Sponsor signs are a great way to give extra visibility and value to your charity golf outing’s hole sponsors. Placed either at the tee box and/or around the green, these signs often include sponsor logos, images, and ideally website addresses.
However, to get your sponsors the biggest bang for their buck, you need to give golfers a reason to pay attention to the signage. To do this, consider adding quotes, facts or fun tidbits.
Depending on the inspiration behind your outing, there are a few approaches you can take:
If you’re looking to draw attention to your signs, we also recommend adding in fun visuals or quotes. To help with the latter, we’ve pulled together as many quality golf quotes as we can find from golf legends, comedians, movies, authors, and anonymous sources. We tried to pick only those that can easily fit on a sign, but that proved harder than we expected.

Consider spreading out this monologue over several holes.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking.
So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one—big hitter, the Lama—long, into a ten–thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? "Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga–galunga."
So we finish the 18th, and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?" And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
