A Stroke of Genius

Miniature golf has a knack for evoking the competitive spirit of suburban families everywhere. Tapping the ball through the scary clown’s mouth at just the right time turns into a science. Efforts to fish your ball out of the stream often prove futile. And keeping your cool after your ball lands in the sand trap can be challenging. Otherwise, it’s fairly simple—the only term you need to know is “hole in one.”

However, if you’re looking to dazzle clients or other powerful decision-makers with your Arnold-Palmer-like skills, there’s a bit more to learn. For instance, what’s a bogey? Is it true that a double eagle doesn’t just mean two eagles hanging out together? What is all this talk about a sidehill lie? Google can help out with golf terminology, but if your goal is to brush up on selling golf-themed promotional items? Read on. Whether enhancing a prospect’s golf tournament fundraising event or teeing up with your partners while talking business, the following products are sure to be an ace.

A Safe Bet
Life is a series of risks—trusting yourself to remember where your ball landed after a member of your foursome knocks it out of place shouldn’t be one of them. Golf Tee Printers’ Custom Printed Poker Chip Ball Markers will help with that. Personalize a chip with your company logo, custom design or even a photo. Each side can have a different imprint. Choose from nine different color options. For more information, visit www.golfteeprinters.com.
