What is an origination charge?
Origination is a one off fee charged for the setting up and the creation of templates (Printing Screens/Embroidery Digitisation/Jacquards/Photo Etched Plates) to apply your logo in the correct format to the product. This is a one off charge and repeat orders of the same product and logo will not incur a further charge.

Which Ball To Choose?
We all want to emulate the pros but simply buying into a product because your favourite professional or the latest tour winner uses it will not normally make you play like them. Very low handicapped golfers can use an expensive ball such as a Titleist ProV1, Wilson TX4, Callaway HX Tour 56, or Srixon Z-urc and it will probably be one of the best for them as they have the ability to use the added spin and shape you can achieve with this ball. For anyone else, however, it will not give you anything extra at all and may only hinder your performance. In that respect, is it worth paying around £40.00 a dozen simply for the name? Is performance or ego more important?
The table above indicates, by handicap brackets, the ball from a few, select, manufacturers which we recommend. Other balls, of course, are available including ladies’ balls and, while these are fine for ladies who are just beginning or have a high handicap, women playing off less than 20 should use the guide above.
With green fees, prizes, dinner and all the other accoutrements, golf days don’t come cheap so why not spread your budget a little further? Instead of a Pro V1, for instance, why not try a PTS Roll or NXT Tour or Extreme? The same applies for other brands. With the money saved you could include printed tees to your gifts or use the balls in gift boxes or ball and tee tubes. Golf balls are easily lost so why not give your customers something extra to remember you and your day by? Image is everything when it comes to corporate golf days and, though you want your brand alongside the name of a globally recognised, quality product, you don’t need to break the bank to do so.
Don’t forget that, as long as you stick with the same manufacturer, you can always add on an extra couple of dozen higher end balls for prizes or special thank you’s. For instance, if you chose to buy Wilson Ultra as your give-away ball, you could order two dozen Wilson TX4 balls to put on the prize table, as long as the artwork is the same and you have ordered at least ten dozen Ultra.
When would I use 70mm tees?
Many modern drivers have large heads and, as the ball on your set up to a drive should sit with the top of the club around halfway up the ball, standard 54mm tees are too short, causing you to 'top' the ball or perform other bad shots, and therefore lose the benefit of the club. 70mm tees allow the ball to sit in the correct place at set up and ensure that you have the best chance of hitting a good shot.
