Why in the world would anyone need personalized golf tees? Isn't a golf tee something you put in the ground to prop up a golf ball, only to take a god-fearing swing at it with a very dangerous golf club? And let's be honest here, that swing usually ends up accomplishing exactly three things;

1. It sends a very small, but very hard ball recklessly out of control at 150 miles per hour toward innocent people who were simply looking for a little peace in their busy lives.

2. It destroys any hope of the swinger becoming a professional golfer.

3. Along with the golfers hopes it destroys the tee upon which the ball first stood.

So if the tee is destined to be annihilated, why spend the money to have it personalized? Well as it turns out, there is a reason to get personalized golf tees. Actually there are 7.

So, the top 7 reasons to get personalized golf tees are:

1. Advertise.

The idea here is to give a set of golf tees imprinted with your company logo to a client, or someone who is a possible investor in your future success. So, when they first step out to tee off on the 1st hole, they take out their favorite driver, their lucky ball, and one of their brand new personalized golf tees. And what do they see? That's right, your logo. And as we've all learned through neuro-associative behavioral conditioning, in time, the act of seeing your logo will invariably become linked with that warm fuzzy feeling your client gets when she enjoys her favorite past time. Can you think of any other way you can get a prospective client to think about you 18 times or more within a 4 hour period? All while they are completely relaxed and clear headed? This is advertising at its most powerful, is it not?

2. The perfect gift.

As much as we all love the act of giving, we also love the act of being remembered for giving that gift. Let me ask you this: Do you remember who bought you that set of purple bathroom towels for your wedding? Or what your big sister gave you for your birthday 2 years ago? Well, for a measly $60 you can give the gift of a thousand personalized golf tees that will probably last for a decade, and is something for which you will always be remembered. As long as you're smart enough to put your name on the personalized golf tees.

3. Raise awareness.

If there is a particular cause or charity that you feel strongly about then personalized golf tees is a great answer.

As any golfer will tell you, golf is 10% mechanics and 90% mental focus. With personalized golf tees you can imprint a mantra that works for you. And if you make it a ritual to read this mantra before every tee off, success is sure to follow. Every professional golfer has her routine before she tees off and if it works Supima tees for the pros it should work for you.

5. Distract your opponent.

This particular reason to get personalized golf tees may not be the most ethical, but it's definitely subtler than whooping like a howler monkey while your opponent is in mid swing. For this you need to get into the mindset of your opponent, who is most likely, a great friend of yours, and find out what is it that is most likely to draw her attention. Of course only you and your imagination can answer this.
