Name of Product: Tin Cup Personal Imprinting System 
Price of Product: starting at $17.95
Where can the product be purchased: online from The Tin Cup and in golf pro shops and retail stores nationwide.
Description of Product: “Tin Cup Products, LLC was formed in the spring of 2009 by a couple of longtime Northern Virginia natives who enjoy the game of golf. Based on the USGA Rule that states all golfers must be able to “identify their ball” during tournament play, we felt that there was a need to create something unique to personalize the golf ball marking process. Made in the USA, the Tin Cup is made of 100% stainless steel and produced in Connecticut. The Tin Cup is guaranteed for life.”
Review of Product: My father is a big golfer and I thought this would be such an interesting and unique gift for him! Plus he enjoys wine so I selected the “vino” one (pictured above) with a chuckle. It arrived in a nice tan leather bag along with sharpie markers to use for the imprinting. This is such a creative gift for the golfer in your life – a way to add some personalization and pizazz to the boring golf ball!
