The "NEED-to-KNOWS" about buying Hole in One Insurance
Dan Westervelt, National Tournament Consultant, GTAA
     Hole in One Contests (HIO) are a standard part of virtually every golf tournament. So, how do you evaluate and select the correct one for your event? There are some huge differences among these companies. Rates, Coverage, Prizes for bonus holes and Claims Service are the variables I will talk to you about.

Have you ever been invited to a member guest tournament or to dinner with golfing friends and thought "What can I bring as a gift that will say thanks?" Is there a golfer in your life who seems to have everything and is impossible to shop for?

We know what that's like and that's the inspiration behind Sports Wines LLC and our Crooked Putter Wines. We created a line of great golf gifts with our high quality wines that are so special and unique they will be remembered long after giving them. 

Now you can enjoy your golf game, a great laugh and a superb wine.  Sports Wine has bottled excellent wines with labels that depict humorous incidents in golf using Lenticular technology.  Our artists took some of golf's best-loved sayings and put them in motion. Sayings like, "Drive for Show," "Put for Dough," "Better Keep Your Day Job," or "Didn't Make It Past The Ladie's Tee." 

Using Lenticular Technology we create exclusive animated labels and have our wine masters pair it with the wine of your choice. 

Choose from our excellent Caberet, Chardonnay, Merlot or Sauvignon Blanc in sayings.  Crooked Putter Wines make a great gift for any occasion, incentive or retirement gift, or the perfect corporate gift.
