If you are searching for logo golf umbrellas and other items to help your tournament if it rains, you might also be surprised to learn that there are other “rainy day golf products” that can help save the day.

Here are some additional product choices that also make a great gift, whether it rains, or not.

Almost all major manufacturers sell rain gloves, rain golf grips, waterproof versions of their golf shoes, Gore-Tex® windbreaker jackets with the latest high tech fabrics that repel and wick away moisture at the same time, Gore-Tex® golf caps, and even rain golf pants.  If that’s not enough, there’s even a bag umbrella that clips onto your golf bag to keep your clubs dry.  I would be remiss if I did not mention our own Gotta-Grip product that has the ability to keep grips feeling new — even in the rain. 

We received word that a user of Gotta-Grip played in a rainy tournament.  He used Gotta-Grip and not only took longest drive, but his foursome won the event.  While we cannot guarantee this every time, we have other testimonials stating how well Gotta-Grip performs in rain, as well as in other conditions.

What is right for your search depends on your budget, your ability to purchase closer to the date of the event, your geography, your historical climatology, and other factors such as your golfer profiles, and whether or not you have an alternate date rain insurance plan.

If your budget allows, and if you live in an area that is sure to receive rain (or if rain is at least highly likely), then spending top dollar for an umbrella could make sense for your golf event.  However, your event will no doubt be like all the others in your area that have to take rain into the equation when putting together the gift items.  The art of selecting what will be given to your golf guests remains an art.

You could plan on spending anywhere between $5 to over $60 on something that may or may not get used.  If it doesn’t rain, the umbrella may not even be opened during the event.  The gamble for the logo sponsor pays off if it rains that day, or perhaps eventually when it rains some future day day.

I like to think about all the things I might need when I go to play in a tournament, and see how many are actually in the goody bag versus my expectations.

If storm clouds are approaching, the umbrella can look good, but if it is 80° and sunny when I left the house or hotel, a combination of umbrella, jacket and hat, will be a welcome sight in addition to and umbrella.

Finally, remember the lasting effect the gift might have.  If you spend $5 on an umbrella and it falls apart the 10th time they open it, you have defeated the purpose of thrift in favor of obsolescence.

There are tournaments with budgets that allow spending over $500 per player.  If this is the case for yours and you foresee rain as a possibility, you obviously can do a better job of covering the guests from head to toe with everything to keep them dry and happy.

Some items require an open order, meaning you have to have many size choices on-hand to guarantee everyone is fitted correctly.  Shoes and jackets fall into this category.  If the promotional or tournament distributor you work with can make such arrangements this can be a big help.  Also, do not forget when pre-registering your guests to ask for everything from color choices to sizes for all forms of apparel.

If you are like most tournaments, you work on a fraction of that budget, but you can still provide the things that ensure a great day on the course, come rain, or shine.
