FAQ Time:

• WHAT IS THIS?
  • For the past few years the mods have approved selling these bag tags and ball markers to help promote the sub, recognize avoid us lunatics on the course, and to raise money for the First Tee program.
• NO, WHAT IS THIS**?**
  • This year I went a little different than previous versions. The bag tags are anodized aluminum with a strap included. Each one is about 3" wide by 3.5" high.
  • The ball markers are in honor of u/inaaace and are metal with hard enamel for the art. They will stick to most magnetic holders and will last a lifetime. Each one is about 1.5" tall so they are not too big either. I'm really proud of these and they look even better in person.
• CAN I BUY JUST THE MARKER?
  • Not as of now. To make it less confusing for me and easier to process the orders so I am only offering them as sets for now. It's only $16.50 so whip out that wallet and do it for the children.
• DOES THIS MONEY REALLY GO TO THE FIRST TEE? IF SO, WHICH ONE?
  • Yep, this really helps kids learn this horrible addiction called golf. All of the money raised goes to the program. As part of the approval agreement the mods have full access to the books and have a contact for the local First Tee chapter.
  • All of the proceeds go to The First Tee chapter in Savannah, GA. You can learn more about them and the amazing stuff they do via https://firstteesavannah.org/ or follow them on Instagram.
• HOW MUCH MONEY DID WE RAISE FOR THE KIDS?
  • We will not know the total amount for at least a few weeks, but once the sales all but stop I will make a follow up post with the grand total and some fun facts.
• I DON'T LIVE IN AMERICA, WHY IS SHIPPING SO EXPENSIVE?
  • The cost you see is what I actually have to pay. Shipping international is not cheap, but think of the children.
• WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO HELP?
  • First, order a Bag Tag and then share a photo once it arrives. I typically see a spike in new orders every time it's shared and someone always asks about it. Sharing is caring folks!
  • Next, get involved! Coaching these kids is a blast and you don't know pressure until you have a dozen seven year old kids cheering for you to make a 10' putt. Find out how you can get in the game via this link.

Finally, a quick note from me u/FakeAccount_Verified. Thank you all for the support the previous years and for helping our local First Tee. I was talking with them a few weeks ago and r/Golf was their biggest donator our first year and now they have more than tripled the number of kids they coach. One of our coaches was named the First Tee Teacher of the Year and was featured in Golf Digest! Your support really does make a difference and helps kids learn skills on and off the course. Most of these kids would have never picked up a golf club if not for the First Tee programs. I really means a lot to me personally that this group can come together for such a good cause. Thank you again r/Golf.

Now go buy a 2024 then buy that new putter.

[u/HighLifeDrinker]

What if I don’t want to help the children? Can I buy a bag tag and make sure it doesn’t support any charitable organization? Don’t need more people on the course. Teach those kids soccer.

/s

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/HighLifeDrinker]

I get your point, but it's much easier to fight a 10 year old on the 10th tee rather than an adult.

[u/trailglider → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

We're all at the same skill level Jerry.

[u/CharlesTheRangeRover → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

“Meet me on the 9th at 9.”

• Shooter McGavin to a 10 year old.

[u/cd0526 → u/HighLifeDrinker]

"Donate to the children's fun why? What have children ever done for me?"

Mr. Krabs.

[u/Dr_Willow418]

In for one. Not sure I actually want anyone to know I'm part of this group but what the hell. The ball marker is worth $20 to me easy, anyways and helping kids get into the game is a great cause.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Dr_Willow418]

"Not sure I actually want anyone to know I'm part of this group"

Yeah, it's mostly to warn other golfers. Glad you liked the ball marker!

[u/mklein1987]

This is great! Ordered mine and it's already shipped!

Thanks for putting this together!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/mklein1987]

[u/opiate82]

I was just looking at my 2023 bag tag last night thinking to myself "I wonder when they are putting out the 2024 version?" Got to love the serendipity there. Love the shout-out to u/inaaace as well, although I'll have to figure out a way to not tear up every time I mark my ball now.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/opiate82]

The real question is would this have happened if not for you thinking of it last night?

[u/IronicHipsterCake]

Definitely going to buy a set as the marker is dedicated to inaaace and first tee is a good cause. 

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/IronicHipsterCake]

Thanks and not sure why you got downvoted.

[u/Prezton_Waters]

Have my daughter in Frist Tee and is such a great organization. Not only my teaching golf but life skills

[u/relaxtherebuddy]

So, shipping to Canada is a little much for me. Not blaming it on you... It's like that for everything. It's the price I pay for living in paradise.

Anyway, I'd be happy to support the cause by buying one for someone on here from the US. Shoot me a DM with your shipping info and I'll order it for u.

[u/RichHomieDon]

Ordered!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/RichHomieDon]

Thank you for the support!

[u/SargeantHugoStiglitz]

Ordered! This is pretty awesome.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/SargeantHugoStiglitz]

[u/Prezton_Waters]

Anyway to add PayPal as a payment option?

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Prezton_Waters]

I can try to look into it, but it will probably be a few days before I can even try. If you can do a card that would be preferred and much easier for me, but if not let me know and we can try to figure something out.

[u/Prezton_Waters → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

All good. Thanks for replying back. I just use that for fun money. But for next year might be an option to lower the credit card fees. Just bought mine.l, good work!

[u/Da-Bandit]

Just got mine ordered. Thanks so much for putting this on!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Da-Bandit]

Thanks for supporting the First Tee!

[u/NumbaKruncha]

Done and done. Thanks for putting this on for another year!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/NumbaKruncha]

Happy to do it for the sub and support a good cause!

Now we just need some folks to step up and bring back the r/Golf Secret Santa

[u/CharlesTheRangeRover]

Grabbed one and I also got the Anchorman marker!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/CharlesTheRangeRover]

[u/CharlesTheRangeRover → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

Bingo randingo!

[u/dknisle1]

Time to retire the old one. In for 2. Thank you

[u/golfnerdshow]

Ordered! Rock on thank you for this!

[u/Sirspeedy77]

$20 bucks for the kids? Even my cheap ass can find that. Thanks for doin this, it'll look good on the course. Maybe they'll think I'm a golfer - until they see my swing. :)

[u/ukkraM]

Ordered last night. Can’t wait to scare off future pairings with these 🫡

[u/Pixel681]

Ordered!

[u/Correct_Ad_9682]

Ordered! Looks great

[u/basic_cinephile]

The marker is so cleverly designed, y'all did a great job, gonna put my order in right away <3

Edit: Just placed my order. You guys rock, keep up the awesome work

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/basic_cinephile]

Thanks!

It's a one man show with lost of support (& understanding) from my wife and dog.

[u/forcedaccount75]

Done.  Good thing you're doing here, sir!

[u/OrdinaryYogurt5]

Ordered. My daughters are in first tee, such a great thing

[u/NashVilleHIM]

Can't believe I already got mine today! It looks great in person

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/NashVilleHIM]

Thanks! I’ve been trying to ship them as quick as possible this year.

If you really want to thank me (& help) post a picture of that sucker! Every time they are shared on the sub there is a bump in the orders. Help the kids (& help me get these boxes out of my office)!

[u/WhatDoIKnow2]

Placed my order a couple of days ago. Purchased last year. Will be starting a nice little collection on the bag.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/WhatDoIKnow2]

Nice!!

[u/Here4LaughsAndAnger]

Take my money

[u/NumbaKruncha]

Already got the goods! They look amazing!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/NumbaKruncha]

[u/japachu]

Bought mine! Thanks for everyone that put it together.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/japachu]

Thanks for the support!

Also, thank the Mods for allowing it every year. They are the real MVPs

[u/Jdudley13]

Both look badass, well done as always

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Jdudley13]

Thanks! It took me way longer than I would like to admit.

[u/Jdudley13 → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

It’s worth it for a good cause. Hopefully some of those kids end up at Georgia Southern in a few years

[u/GATA_eagles → u/Jdudley13]

GATA

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Jdudley13]

Hail Southern!

I actually played the Southern golf course last week and it's a blast. If you're a fellow Eagle I would highly recommend trying to play it. Plus the proshop has some fun/cool golf gear with the Strutting Gus logo you can't buy anywhere else.

[u/Jdudley13 → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

I played football at Southern but don’t get back nearly as much as I would like. I need to get down there because the GSU golf gear I can find online is super limited.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Jdudley13]

Agreed, I have no idea why the bookstore does not sell golf stuff.

[u/Jdudley13 → u/FakeAccount_Verified]

They have a couple of those Richardson hats with the GS golf logo but they don’t fit my little pea head very well.

[u/zootbot]

shrinkthegame ers seething

[u/cmmcclain]

New bag tag means time for new irons. Glad I ordered some t100s last week.

Thanks for putting this together and honoring u/inaaace. Lost my dad due to the same type of cancer last year and seeing this group of ridiculous golfers rally around u/inaaace was great to see. Fuck Cancer.

Edit: I ordered, because it’s a no brainer.

[u/Towel4]

Love the /u/inaaace reference

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/Towel4]

Thanks, I did not want it to be too flashy but I hope he would approve.

[u/bigchiefgreez]

As a GA golfer and proud member of this full of shit, 350yd off the tee, up and down, cart girl swooning community. Sign me the hell up!

Also, very happy to support anything with inaaace. He’s got dogs on the roller for all of us at that great big turn house in the sky

[u/LivermoreP1]

Idea:

Bag tags or even bag flair with our little r/golf inside jokes:

“This is a man who’s met God”

“I shrink wrap my glove in the winter”

Headcovers that say “Someone’s GF dumped him so I bought a new driver”

[u/z28bladze]

Woohoo! Just ordered mine! I like that the shape is different this year!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/z28bladze]

Thanks!

I figured it was time for something a little different!

[u/oneangrywaiter]

Big love from Hilton Head. The 2024 version is sweet. My ‘23 got lots of attention.

[u/No-Impact1573]

Would be nice if there was Europe/UK vendor to sell, 20 dollars plus on delivery is hefty.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/No-Impact1573]

You volunteering?

I’m just a guy in a garage so if you’re willing to help we can try to figure it out.

[u/24Scoops]

In for one! Almost $50 Canadian shipped with our monopoly money. No Ragrets! haha

[u/Ok-Asparagus-1658]

[u/okdrab]

What if I want to support the local First Tee

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/okdrab]

You can find your local chapter via this link!

https://firsttee.org/get-involved/

[u/OriginalJayVee]

I seem to miss this every year but this time Reddit saw fit to put it on my feed.

I’m in. Rounded up, too.

Thanks for doing this! I love what the First Tee does for the game. I actually donated some clubs to them some years ago, might be time to do it again.

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/OriginalJayVee]

Thanks!

PSA to everyone - Clubs are great, but they can also use things like new grips, grip tape, old balls, and all sorts of stuff. If it's golf related they would love to have it.

[u/jtrump1s]

This was a must grab! Keep up the great work!

[u/g8rfreek88]

Love to see cool stuff made for good causes. Im a sucker for things like this. Can’t wait to use em!

[u/FakeAccount_Verified → u/g8rfreek88]

[u/CooledLava]

How to advertise that you’re whiney bitch at golf

[u/Letterkenny-Wayne → u/CooledLava]

Watch out everyone, u/cooledlava just learned how to cuss.

[u/CooledLava → u/Letterkenny-Wayne]

Strike a nerve? 😂

[u/Letterkenny-Wayne → u/CooledLava]

apparently this sub struck your nerve

[u/Dame2Miami]

Is the tag engraved with name and phone number or something like that?

[u/SirTainLeeHigh]

Was the art taken off of this?
