Suggestions for golf gifts – I’m to donate a club of choice to a charity outing?
As the title says I am donating a club of choice to a charity golf outing – the club/donation will be raffled off to one of the participating players – and I am looking for suggestions as far as what to donate. I’d like to donate something that will stand out and be desired as a prize by as many entrants as possible, but also something that would actually be useful to the winner. I am looking for direction as far as what type of club (ie driver, iron, wedge, putter, etc) and brand/model would fit the criteria. Beyond a club donation if there are any suggestions for pros and club fitting services in the NYC area, the information would be more than appreciated.
a scotty cameron putter hell id try to win it lol
While a club may seem like a good choice it may not be the best. Imagine that you may have tall guys, short guys, tall ladies, short ladies, strong ladies, seniors, etc (you get the drift I guess…) at the raffle. What will that ‘lil old lady golfer do with your super-duper driver with stiff shaft and oversized grips?
One club doesn’t fit all, unless of course all raffle participants are of the same gender and same built.
In my opinion a club voucher may be a better option, not as flashy but a lot more usable. You could make a dummy voucher out of cardboard that stands out on the prize table.
If you are donating a single club as the title suggests, then you will want to go with a driver, a wedge or a putter.
Most golfers purchase/use a set of irons, so they will likely not be interested in a single iron.
The over-sized drivers are all the rage the last two years, so a donated driver will get a lot of attention. An Odyssey or Cameron putter will get a lot of interest.
Most golfers are carrying 2 or 3 wedges in their bags now. So a loft wedge or a sand wedge would be a fine prize. (A pitching wedge often comes with the set of irons.)
Scotty Cameron Studio Design Putter (They can be fitted the player, they are instantly recognizeable as high quality and the performance is excellent. The weight and shaft flex won’t be an issue like a driver and putting is the most important part of the game (drive for show and putt for doe), I have the studio 2.5.
A driver seems to be the most desireable. If it’s a top brand (Titleist, Ping, Calloway, Nike) the players will all want it. If it’s a drawing where anyone can get it that’s even better. I’ve seen drivers given away for long drive hits and putters given for longest putts made. That doesn’t make sense. Your donation will be much appreciated and the winner will be happy. Good luck.
No info on the club fitting in NYC however if you fly to Arizona check out Hot Stix Golf in Scottsdale. Great company.
I have been to a few charity events and I’ve seen some of the new Hybrid clubs as prizes…I think they are a great idea for all levels of golfer as they can all use these clubs and most are interested in getting one
Nike SQ Sumo2 driver. Get a regular shaft, with 10.5 degrees, of loft(STandard and will fit most golfers) The Square clubhead will really attracted golfers to brag to their buddies about their new square cool driver.
A Nice Gift Card For Dicks, Sports Authority, Or Modells Would Be Quite Nice. Good Luck To Ya.
