Signs, Banners and Pin Flags

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:41:43 GMT

Provide sponsors with the recognition that they deserve. Make your golf tournament look first-class with amazing signs. Tee boxes, beverage carts, practice range are all great places for signs but what about golf cart windshield signs and pin flags? Think beyond banners and signs. What about advertising on flagsticks or caddie’s bibs? Contact us for unique signage ideas to provide sponsors with high profile around the golf course.

Custom Tee or Hole Signs

Not your ordinary tee box signs

18”h x 32”w on a wire frame
Full color, digitally produced

Unique and professional, at less expense

Sponsor Recognition Plaques
Sponsor Recognition Plaques can be displayed on the tee box and serve as a gift for your sponsor.

cherry wood plaques measure 12" x 15 ", with an imprint area of 8.5 inches by 11 inches

full color design, with name of tournament, date and sponsor

can be designed as a hole sign replica

great gift for sponsors

Golf Cart Windshield Signs
Golf Cart Windshield signs provide sponsors with highly-visible, all-day recognition. Windshield signs are like giant 'post-it' notes that stick to the golf cart windshields or the front of the cart, leaving no residue. Stretching 18" x 27", across the windshield, these signs really say 'wow', particularly when the carts are lined up at registration.

Pin Flags
Pin Flags are a wonderful sponsorship opportunity. The flags are digitally printed in full-color, on BOTH sides with no show-through. A special sleeve slips over the flag pole at the course. A built-in extended wire presentation will ensure maximum recognition for the sponsor as the golfers approach the hole.
We’d be happy to create a quick, no obligation mock-up, customized for your event.

Lasting impressions from our great clients:

Our experience with Tournaments to a Tee was invaluable. This was our first Golf Tourney and with out Marianne's guidance it would never have been the outstanding day that it turned out to be. The budget planning and schedules were so helpful to keep us on track. Thank you and your staff for a great event. Director, Meetings and Conventions, National Home Infusion Association

Our charity golf tournament was extremely successful and can only be attributed to the combination of diligent planning, easy-to-use tracking tools and the meticulous attention to detail that Tournaments to a Tee brought to organize the event. I'll never coordinate another golf outing with contacting Marianne Lines. Co-Chair, Helping God’s Kids Foundation, Charity Golf Tournament

We have Marianne to thank for an extremely professional tournament experience. From the early development of the tournament to the final profit & loss statements afterwards, the level of service was exceptional. My thanks to Marianne for her efforts to ensure our first golf tournament was a success. Treasurer, Charity Golf Tournament

While preparations for the corporate event were sometimes grueling, Marianne’s quiet determination, keen intellect, sense of humor, and unquestionable integrity were instrumental to the success of the event. I found her to be a fundraiser extraordinaire, an exceptional corporate events organizer and a builder of lasting working relationships. Above all, Marianne Lines is the embodiment of grace under pressure. She is a true inspiration to any of us fortunate enough to have worked with her. Corporate Event Partner

Why organize a golf tournament?

Tue, 02 May 2006 18:47:09 GMT

Interest in golf remains very strong. “Over the past seven years no other sport has experienced as big an increase in the number of people claiming to be fans than has professional golf, and in fact only one other sport has shown an increase at all.” (Golf 20/20 Industry Report 2003, Released June 2004, http://www.golf2020.com)
Golf is such a valuable business tool. “A lot of business executives think they have to be a good player to reap the benefits, but that's not the case. If you're new to the game and playing in an annual company tournament, an outing with the boss, or a round with a client, there's no reason why you can't enjoy the experience. Most important: Trust yourself and your personality. Don't worry whether you're a good player. Relax and enjoy the time with coworkers and business associates.” (How to succeed in business - on and off the course. Dr. Bob Rotella, The Golf Doctor. Business Week Online, November 17, 2003)
Treat your staff, clients and guests a great day of golf at a superb golf venue. A chance to play at an exclusive club or new golf course remains one of the biggest draws for golfers, regardless of skill level.
Advance social goals through fund-raising. If you have a cause that inspires passion, charity golf tournament planning can support your core fund-raising efforts.
Hire Tournaments to a Tee to handle all the details of organizing your golf tournament.
