In this blog, the owner of Cubic Promote sits down with David Marion, Sales Manager at The Corporate Golfer (our supplier for Brand Name Merchandise like Nike and Under Armour). David, who has been with The Corporate Golfer for over a decade, shares his extensive experience in the promotional golf merchandise industry, from custom branding to the latest trends in golf gear.
From Staples to The Corporate Golfer: David’s Journey
David has spent over 15 years in the wholesale supply industry, with a significant portion of that time dedicated to The Corporate Golfer. Previously, David worked at Staples / Corporate Express, where he spent time travelling and working across Europe. His journey into the world of corporate golf merchandising was a natural progression. (His Linkedin: (99+) Jean-Vincent David Marion | LinkedIn)
David says,
“I’ve been with The Corporate Golfer for 11 years, and during that time, I’ve seen how golf products have evolved in the corporate world. Golf is not just about the game; it’s about creating memorable experiences for clients and employees alike.”
Golf Products More Than Just Balls
David’s expertise is in sourcing and branding high-quality golf products, with a particular focus on custom-branded golf balls, putters, and golf bags. A key piece of advice David offers to companies planning corporate golf days is to select the right golf ball.
Not Just Pro V1
While many clients request Pro V1 balls for their events in many instances they might not be suitable for all participants. I must admit, I am guilty of this, as I have always considered the Pro V1 the very best golf ball to use.
As David says:
“The Pro V1 is fantastic for experienced golfers, but for corporate events where you have a mix of skill levels, something like a Callaway Super Soft is a better choice.”
David explains. “It’s easier to hit, goes a longer distance, and works for the majority of participants.”
Besides golf balls, David discusses the importance of adding value to corporate golf days by offering a variety of options. “It’s about the total experience,” he says. “Whether it’s a golf towel, a valuables pouch, or a golf bag, branded merchandise can enhance the event, making it more memorable for attendees.”

Golf Apparel and the Under Armour Revolution
Our supplier, “The Corporate Golfer”, started as a supplier of golf balls and accessories. David notes that the business has expanded into apparel, with brands like Under Armour now playing a key role. “Under Armour golf polos have taken off for us.”
David shares. “They’re not just for the golf course—they’re perfect for corporate uniforms as well.”
David’s story highlights the shift in corporate branding. “We never expected to hold thousands of Under Armour polos in stock, but now we do. They fit the corporate space perfectly, and the demand has been phenomenal.”
The Power of Branding in Corporate Golf
Branding in corporate golf has evolved beyond simply placing a logo on a product; it’s about creating lasting impressions. “Corporate golf days are a great opportunity to connect with clients, but it’s the branded merchandise that keeps your company at the top of their mind,“ says David.
With more companies embracing corporate golf events as a way to foster relationships and build brand awareness, it’s essential to work with trusted suppliers like Cubic Promote and access products stocked by “The Corporate Golfer” to ensure top-notch quality and seamless service. As David puts it, “It’s about providing high-quality branded products and delivering them with exceptional service—because in the end, it’s not just about the merchandise; it’s about the experience you create.”
