the package around $100. What have you seen or won in a golf prize package that you thought was useful or funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Best thing to give is a gift certificate to the pro shop or another gift card to the local big box store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookieBlue7 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Worst thing you could possibly give to a long drive winner (and it happens waaaaaay too often) is to give them a new driver... That is the most laughable one I've seen and everyone does it. I just won long drive so I need a new driver? LOLI'd suggest either pro shop credit, a nice bottle of liquor, or something similar.

fortysixandtwo Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Good ideas. The winner of every putting contest gets a new putter. I don't understand it either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Gift Cards to the Pro Shop are what most of our outings offer. Others have offered: Putter-Drive for Show, putt for dough FYI, your course can get you a great price on that Cleveland Huntington Beach putter right now, to come at your budget or a couple dollars below. And it's a beauty. Wedge-You smashed your drive, now wedge it close Ok enough of the corny ones, if you haven't booked your outing yet, and it's a pretty decent size, and your area is competitive, meaning all courses would love to have your outing. Ask the course to donate something, we have donated an annual pass to the outing as incentive for them to book. A future complimentary foursome (again the course should donate it). Hope those help.

Brian A Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Agree with anything but a driver. Honestly, the gift certificate to the pro shop is probably the most usable. However if you want a small token they can show off aliens8mycow makes great custom ball markers. Every time I use my personal one, people ask where I got them and compliment how cool they are Driver: G425 9* Hzrdus Smoke Green Small batch 6.5 70g Fairway Wood: Cobra Radspeed Big 3 Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Hybrid: Cobra Aerojet 5 Wood Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Irons: T200 (4-AW) AMT Black Stiff Shafts Wedges: Tour Rack 56* 60* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGolfHacker Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 How about a plaque denoting the long drive at your event and a $50/$75 gift card to a nice restaurant in your area? A distance measuring device like a laser would be a cool gift but that will stretch your budget to about $150 (The Nexus Precision Pro runs $150 but if you join their mailing list they give you $10 towards it bringing it down to $140 plus taxes/shipping).

fortysixandtwo Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Truck nuts...awesome idea!! Hang them off your cart or bag to show them off!! I've seen some that have a LED light inside to really make them glow!! The tournament is a fund raiser/benefit tournament. I live in a small town, the course is the only one in town and only 9 holes. No proshop here. But I could do gift cards to a sporting goods store close by. @Apes44, I like the ball marker idea, I will look into that one. @poprocksncoke, is that a putter, driver, or both???
