Step up your giveaway game with this
laser-etched scroll made from sus-
tainably harvested wood and filled
with barbecue almonds and a white
chocolate-champagne golf ball truffle.
In warmer weather, the truffle can be
replaced with a regulation-size branded
golf ball. After the tournament is over,
the scroll can hold golf balls, tees,
reading glasses, ear buds and many
other items.

1 READ. Look in major golf
magazines to see who is
advertising. Companies
include banks, liquor companies,
pharmaceuticals, hotel chains
and automobile manufacturers,
among others. “Simply contact
their corporate headquarters and
ask who is in charge of their
sports marketing, or ask for the
specific brand manager,”
Cimperman says.
2 WATCH TELEVISED
TOURNAMENTS. You will
see the major networks
that sponsor the tournament
along with companies who have
purchased commercials and com-
panies that have signage on the
courses being played.
3 LOOK LOCALLY. Contact
your most popular local golf
courses. Ask them if they
have a calendar of events, includ-
ing some golf tours or events for
the year. Most of the larger courses
will have this information. For
example, your local course may
have a State Farm Invitational
event or a Century 21 golf event
or a local Girls and Boys Club
fundraiser, etc. Call your local
sponsor’s office and ask who is in
charge of putting that event
together. Introduce yourself and
set up a meeting to share popular
golf items on which you can put
their logo, he says. Golf pros are
also a great source of information
so make sure to strike up a con-
versation with staff at your local
courses.
