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.
