Simply pay a visit to the lost and found property of your local golf club and you will quickly see how much expensive property is mislaid by players’ intent on lowering their handicap.  Without their favorite 7 iron, long haul driver or lucky putter, they are going to find they are indeed handicapped, but in a completely different way than they envisaged.  Using golf club labels is a simple and yet highly effective way of securing expensive golf kit and not simply the clubs, but all of your equipment.

Golf club labels can be easily and quickly sourced from the internet, with simple to use templates and designs which can be used on your clubs and equipment discretely and easily.  The cost of buying golf club labels is extremely low and certainly only a tiny fraction of the price of one of your prized clubs!  Golf club labels are easy to use and highly durable with all-weather materials used in their construction and to stick them to your clubs and possessions.

Delivery is straight to your door and the entire order process should take only a few days, in many cases you can get your labels well before your next round on the course!

Fitting identification labels will save your clubs from becoming mislaid or mistakenly taken by other players, and they also serve a very useful function in deterring would-be thieves from taking your clubs and equipment because they are so readily identifiable.  Most losses of golfing equipment stem from simply mislaying a club while playing or at the clubhouse, however it is a simple task to get lost clubs back to their rightful owner when your name and contact information is affixed to them.  Even in cases where theft has occurred, by identifying your clubs and golfing kit you are increasing the chances of successfully recovering them by adding an identification label as otherwise they will simply sit in a police warehouse until public disposal.

With even a very basic set of clubs costing $100, it pays to use golf club labels which can cost only a few cents each.  The economic case is even greater when a typical regular player will have more than $1,000 in golfing equipment which is all very movable and easily mislaid.  There is no greater, value for money investment a player can make than by investing in a set of clear identification golf club labels.

Today, the idea of ordinary men and women running a marathon, followed by a lengthy bike ride and punctuated by a cooling couple of miles swimming is not so far-fetched!  My brother-in-law completed three Iron Man competitions last year and only quit this year because his wife has put her foot down.

The growth in outdoor and extreme sports activities has increased the need for vital personal information to be carried by participants.  Sports requiring high levels of exertion create situations where participants need assistance and sometimes urgent medical intervention as the human body is pushed to extreme limits.  It is not only the high exertion levels which create high risk for those taking part; many long distance or extreme sporting activities take place in areas which are remote or without readily available medical assistance on hand making and the difference in treatment for a heat victim with diabetes and one without can mean the difference between life and death as one simple example.

Many sports ID label kits use some form of wrist band to carry personal identifier and medical information but personally, I cannot stand a wrist band attached when I’m running; it’s just a mental thing with me but fortunately there are alternatives. The shoe pouch for instance, provides a simple and cost effective means of carrying my identity and contact information safely and securely attached to the laces of my running shoes; it doesn’t interfere with my running and I don’t have a wannabe fashion icon strapped to my wrist which makes me feel uncomfortable.

Other variants include ankle straps, id chains and you can easily find sports apparel suppliers with built in pouches and pockets designed specifically for carrying identification and medical information and still provide the functionality and sport utility you need for your sport enjoyment and performance.

Well, I have to admit it has happened to me on more than one occasion. Most of those times, another golfer had turned the lost club in to the club house and I was able to retrieve it with no problems. However, there were a few instances that the missing club simply disappeared. (My guess is that someone found the club, and with no way to determine the owner, simply kept it for themselves.)

After several lost putters, sand wedges, and drivers – I decided it was time to do something about my problem. So, I searched the Internet for golf club identification. And, that’s when I found MaverickLabel.Com’s Golf Club & Sports ID Labels web site. (http://www.mavericklabel.com/golf.html) They have a really simple ordering process which allows you to create your own identification label right there on their site. You simply type-in your name and phone number and you’re literally done in less than two minutes. The labels look fantastic and they don’t stand out like a sore thumb on your golf clubs. And, to top off the deal, MaverickLabel.Com offers free shipping on this product!

I had been thinking of purchasing an expensive set of Ping golf clubs, but was very reluctant due to my carelessness. But, with my new ID labels in hand – I went ahead and bought the new Ping clubs for an upcoming business trip to Florida. I put the great looking labels on each of my clubs with confidence and took them with me to Orlando the next week.

I loved the new clubs and was having a great round of golf with my new business associates. Everything was going great until I got to the 11th hole. I was about 75 yards from the green, in a bit of rough grass. So, I began digging through my bag to find my pitching wedge. And, to no real surprise… It was not in my bag! I couldn’t believe it. I had left the club at another hole – again! I finished the hole with my 9 Iron and we then went back a few holes, asking the golfers behind us if they had seen my club. But, unfortunately for me, none of them had.

To make a long story short, we finished the round without my pitching wedge and waited at the club house for a couple of hours to see if anyone had found the club. Again, however, nothing. It was simply gone. I continued to call the golf course for a few days after my trip, but it was never turned in.

I then got back on the Internet and started searching for anything related to lost golf clubs. And, I found a site that specializes in helping lost golf clubs (http://www.lostgolfclub.com) find their way back to their owners. This site has you enter your specific club’s information – and your personal contact information. Seems like a very good way to help you find your lost clubs, but they did not find my club.

This might be the end of this story, but then, about two weeks later… The course manager called my cell phone to let me know that their grounds keeper had found my club in a tall patch of grass on the 4th hole! He mailed my club back to me and I had it safely back in my bag two days later. And, it was all thanks to the ID label I had put on each of my new clubs. Needless to say, I’m very glad I made that purchase from MaverickLabel.Com.
