Is your golf tournament filled with excited players?

Promote the prizes that you’re giving out, and you may see a significant increase of player registration. Our sales team usually sends you photos of your awards before they ship in our photo booth to get you excited. Why not share that excitement with everyone else? Maybe post it on your twitter/instagram/Facebook pages. Sometimes you’ll get tagged by us on Twitter when we ship your awards because we want to share the excitement about the trophies that you helped design. We want to show them off! You should too.
MORE PROMOTION: One of the many reasons to order your awards for an in-hand date a month before your event, is that you can then display your carefully thought out prizes in the golf shop to get members buzzing about your event.
Horse race events are perfect for our custom horseshoe awards. Martis Camp did these for their event, and they turned out great. We engraved their logo so that we could show off the detail on their club logo. One horseshoe has their tourney logo, and the other their club logo (2 different events).
Squire Creek did great and contacted us early January with a list of events with themes that they wanted us to design for. The Peach Invitational trophies are one of the several that we’ve created. For each event we kept their base consistent with color and logo placement.
Skagit G&CC have a few different designs for their winners which gives variety to their prize table. They also sometimes give out a member award. This year they have a member that they honoring who loves the casino, so we designed a ‘winnings’ award with metal cash. It’s a nice idea to honor your members this way.
Sonnenalp had the idea for the hummingbird and sent us a sketch and photo that we worked from. We love bring your creative genius to life! Then they had us create a perpetual shootout trophy with replica pistols.
Windsong Farm carefully and collectively came up with their Champion Paso Fino plaques designs. We worked with them to create a ‘just right’ award that they’re proud to give out. Their flight winner awards keep the rustic them but in a standard trophy style with a horseshoe.
Rock Barn‘s Member-Guest awards focused on their logo and club colors with a clean look. Sometimes just keep it simple and promote your brand. Your trophies don’t have to have a theme every time. Branding is important!
Champions Retreat chose to make their champion trophies’ focal point a tree that all their members will recognize as their ‘broccoli’ tree. This award is special to their club and no other club! Then they broke away from the crowd by doing a completely different design and color scheme for their flight winners. They used their state of Georgia’s silhouette and the star indicates where their club is; Evans, Georgia & proud!
Chambersburg CC chose to make their base the shape of Pennsylvania where their club is. Pennsylvania & proud! The color of the base matches the color of the trees’ trunks at their facility. We made their logo as a 2nd focal point on their award. The tree is 3 layers to give more dimension and not let it look ‘flat’.
Sunset CC did a few different awards for their Invitational with us, which is featured in the last blog. This bocce ball award was a last minute order. The bocce ball featured actually was replaced with a tournament bocce ball, but I didn’t get a photo of it before it shipped. Time was of the essence on this project.
That’s all for the ‘Promote your Tournament’ blog today! Thanks for all your support!
