Tin Cup Products, LLC was formed in the spring of 2009 by two Northern Virginians with a shared passion for the game of golf. Based on USGA Rule 12-2 that states all golfers must be able to "identify their ball" during play, they believed there was a need to create something unique as a way to personalize each players golf ball. Tin Cup is 100% "Made in the USA" and patented. It is a stainless steel ball marker that is guaranteed for life. It was voted one of the best new overall products at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show and the Tin Cup has quickly gained industry and consumer recognition for its innovation and design.
