Promotional golf pencil products are a necessity on the golf course. If you own or manage a course, you'll need to provide your golfers with some type of golf pencils to keep score. While most golf pencils are the standard short size, they do come in a variety of shapes and colors. When you add your personalized message to the pencil, you've added a little advertisement to place in each player's hand.

Look for a logo golf pencil to give away at special golfing events. Logo pencils make great additions to a small thank you package given to each player before the tournament. Include a logo pencil with a few tees, balls and markers. Design a personalized pencil with colors and message representing your tournament or sponsors.

Consider the following when shopping for promotional golf pencil products:

1. Choose the style of promotional golf pencils you prefer. Consider pencils that clip on, pencils with erasers or other styles.

2. Choose the colors and message on the customized golf pencils based on your course logo and style.

3. Order in bulk to save money. Most pricing goes down as the quantity ordered goes up.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy a custom logo golf pencil

The standard custom golf pencil comes in either a round or hexagonal shape. The pencils are usually around 3 to 4 inches long, and you can personalize them to include your message.

I recommend: Pencils 'n More will print round or hexagon-shaped pencils with your personal logo or message. You can even email them your logo to have it printed on the pencils. Plainfield Golf Company has a great selection of personalized round and hexagon-shaped pencils.

Find a logo golf pencil with an eraser

Supply your golfers with pencils that have erasers. Eraser pencils add an extra convenience for your customers. That eraser can really come in handy when there's a mix-up on the score card. Eraser pencils can be customized just like their eraser-less partners, and come in the same bright colors.

I recommend: Buy golf pencils with erasers from ePromos or choose pencils from Absorbent, Ink. to customize with your personal message and use on the golf course.

Order a custom golf pencil that's unique

Who says a golf pencil has to be short and straight? Find a unique golf pencil for your event. Add a personalized message or logo to the pencil and you'll create a small marketing marvel.

I recommend: Buy a Pegcil plastic clip-on golf pencil that you can customize with your logo. The pencil is also guaranteed not to harm mowers or other grooming equipment. For an even bigger stretch, order a golf club shaped pencil from Inkhead Promotional Products. Choose the color you want, and add any artwork to customize the pencil.

Buy customized golf pencils made of recycled materials

Personalized golf pencils come eco-friendly, too. Not your everyday pencils, these golf pencils are made out of unique recycled materials.

I recommend: Buy a custom logo golf pencil made of recycled denim from GolfPromoProducts.com. Give out a little humor in the form of a golf pencil made of recycled money. The Promopeddler.com sells a recycled greenback golf pencil made of 20 to 30 percent post consumer currency.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Make sure the golf pencils you order are pre-sharpened, unless you want to install pencil sharpeners on the course. Some companies do sell pencils that have not been sharpened yet, but these can turn into more of a logistical hassle not worth the money they save you.
