What’s in the Ryder Cup swag bag? A Long Island welcome for the world’s media

|

Reporters from Tokyo to London are touching down on Long Island this week for the Ryder Cup, and the first thing they got was a bag of goodies. The message tucked inside every item was clear: you’ve arrived on Long Island.

We cracked one open to spotlight the local businesses featured.

What they get

This nifty hat from The Northport Hotel in Northport.
A bag of kettle cooked North Fork Potato Chips.
A free drink at any of the Tap Room’s nine locations across Nassau and Suffolk counties.
A poncho from Discover Long Island, which promotes tourism to Long Island.
A bag of spices from Vik’S Garlic Fix in Patchogue.
Golf tees from the new Belmont Park Village in Elmont.
Soap from Lavender by the Bay out in East Marion.
A pair of sunglasses, also from Discover Long Island.

Here’s everything in the Ryder Cup media swag bag, together on a table. (Andrew Rappaport photos/GLI)
