Homemade soap would be a great addition to a players pack. But, the effort needed vs. the appreciation would not be feasible.

Best non disc players pack items?
- Thread starter andrewdouse
- Start date
Trust me when you do start playing tournaments you will be like, oh great another towel, mini, and pencil. That's pretty much every player's pack at every event. Also companies, Innova specifically, make pretty sick disc golf socks.
We've got a sponsor giving us little portable bottles of branded hand sanitizer for an upcoming event. Any other year, that'd be junk....
Normally, we don't have any players packs at the tournament we host. This year we're doing it as a Covid precaution, to avoid having merchandise that people rifle through. Trying hard to avoid the junk.

Not sure what your budget is, but a Towch is great to have on any Disc Golf bag:

Even saved it on the DG Player Pack Items page!
Made here in the USA, so hopefully they can get them to you in time! :thmbup:

this is a good start https://www.amazon.com/Fun-Express-...ords=mini+disc+for+kids&qid=1600640971&sr=8-5 and can add a logo via a sticker. If the players are worried about the sticker coming off, have a can of clear Flex Seal to use a light layer for the players to use to keep the tournament sticker from coming off.

I friend of mine that TD's gave out tourney stamped cooling towels.
Those things are great on hot days. Love mine!

Amen!
This question is a bit tough for me as I've contributed to the escalating player pack debate. As a sponsor, I try to add to the pack outside of the already planned items by the TD. My thought process is to find first something useful and then second something the player might not have thought of, but comes to appreciate...mind you, this is unnecessary, but was something I wanted to do...I've always kind of wondered if this is a bad idea, but oh well, it's something I enjoyed doing at the time.
This year was whale sacs and a pro pull.
Not to distant past, I included a kneesie (knee pad) and a flight towel.
Last year may have been a tad lame, I did a cooling towel gator and a cooling gel beaded head band...it was 93 degrees in late July and 93 percent humidity...thought it would be more practical.
The core tenant being, something practical and something they wouldn't have thought of, but might appreciate.

I'm Tding an event at the end of October and we are giving out tournament printed jackets. They are moisture wicking and have a port for your headphones. The are fleeced lined and a poly blend on the outside, we are also thinking about a neck gaitor to double as a facemask option as well as being able to help with the cool mornings.
I always like giving out something that is "in season" and can be used for the event and the next couple of months. I remember getting beanies in late spring and summer and always thinking those items would be better for events in the fall and winter.

Background: in the US, played in 7 tournaments...this would be my response to anyone running a tournament.
Towels - please no....I have gotten 7 towels
Mini - cool idea. Only have one mini from a tournament
Socks - please no. I wear minimalist ('barefoot') shoes for disc golf and don't need socks.
t-shirt - good...but my wife had said 'another disc golf t-shirt???'
Snacks - awesome....don't have snacks with nuts as there are folks with allergies
Sports bottle - the plastic kind...nice idea.
Vendor discount code - really awesome. Get a disc company to provide a discount code specifically for your tournament
Chalk/resin/etc bag - awesome idea.
Kneeling pad (Towch Kneezie) - this is very handy

Best players pack item I ever got was a KwikStik XL. It was during the first tournament at a new course that had water on 13 holes, so it was both relevant and useful. It's still in my bag over a year later.

A lot of people have mentioned towels, but I only had one towel until I got one in a player's package after playing for four years, and I've only gotten one more since. Minis, on the other hand, I have flowing out my closet.
I second socks, snacks, and shirts (if they're good). Also consider giving players the option of declining part of all of the player's package for a small discount.

@roadtripstuff I'm curious about the jacket idea; What kind of jacket was it (ie vendor/model)? any pics of it available? How did the idea go over with the players?
If you don't mind... how much are you charging intermediate division players to play in the tournament?
We have had a good response to nice, collared, dri fit shirts. We have talented artist in our club, so they also have some very cool artwork on them.

For the AMs the event is a B-Tier and it was $53 for MA2.

There's a link to the jacket. We got a bulk deal for ordering over 80 of them (not from this site) and our club also has the ability to screen print our own stuff that helps a lot as well, as far as costs go. I won't know for sure how they went over until the event, but things like this always seem to go over well around here. Most of our local players are always asking for more GOOD merch over discs. I think the problem with most merch is everyone wants to give you a t-shirt, or towel, or a frickin coozie.
