Best Players Packs Ever!

[Pwingles]

I honestly can't remember which has been the best. I'm one of the people that would rather see great players packs for everyone and trophy only ams payout.

I like this idea, although it wouldnt go over well in my area

The players pack for the AM side of the Vibram Open (VibrAM) this year looks pretty good, even if the cost to play is $75. It is a 3 day event over 2 courses and the last day you play Maple Hill Golds (8215ft, 1010 rating) right before the pros start (if you make the cut after day 2).

Four Vibram golf discs
2012 Vibram Open Vest
Vibram Open / Hyland Orchard pint glass
Maple Hill and Hyland Orchard free day of play pass
Two Player Parties, Buffet

I'd say the "value" is close to double the entry fee.

There are still open spots:

We are also in the process of securing prizes for card winners for each round. I'll announce them when all four (or more!) are finalized.

Bowling Green has to be the best for me personally. 6-7 discs, a dri-fit, food, minis, etc. I've heard the Memorial they throw at Fountain Hills, AZ is a phenomenal player's pack.

Anyone know what kind of players pack they give out for the Brett Hambrick Memorial Open, in Columbus, OH? It's an NT event, but I don't see any info concerning the players packs.

The PA State DG Championships had nice player packs this year. I was able to snag a glow CFR Teebird, gummy mini, water bottle, quick dry t-shirt, multiple stickers, and one of those super-thin butterfly wallets.

Played my first tournament recently and i have to start by saying it was run really well, the course looked amazing, I had a blast and I do feel that I got my $40 worth so i can't complain. If i had a complaint, it would be this: I was eager to see the player's pack hoping id get a cool disc or something. The players pack had a 2 day pool pass at the park, a tournament T shirt, a cloth to wipe your glasses, a pen that was worth no more than a dollar, a pack of gum, post it notes, and a small pin to put on your bag/shirt w/e. This was a B-tier event and had no trophies. Is this standard for player's packs? It was a let down but i didn't want to complain considering no one else seemed to be and I did have a good time. Now that I think back, someone asked the TD what the pack would look like prior to the tournament and all the people running it said he liked to keep them a surprise. Looks like he wanted to hide it.

^I would have been extremely disappointed as well...B tier you say? WOW

At the Rocky Mtn. Womens Championships last weekend:

This is just what I remember, I'm sure I left some stuff out. The pack was HUGE!

For players:
2 or 3 discs (full color buzz + others)
Gold plated metal mini personalized with the players name and the event logo
Sweet zip up sweater
tournament t-shirt
excellent lunch between rounds
tournament stamped mini
Fade Bag Straps!
Coupon for free lunch at noodles and things
I can't even remember the rest and there was a lot more.

For Caddies:
DD Dri Fit shirt
Full Color Buzz
Excellent lunch between rounds
coupon for free lunch at noodles and things

When my gf and I got home from the event and piled all the swag on the table you would of think that she won am worlds with the amount of stuff on the table and she didn't even cash!

I can't even explain the amount of stuff they gave away. They gave away 2 pairs of Keens and a basket before the event even started!
