Whatcha Gonna Give?

Highlights
Golf gifts that aren't just par for the course

Few execs need a second putter or another golf cap, so every year, it gets a little bit tougher to find fresh ideas for golf tournament gifts. But they're out there. In a sea of same-old, same-old, we found a handful of head-turning prizes and mementos for your players.

Fits Like a Garden

For the women in the tournament, Fairway Skins Co. has a new line of leather golf gloves adorned with antique botanical designs. Winner of a Best New Product award at the 2007 PGA Fall Expo, the eight elegant designs include morning glory (left) as well as iris, cereus, strawberry, lily, poppy, magnolia, and passion flower. The company also offers a line of matching pouches and expects to launch a series of butterfly designs in the near future. Gloves are $36, pouches $32, with discounts available for volume purchases. www.fairwayskins.com

Head Cover, Get It?

Bucket hats are back in fashion, and now you can order them for your players' golf club heads. The cute design is perfect for customizing, with room on the top for your company logo and space on the sides for sponsor logos or the name of the event. The suede hat is mounted on a cotton sock with a foam lining. The club head covers come in six colors and cost $30.36 each for orders of 25 or more. Looking for something even more customized? The company can create club covers to look like your company's product or logo. www.tournamentshowroom.com

Instant Feedback Tool

It might look like a wristwatch, but ShotWatch is, in fact, a training tool. Worn while practicing at a driving range, ShotWatch helps players to develop swing consistency by providing data on swing speed, tempo, and grip pressure. When a golfer makes a great swing, he presses the “Save” button to store the data. After that, ShotWatch sounds an alert when he deviates from his personal best swing. The instant feedback aids in muscle memory control, helping players maintain consistency. A women's model is due out soon. ShotWatch costs $149. www.shotwatch.com

Brand Marker

Create a hat clip with a magnetic ball marker in the shape of your product or logo. The full-color designs are both useful on the course and practically priced. The cost for orders of 100 or more ranges from $4.87 to $8.61 per marker. www.tournamentshowroom.com
