Caddiepen - the pencil on a reel
"Anyone got a pencil?" must be one of the most commonly
heard questions among golfers leaving the first green. Usually followed
by much hopeful rummaging through bags until one is found, then
standing around watching each other perform the miracle of writing.
How much easier if it was permanently available and virtually impossible
to lose.
Step forward caddiepen. Like all good ideas it is beautifully simple.
You hang it on your bag, you pull the pencil out on its string to
write down your score, and when you're done it reels itself in automatically.
The makers claim it is extremely durable, with a high-grade plastic
reel and nylon thread which won't rust or rot. Not rocket science,
but someone needed to think of it.
This is a natural both for over the counter sales in pro shops
and for the corporate and society markets. It can be personalised
with logos and advertising messages which are protected from the
weather under a permanent acrylic dome and it comes in a variety
of colours as standard. Corporate colours can also be catered for
(see the company
website).
It lasts, it won't get lost in the rough, the trees or the pond,
it is constantly visible and will be in permanent use. And yes, you can get replacement pencils, in matching colours.
