Hole in one insurance grants you an opportunity to offer some fabulous grand prizes at your golf tournament. There are a bunch of unique and clever prize ideas out there that should make the competition of your tournament a little more interesting. Prizes like a home entertainment package, a Caribbean cruise, a Hawaiian golf vacation, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, cash, tickets to the Grammy Awards, a trip for 2 to the Masters are all available with hole in one insurance.

It is a type of insurance purchased by a golf tournament host or sponsor that reimburses the tournament organizers for the cost of awarding a prize in the event that a participant scores a hole-in-one.  Tournaments offer expensive prizes for scoring a hole-in-one because the odds of an amateur golfer hitting a hole-in-one are about 1 in 12,500.  The prize usually promotes a tournament sponsor.  For example; if a car dealership is a sponsor of the tournament the hole-in-one prize might be a new car.  The contract between the tournament and the insurance company will detail several rules about which holes of the course are insured and how to verify that the hole-in-one was scored validly.  There are several variables that affect the cost of the insurance, some of which are the number of participants, skill level of the participants, length of the insured hole and the prize offered. 

If you are organizing a golf tournament, prizes are an integral thing. All different types of prizes are awarded for several different categories of awards.  Some category ideas are longest or shortest drive, longest putt, best overall score, closest to the hole, hole in one, highest team score.  If your tournament is for fun its always good to have gag awards like worst overall score, most golf balls lost, or, always a favorite, worst golf outfit  You should pick several different types of prizes to award to all those who attend.  For family events, be sure to choose prizes for all ages.  Trophies are always a good idea for those who actually rank in the tournament.  Some other prize ideas are bags, t-shirts, towels, coolers, umbrellas, hats, water bottles, golf head covers, ball markers or golf balls.  Putting the name and date of the tournament on the prizes make them fun memorabilia.   

As summer kicks into full gear golf wardrobes are bound to need some drastic alteration, especially for those steamy Florida courses. TGA has just added new apparel for the month of May including several sleeveless polo’s for women. There are also several choices for men including some with specially designed fabric to keep you cool and dry on the green. A new summertime golf wardrobe is a good gift idea for Mother’s Day, Father’s day or any other day!

TGA has always been an excellent place to order golf gifts and prizes but they are also a source for so much more. TGA has a wide selection of event tee signs and banners, driving range and putting green signs, golf cart signs, table tent signs, name badges and presentation checks. They are your one stop shop and your low price leader, guaranteed!

Not everyone can be #1 of the tournament and stand up on a podium holding a huge presentation check and a bright shiny trophy, though I’m sure we all wish we could. Yet, since that scene will mostly likely remain a fantasy for us average folk, a nice thing called a recognition award exists. An “you didn’t make it all the way to the top, but you sure tried” award, if you will. It is the type of golf award that can bring a smile to several peoples faces and not just jealous glares at the first place trophy. So, if you are planning on putting together a golf tournament any time soon don’t forget that the awards are what everyone is working for and recognition awards are sometimes more cherished than the 1 ^st place ones.
