Precision, patience and determination are some of the qualities that each professional golfer is expected to display on a golf course. With such a great amount of preparation any exceptional golfer would definitely expect to be awarded for their wins. Golf is one of the major sporting events in the world that is greatly popular for having exceptionally skilled players. They have not only won several championships but also been awarded various golf trophies. To a golf spectator, winning may not seem like such a difficult task, but it actually takes a lot of practice and discipline to be able to reach their level. These characteristics of a golfer, plus many others are very important if they are out to win.
There is no major golf tournament that does not include golf trophies as the prize to be won. Just as in all other sporting events there is a lot of diversity that can be seen in the various forms of trophies that are used to award golfers. These not only range in design but the prestige for each particular trophy.
Golf is played at various levels and at the end of each level a winning golfer is given a trophy for his excellence. The most notable difference in the various types of golf awards is the kind or design used in making the trophy. A very common design passed down over many generations is the statue of a golfer, either in action or the golfer may strike a pose standing with a golf club.
Trophies in the form of plaques and statues are the conventional types of awards. However, today new creative ideas have been incorporated into these trophies and it is not uncommon to find golf gift baskets used as golfer awards. Furthermore, whatever is contained in the gift basket varies along with the type of present that is awarded to the golfer. These gifts may include golf balls and other accessories that can be used in the sport.
Another factor that adds to the variety of golf awards are the materials that are used on these trophies. Depending on the kind of golf that is being played the materials may be more durable than others, preferably made of precious metals or it may be made from any general material. One of the great determinants of the kind of material used is whether the game is a high profile one or not.
High profile golfing events include some of the major professionals of the game who are internationally acclaimed, who in most cases are competing to be ranked at the top. Low profile events will include amateur golfers who have not yet reached the highest golfing pinnacle. The profile of the game may also determine the price of the golf trophies that are presented in such championships. It is always expected that professional golfers will get trophies that are much more expensive due to the nature of the materials used.
