SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA – Custom Golf Flagstick recently announced the launch of its patented new design for golf flagsticks. The new product is a combination of a traditional, 7.5-foot golf flagstick fitted with a 42-inch sleeve that can be custom-designed for branding purposes. The new flagstick conforms to the rules of golf as set forth by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club and The United States Golf Association.
The sleeve is 42 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter (maximum permitted by the Rules of Golf). The flagstick and sleeve are manufactured by industry-leader, Standard Golf. Custom printed wraps for the sleeve can be:
â?¢ A solid color for increased visibility and improved depth perception
â?¢ Imprinted with the course logo and name for improved presentation
â?¢ Imprinted with tournament sponsor name and logo for branding
â?¢ Imprinted with the name, logo, image or photograph of business partners for increased revenue streams to the course
"The flagstick is at the heart of the game of golf," says founder and CEO James Deen. "This new product will help all courses increase the visibility of the flagstick, offer branding opportunities for sponsors and partners, and help courses generate new economic streams in a tough market."
Deen should know. His family has been involved in golf for more than 200 years. His great, great, grandfather, Sir John Whyte-Melville, was the only person to be appointed two-time Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. And Deen has a successful golf publishing venture along with several other related companies.
Even though the company is officially offering its products for sale to the core golf market for the first time, the Custom Golf Flagstick products have been used around the world at such events as The Women’s World Cup of Golf and Champions Tour Pro-Ams under the name Golf Flagstick Advertising. Golf Flagstick Advertising will continue as the international media brand for the company. Corporations like UBS, SAP, AT&T, Ricoh and Target have employed the use of the custom flagsticks for branding at special events, and courses such as Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona and Eagle Pointe Golf Club in Houston, Texas, have also purchased the flagsticks for everyday use.
Custom putting green flagsticks are also available to courses, tournaments and sponsors. Similar to the golf flagsticks, the putting green flagsticks are 44 inches tall with a 24 inch sleeve. The putting green flagsticks open new areas of branding and exposure for courses, partners and tournaments.
"I think these are great for the game and for the business of golf," said Del Cochran, Captain of the Club at Grayhawk Golf Club. "They will enable us to offer greater value to sponsors of our many corporate events and they make the golf course presentation much more appealing."
In fact, Cochran liked the idea and product so much he bought part of the company. He will serve as Chief Navigator for Custom Golf Flagstick.
