Most creative/useful/favorite player pack goodie

[rj29274]

Please post your ideas/suggestions here. I don't want to take too much away from the payout, so nothing too costly.

The Open entry is 45 and Am is 35 and Rec 25 - every player will be getting a disc.

Here are a few of mine: (aside from the regular mini, sticker, towel. . .)

drywall sponge (great for sanding dx plastic)
sharpie
custom pint glass
Snickers bar (just thought of this now)
mini bottle of hot sauce
laminate scorecard

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Cheers

Dri fit shirts are cool...towels are nice...really like your idea of the printed sunglasses and id love a laminated scorecard.

Small clipboard for scorecards
Magnetic bottle opener mini (Innova makes some really cool ones)
Custom Coozie
Fine grit sanding block (great for sanding champion-type plastic)

Here's all I can think of now... If I come up with any more I'll post

Iron On Patches

^^^This^^^ I love getting more patches. Once I get a backpack bag to move up from my FADE Tourney I'm going to put the patches I have been accumulating on it.

^^^Love me some patches too!

A copy of the newest edition Rules of Disc Golf . This can't be that expensive and, Lord knows, MANY players need to read them. :doh: Guarantee, this will be a rave choice.

Favorites:
Laminated Scorecard.
Plastic Scorecard Clipboard (cheaper than you might think
DG Stickers
Coupons
Samples (sauce, really anything, and you can usually get it free)
Towels, very cheap
Custom hats (a little on the pricey side, but visors are usually much cheaper)

please provide links to any and all suggestions - the event will have 72 players with no cap on Am or Open. I am thinking of ordering stuff for the first 45-50 that sign up. Everyone will still get plastic.

Again, I dont want to take away too much from payout, so think about the 2-5 dollar range

Sunscreen
Birdie Bags
If I knew it was going to be a rainy tournament, I'd be thrilled for a gallon-size bag and a couple of sandwich bags.

 

[rj29274]

good ideas

Sunscreen is a great idea

Dri-fits, t-shirt, other apparel, or even a towel. I have enough discs as it is and unless you're handing out Vibrams, I wouldn't be interested in a disc anyways. I do understand that apparel, especially dri-fits, are a logistical nightmare for TDs but I sure do like them.

The mini clipboard is really great, I got one years ago in a player's pack with an innova sticker with it <not on it>. Really liked it. Also towels are nice, or a shammy.

I really like the pint glass idea.

 

[rj29274]

Custom Engraved Pint Glass or Stainless Steel Water Bottle? The Glass is about 2.50 each and the Steel Bottle is about 4.50. Which is a better call, the glass for cheap or spend of a few more on the bottle?

 

[BogeyNoMore]

I selected a few options, but a 1L or 32oz Aluminum water bottle would be my first choice.
Id' even be fine with Nalgene, as long as it holds 32 oz and has a mouth big enough to accommodate ice cubes.

Mini clipboards and/or a tournament patch custom made for your tournament. I bought my mini clipboard at walmart for $1.50 for an acrylic, the regular press board one's were about $1.25.

One more idea, what about a custom tournament bag tag. paragon disc golf can even make bag tags and they also sell clipboards, their pricing may be different than walmart.

Did you get that from "custom pint glass"? Or did I miss something?

 

[rj29274]

funny.

leaning toward getting sunscreen and a sweet custom pint glass. the sunscreen will come in handy at 10000ft, even in October.

The Issue with Players Packs...not everyone walks away truly happy with what they got. Not everyone likes Dri-Fit shirts, "x" brand disc, etc. However, a voucher for the tourny store is perfect, they get what they want. No players pack, even better, higher payout. Custom stamped towels are always sweet too, would like to see this more often again.
