Personalized Golf Balls Review

Personalized golf balls and other golfing items are the perfect gift for the golf loving person in your life. My sister, and of course her significant other, have played golf since High School and spend many sunny days scorching themselves while the walk around the golf course spending an enjoyable day "putting" around.

Thanks to their interest in this sport, I have discovered several very unique gift ideas that I can use over and over again, and they never grow tired of them.  How do I do this?  By personalizing!  You can purchase golf polo's, golf tees, golf balls and other golf gear and have it personalized with words, letters and photos and give a gift that they can not only enjoy but entertain them throughout their day of play. Quite often these personalized gifts also become a topic of conversation as other golfers notice the special items in my sisters golf bag.

I have two favorite spots to purchase personalized golf balls and other golf gear.  First, check out ZiplineGolf.com where you can create your own personalized golf balls for gifts, corporate/marketing campaigns and special occasions. To use Zipline, you first choose from among approximately 15 name brand golf balls ranging in price from $15.00 to $48.00 (some maybe more as price varies on about 5 of these products).  You can then proceed to designing your own customized and personalized golf ball. 

Next, type in your text, choose from 4 colors, indicate text size and location.  Or skip the text choices and upload a photo for use on the golf ball. Among popular favorites are baby photos, silly faces and catching your friend or family member doing something a little off the wall. If using a photo, upload an un-cropped photo and create your personalized product.  Confirmation will be sent to you via email and your total cost will vary according to color, lines of text or photo arrangement, and set up charges.  Regular USPS ground shipping adds $8.00 to your order. For an additional $4.00 you can have your order gift wrapped.  Zipline ships in 3 business days.

Personalization Mall.com also offers some really interesting personalized golf balls as well as other personalized golfing products ranging from Tee's at .22 each to a Cherry Wood Cigar Humidor for $41.25.  You can also choose golf tees and tins, bag tags, golf towels, markets and key ring and divot tool. Many of the personalized golf ball sets, though less expensive do not all sets are of a dozen, while Zipline only does sets of 12, so be careful what you choose and make sure you have the number of personalized golf balls you want.

There is one other way to personalize your golf gear gift, and that would be to acknowledge the "green" golf lover.  Amazon.com and EcoGolf.com offer eco-friendly golf balls and golf tees.  You can purchase biodegradable golf balls and tees, while not personalized with words or pictures do acknowledge an interest in sharing and saving the environment.  The "breakdown" of these items varies but are generally biodegradable in approximately 60 days. You can only purchase from EcoGolf on line and the price for tees varies from $25.00 - $55.00 for a box of 1,000.  The golf balls are water soluble, perfect for resorts and cruise ships and biodegrade in approximately 96 hours.

My Viewpoint:  Personalized golf balls (and other golf gear) are the perfect gift for the golf lover in your life.  Even if they don't play, they can enjoy many of the gifts available at Personalization Mall.com such as the key chain or insulated cooler and still indulge their interest in this sport.  The prices are reasonable, especially since you are purchasing one of a kind gift items and people can't get over these specialty items available. Among personalized golf gift items, I admit the golf balls are my favorite. I enjoy being able to choose from a selection of photographs (some which many family members may not wish tot share!) to a simple message to celebrate a special event.  As gifts go, these ideas allow you to do it all; indulge your special someone in the sport they love, personalize the gift for uniqueness and create a conversation piece that is not only fun but interesting.
