There are so many Captain’s Days that we have provided advice & prizes for, that there isn’t a best one – just ask us!

Calling all Captains – haven’t you done well – all those years you have given to the club – and now you get to have a bit of a rest – or should that be respect? Prizes for the most important day in the Club’s calendar, and probably the most important in your golfing career? (Will your club be giving you a Captain’s Decanter – with the names of all the former Captains engraved?)

Engraved crystal for the prizes on Captain's Day

There is no doubt about it - engraved crystal for the prizes on Captain's Day will extremely popular - after all, it is the one day in the year which defines the Captain's style. Even if you are giving Tellies 'n' Toasters small pieces such as paperweights and pillars of wisdom make excellent 'keepers' for when the electricity fails. Bottles of wine with the goblets? Fruit in the bowls? Just the beginning - Ask Us!

 

The following is based on nothing more than our own experience… (So you don’t have to believe any of it….)

  • The main prize should be engraved Captain’s Prize 2011. Not Captain’s Day Winner – as the Winner of Captain’s Day – receives the Captain’s Prize. Everything else is engraved with Captain’s Day 2011.
  • Nearest the Pin/Straightest Drive, in our humble opinion, is the only additional wording to be allowed.
  • Division 1/2/3 Winner is OK, but don’t go breaking their heart by putting Runner Up / Third / Fourth / Fifth / Ladies Nearest the Pin Second Shot. (How can they ever go home and say “Look Darling, I won this!” – For coming 3rd in Division 2)
  • Some club Captains – (at the really old, rich & traditional clubs) might only give a silver spoon, or a pebble, or similar.
  • The more modern and successful ones with lots of members will spend their annual subscription on prizes.
  • Consider whether the competition is a singles men only affair, or a pairs/team family friendly event.
  • Have a really impressive Captain’s Prize – but bear in mind that it has to be taken home to a house, and enjoyed for all time – so the biggest piece in the world might not go down too well ‘indoors’…
  • Talk to former Captains, especially from other clubs to see what they would do again – and not ditto.
  • Have a few spare gift/prizes for the unforseen event that will happen – hole in one/thanks to the Caterers/Club Manager/your Significant Other.
  • Some Captains relax the dress code, hire a bouncy castle and clowns for the children – and the clubhouse is packed -and the bar takes thousands. (What will you do?)
  • We have engraved crystal for hundreds of Captains, so have lots of experience in helping the prizes fit your budget.
  • Get your prizes from Majestic crystal and we will give you a commemorative piece, engraved with your details*, and possibly complimentary crystal for your Charity Day – especially if it starts with H.
  • (We favour Heart, Hospice, Helicopter Air Ambulance & Help for Heroes)

*If you order your prizes from us for your Lady/Captain’s Day we will send you a COMPLIMENTARY piece of crystal engraved with your club crest, Lady/Captain 2011. Choose from a Tankard/Tumbler/Hiball/Wine Glass/Small Vase – Call us on 01526 378676 to discuss!
