Golf Gloves and Clubs

Golf Glove for Each Golfer

Long after the tournament is over, golfers will remember receiving a golf glove. Sponsors love the exposure that lasts after the tournament.

No need to worry about the sizing – this is one of the best features of this golfer gift. If you have 144 golfers, we send you more than enough gloves, in the most popular sizes, for men and women. The gloves come with your logo pre-applied and you add the dome logo decals as needed. You return all the unused gloves and only pay for what you use. Super cost effective!

The golfers are amazed and the quality of the gloves is exceptionally good. Sponsors often buy more gloves, with their logo, after the event.

Logo'd Clubs

Custom logo clubs will make your golfers feel pretty special. Not in your budget for each golfer? First, second and thrid place teams deserve awards for their stellar performance.

Founder Bio

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:14:02 GMT

“If one of us can make a difference just think of what we can do together, “challenges Marianne Lines, founder of Tournaments to a Tee.

Marianne launched Tournaments to a Tee after 20 years of owing and operating her own businesses. Once a communication manager and an executive director for a non-profit organization, she has extensive experience in marketing and orchestrating events to acheive financial success.

Award-winning Events and Fundraiser Extraordinaire
As an event organizer and fundraiser, Marianne has managed hundreds of events, secured millions of dollars in sponsorships and is respected for her professional delivery, attention to detail and dependable follow-through. She is the recipient of several awards, recognizing her tireless efforts of hosting high-profile environmental events. Not only is she visionary, but she excels in fund raising and coordinating the necessary details to deliver first-class events.

The Power of Golf Tournaments

So what does this have to do with golf? No other sport fosters so much participation or generosity as golf. And tournaments are a powerful tool to raise money for amazing causes. When a move to Texas re-ignited Marianne’s passion for golf, it was not long before she translated her passion for bringing people together to make a difference into helping golf tournaments.

Under Marianne's leadership Tournaments to a Tee has built a reputation as a leading golf tournament management company, dedicated to the success of association, charitable and corporate golf tournaments nationwide.

One way to achieve this is to say thank you (in a big way) to each golfer – regardless of your budget. 1. Golfers remember their welcoming gift or ‘goody bag, long after the tournament is over. All golfers will look forward to your tournament next year if you give a gift that is memorable and usable. 2. Biggest gift-giving mistake? Don’t skimp and give each golfer the highest quality item within your budget. Chose two to three quality items instead of a plastic bag filled with trinkets. A popular trend is buying pre-packaged tee gifts that include balls, tees, towels and bag. 3. Show your true appreciation. Put some thought into the golfer gift and show each golfer how special they are. For the price of a golf shirt, provide everyone with sunglasses or a golf club with a sponsor's logo. 4. Absolute hit? An absolute...
