What's your preferred golfing prize?

[kevinmarkham]

I did some research recently on what golfers like to receive as a prize after a hard fought win out on the course (the results are on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/7l5drle), but what about golfers in the UK? If it's not included in the poll, let's hear what it is.

Trophies are a bit naff as there's no-where in the house HID will let you put them or teh club keeps them in a cabinet. Gear is a lotto, proV1's excepted. Vouchers are the only sensible way to go I think. They are useful to you.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

The only prize I desire is a cut

 

[Oddsocks]

i need to join your club if thats the prizes. we get some poxy trophies at our place, cant wait to move,

 

[patricks148]

Ditto, more than happy with a cut.

Pretty naff trophies at prize giving this year. Nothing beats some vouchers for the pro shop and seeing your name in gold letters. To be fair the cut glass I got from GM for the Centenary Final is pretty impressive and sits on the sideboard as a motivator

On a practical level, pro shop vouchers are the best as you can pick what you like and everyone can find something they like even if it is only balls, gloves and tees. I tend to stock any winnings and 2s money up for the year and have a blow out pre season.

That said, the club that my parents used to play at gave out medals for winning the monthly medal as well as the voucher and I quite liked that. Gives you something to show for your win.

Its nice to be rewarded for you hard work and for putting together a good round where everyone else has been mediocre. I would prefer them to look at me and know I'm not a golfer to be messed with.......either that or pro shop vouchers. HA!

 

[Marko77]

My choice goes to vouchers but I'm never one to turn down a decent bottle of whisky/wine if it's offered.

 

[Junior]

Any premium baws or vouchers for me.

Best prize I ever won was a fourball voucher for the East Course at Wentworth. It was a charity do and not only did our fourball have a great day winning, we then had another fantastic day playing together again.

 

[Achilles]

Vouchers would be my preference but the real satisfaction comes from getting a cut. Can't beat that in my eyes!

 

[JustOne]

Cash? (preferably folding type)

 

[Hobbit]

Crystal for preference.

I've got the gear, so why more gear. My last two prizes have been carry bags... I don't carry coz I'm old and arthritic.

 

[papyt]

we get the usual,whisky glasses,vases or the trusty decanter,but we normally take them back to the shop the club buys them from and they take them back less 10%,they must have bought the same glasses for the past 2 years as the dent in the box is always the same lol.

 

[Lanark_Golfer]

I voted for a 4-Ball as prize, always good to get out with your mates on a new track.

 

[JCW]

ditto

If you're talking end of season prizes for the honour board comps then my place gives you the choice of either a replica trophy or £80 worth of BlueWater vouchers. Before I had time to think HID collared the vouchers!!!

For the monthly comps (medal/stableford), any winnings either go behind the bar on our membership card or in the pro shop. I opted for behind the bar as I'm guaranteed to purchase a drink after a round whereas our pro shop doesn't sell decent gear - like Wilson Staff... oo:

I went for the pro shop vouchers. Although I might have been persuaded with the weekend away if a bit more information had been given !!

GCD loves vouchers for a round was ecstatic to win a four ball at Machrihanish last year.
Myself, I would prefer pro shop vouchers if I ever had a win.
