Its a well known fact that all executives love to golf. Its no wonder, then, that some of the most popular executive gifts are golf related. If your clients and CEOs of companies you do business probably own a complete set of club cozies, its time to consider promotional printed umbrellas. Those that play golf regularly have definitely been caught in their fair share of afternoon rain showers. Being prepared for these surprise storms can make a huge difference in ones game. Take a few minutes to put some thought into the promotional golf umbrella you choose and theyll reach for yours each and every time the rain drops start falling. Size MattersWide umbrellas are best for the golf greens. Choose one that is at least 30 inches wide. The Wentworth Golf Umbrellas, sold by YesGifts, feature a 30 inch wide canopy and are available at a reasonable price - starting at just 3.85 each. Miniature umbrellas are typically any under 29 inches wide. These are usually offered at a discount. While they can save you a little money, they dont offer the coverage most golfers require when the rain comes pouring down. Shaft MaterialYou dont need to tie a key to a kite and fly it in a thunderstorm to know that lightning is attracted to metal. Rain and lightning go hand in hand and you dont want your executives to have a shocking experience because you chose a cheaper, metal shafted printed umbrella. There are plenty of shafts that arent made of metal and they dont have to cost you a fortune. Wood shafts are heavier and have a classic feel. Fiberglass shafts are a little more expensive but are lighter and easier to handle. Wind TestedWind gusts often accompany rain storms so its important to choose a printed umbrella that will withstand blistery breezes on the fairway. When shopping for promotional umbrellas, look for brands with double ribbing and duel anchored fixings. Breathable or double canopy models are great for wind resistance since the breezes can go through the umbrella rather than take it away. Color OptionsThere are plenty of color options when choosing printed umbrellas but which is the right one? If you choose something too loud and bright, your executives may not want to use it. Choose something too plain and it may not be noticed. Ideally, you should choose colors that remind users of your company without offending their sense of color and balance. Make sure whichever color scheme you choose, your printed umbrellas are constructed with coordinating thread and your logo will stand out against the background. Take the StakeWhen looking at printed golf umbrellas, you need to make sure the one you choose includes a plastic stake on the end. When a golfer is ready to take his or her shot, they typically turn it upside down and stick the stake in the ground to keep it from flying or rolling away. Without a stake, your printed umbrella recipient may be stuck with a dirty umbrella or worse, chasing it down the fairway. Remember to avoid the metal stakes - they act as lightning rods.
