What would make a good door prize for a golf outing?

A pair of fancy pants?

 

Golf wise - a gps at the lower end of the price scale would fit into your budget:
Amazon.com: Golf Course GPS Units: Electronics

I have a Bushnell Neo and I reckon knowing exactly how far the green is has improved my golf quite a bit.

Not necessarily non-obvious, but some nice wine wouldn't go astray - the usual people at company golf days tend to be the 30+ year old male and a fair number would enjoy and appreciate something a little out of the ordinary.

Any thoughts that you could provide something that either advertises your company or is something your company supplies people normally? e.g. at my golf club one of the guys is a locksmith and he often supplies something from his business as prizes.

 

I like the fancy golf pants idea.
With matching shoes. And one of those hats with the pompom on top. The plaid ones. Maybe a stuffed groundhog? Ooh and a glove. Just one. Maybe with rhinestones...

 

Weirdly enough, just because you *can* wear outlandish pants to play golf, doesn't make them particularly popular. It sounds like a great idea, but do you seriously want to spend money on pants that the winner may never want to wear? I play golf every week and can count on less than one hand the players I've seen on course in what most of us what consider ridiculous clothes. Both of them are single figure players and both are larger than life characters (who can handle the mocking you get from wearing such).

Players at a corporate day fit into 2 categories
- golfer who play all the time, mostly who won't want these.
- casual or almost never golfers, who probably wouldn't get much opportunity to wear them.
Which basically means that the majority of participants won't feel good winning these as a prize.

My only caveat? If you had a package of things like a Blu Ray copy of Caddy Shack + something golfing serious + a funny hat, then this *might* be ok.

 

Get @Speed_Gibson or @MeltedMetalGlob to photoshop Stanley in golf gear and a weird pose, then frame it as a door prize.

Gift certificate to a nice local restaurant or spa?

 

My vote is for beef, cooked by Borla.

 

I'd probably go with the unimaginative Amazon gift card, wrapped in corporate propaganda.

 

Logo flask full of classy booze.

 

Give me a full body shot of Stanley on his hind legs and I can think of possibilities instantly.

 

Throw in a cheesy 70's moustache with sideburns and accompanying outfit and that sounds like the start to an adult film production from a few years back. This kind of music starts right after the line above is delivered to an oddly underdressed young woman obviously hired for her "acting talents" who answers the door.

 

If you have a local beer making place, I'd suggest a gift certificate for lessons in beer making (with free samples).

 

Definitely quick and dirty using pictures from google image searches, but this is a glimpse of what I had in mind.
The actual file would be scaled up for proper print size, have the "just right" phrase, using Stanley, and be still be inexpensive even if you did an 11"x13" or bigger size.

 

A bottle of Glenmorangie 18

 

A box of cigars, really good cigars and accessories for smoking.
