No, this topless golf article is not what you may be thinking, but it may help in the grand scheme of planning your next golf event successfully.

I am actually surprised by the number of searches for topless golf that happens every day at Google, but for the purpose of this report, and in the case of golf tournaments, and more specifically tournament golf gift items, going topless can be a good thing.

If you consider all the items given away at tournaments, you could divide them into four categories:

1. Items for the head to waist, consisting of hats, shirts, sunglasses, rangefinders, etc.
   
   
2. Items for the waist down to your toes, consisting of gloves, our own Gotta-Grip golf grip conditioner, ball-markers, watches, divot repair tools, shoes, shoe bags, etc.
   
   
3. Bag items, like coolers, towels, balls, umbrellas, etc.
   
   
4. Other items, anything from trips to furniture, to new cars for a hole-in-one.

Knowing that you could achieve a head-to-toe blend with your goody bag mix may be the first step to providing products, prizes, and awards that keep the player and advertisers coming back again, and again.

As an example, if you offer your players logo items consisting only of hats, sunglasses, lip balm, and a shirt, you have taken care of the top half of the golfer quite nicely.  However, there may be little left for items like logo balls and attention-getting products, depending on your budget.  In addition, not all these items would necessarily remind the golfer of the gift throughout the day as well as a blend of hat, balls, a unique tool, and a chance to win a new car, or a trip to Cancun.

Conversly, only giving away items that are useful but are kept concealed in the bag until needed (balls, umbrella, towels and tees, brushes), you are helping the golfer but not the sponsor who paid good money to have their logo on the item.

A mix of items from all four categories should be what you seek to achieve.  This way you keep all the participants happy and more importantly, keep the sponsors happy so you can plan on them being part of your event next year.

Over the years, I have received many nice gifts when playing corporate and charity golf tournaments.  Some are more memorable that others and some could be considered “fad items”.  Remember when Crocodile Dundee was big?  I played in a tournament that year and we all received that famous C.D. hat he wore (a near replica), and everybody spoke to each other on the course with an Australian accent that day…I have worn it twice since then.  Enough said?

I think in general, choosing one or two items from each category will help your guests enjoy the day and ensure that there will be a next year with regard to sponsorship.

You can see that occasionally, topless golf can be a good thing, but you do not have to neglect any area for best results.
