Personalized Gifts for the Golf Nut

Tiger Woods in the Press – Wood-dee tees on the Golf Course

It’s hard not to comment on the Tiger Woods Press Conference that is scheduled for 11am EST today, even though I for one have had enough. The Golf Writers of America have decided to boycott the event which they call, “a major story of international scope” unless it is opened to all the media outlets with questions. Could you imagine that circus? My feeling is the Golf Writers are boycotting because they don’t have a seat at the interview table which sounds like some split milk to me. Therefore, instead of me trying to predict what is going to be said, I cast my vote for a statement of apology and some comment about space for him and his family as they try to heal. In other words, I would hate to see this thing strung out and played out in the media by Mr. Woods himself or the media types. My feeling is that there are enough reminders, story lines and products that will keep this crazy story in front of us golfers for the rest of the year. Those of you that don’t believe me, just try to watch your golfing companions figure out the mistress names on the Wood-dee scrambled golf tees.

www.thegolfteestore.com going green for logo golf balls

Golf statistics always amaze me and the statistics surrounding the golf ball in the USA is no exception. Here are some facts concerning the golf ball in the US. Did you know that close to 600 million new golf balls are purchased in the US each year? Did you also know that over 300 million golf balls are lost or discarded in the US that same year? Did you know that the golf ball takes between 100 and 1000 years to decompose?  Did you know that when a golf ball decomposes it releases toxic zinc in the process, not to mention other heavy metals like tungsten, cobalt and lead used in the manufacturing of the golf ball? Did you know (if my math is correct) that it will take just 60 years to cover the surface of the US with lost golf balls if this continues, based on the fact that the US has roughly 3.8 million square miles of land and the golf ball is roughly 4.2 cm Sq.  The reason for this information is not to start a campaign for you to give up golf, like cigarettes, but to raise your level of conscious that there are other options when it comes to purchasing your new personalized golf balls, especially logo golf balls that are great promotional items for corporations and golf events. The other options include companies like knetgolf which sells used golf balls, like www.thegolfteestore.com  that puts logos on refinished golf balls that look and play like new. Also companies that are developing eco-friendly golf balls, like Dixon Golf. Anyway, chalk up one more company that plans to help the environment as well as save you money and I’m not even a liberal.

Personalized Golf Tees and Golf Balls for Wedding Favors

With over 2.4 million weddings performed in the US each year, it is no wonder that a lot of attention is paid to this institution by companies that offer personalized golf tees and personalized golf balls. According to the National Association of Wedding Ministers around 20% or 860,000 of these weddings will have receptions at US county clubs with the average wedding inviting about 170 guests, if my math’s correct that is 146,200,000 opportunities to provide the perfect wedding favor in the form of personalized golf tees or personalized golf balls or both. Before we get into costs, first let me spend a little time on packaging or a vessel to secure the said golf tees or golf balls. In our experience the perfect type of vessel is simple tulle (color selected according to overall wedding color scheme) tied by a ribbon that can be purchased at any craft store or walmart. Another simple approach is the organza fabric bags which are very cute, convenient and cost effective. As for the personalized golf tees, some folks just like to put 5 or 7 tees in tulle tied with a ribbon, the costs are very affordable with the personalized golf tees costing around $57.95 for 1000 delivered for one line of text or $87.95 for two lines of text, the bottom line would be around $0.50 to $0.90 per guest. If ones looking to add a golf ball, we usually see one personalized golf ball based around a self design or some existing golf ball wedding template put in tulle tied with a ribbon with two personalized golf tees on the outside. In this case the costs can be from $1.20 to $1.70 per guest. As for the organza bag, we can supply one personalized golf ball with four personalized golf tees with your choice of color organza bag for less than $2.00 per guest in quantities over 100.  In any case, you can rest assured that years from now your guest will still have your personalized wedding tees or personalized wedding golf balls just like the old almonds that we still have in my wife’s dresser.

  

 

Golf Tees for the Mistress Golf Balls

The best thing that happened to Michael Caldwell at  www.tailofthetiger.com  is that Veronica Siwek-Daniels (aka. Joslyn James) hired Gloria Allred and held a much heralded press conference to discuss the wrong that had been perpetrated on her client. As an outsider, I totally understand the frustration and the cease and desist request from Ms. James and Ms. Allred, as it seems that Mr. Caldwell is trying to capitalize of her image without her consent.  The part that kind of made the press conference a little wacky was the part of hitting the golf ball and associating it with violence. I must say as a company that puts many facial images on Photo golf balls, be it girlfriends, boyfriends, kids or grandkids, it’s hard to make the violence connection when so many people love getting photo golf balls and playing a round of golf with said balls. On the issue of using her image without her consent, I must say if there is law that says a drawing of a person is not the same as a photo of a person, congrats to Mr. Caldwell and his lawyer for not only being creative but resourceful. As for the media frenzy associated with this sex scandal, it’s just unbelievable to me, it never seems to stop. Every day we get another snippet of information and we can only assume that it will continue throughout the year. Therefore, if you’re one of the lucky ones that can afford the Mistress Golf Balls and are looking for some golf tees to support the golf balls for your collection or your next round of golf, why not try our Wood-“dee” tees to complete the sex scandal paraphernalia.
