Golf and business: they’ve gone hand-in-hand for decades.
So, naturally, when it’s time to give gifts to your employees, accessories made for 18 holes might come to mind.
Not only are they functional, but branded swag has the potential to get your company name onto fairways across the globe.
When a whopping 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs and 80% of Executives play golf, you can rest assured golf courses are places where you want your brand to be found (Forbes).
The likelihood is you already have plenty of people in your circle who are avid golfers. Not just employees, but clients, customers, partners, and beyond. It means that in some ways golf gifts are an easy win, something to show you care about the interests of the people you work with.
However, the key is ensuring what you give them is quality: nobody wants a golf bag that falls apart after two rounds.
So, with that in mind, here are ten high-quality and unique golf gifts guaranteed to put a smile on their faces.
