Most shops sell a dozen bundles and let you work out the difference. We sell four, each built for a different kind of occasion. Here is which is which.
The Starter Set — $55
A course print and a scorecard mug. One thing he hangs, one thing he uses every morning.
This is the set for a birthday, a colleague who golfs, or the person you like but do not know well enough to spend a hundred dollars on. It arrives looking like more than it cost, which is the whole job of a gift in this range.
Choose it if: you want to get it right without making a statement.
The Desk Set — $72
A desk mat with all eighteen holes of his course, and a pocket journal with the same course inside. One stays at the office, one goes back out on the round.
This is the set for the golfer who spends more of the week at a desk than on the course, and would rather be looking at the course.
Choose it if: he works at a desk and talks about golf at it.
The Home Course Set — $99
The print, a personalized towel for the bag, and an embroidered hat. Three pieces, all carrying his name, and not one of them needs a size.
It covers the wall, the bag and the head, which is roughly the whole surface area of a golfer. It is also the set to choose when the gift has to land in front of other people — a father, a father-in-law, a sixtieth birthday with the family watching.
Choose it if: you want the gift to be the good one.
The Clubhouse Set — $139
The large 18 by 24 inch print, the towel, the hat and the mug. Same idea as the Home Course Set, built around a print sized for an office wall rather than a hallway.
This is a retirement gift, a thirtieth-anniversary-at-the-club gift, a round-number birthday. It is the one that gets unwrapped last and photographed.
Choose it if: the occasion only happens once.
What is the same in all four
- One course, one name. You fill in the details once for the prints. The towel and the hat have less room, so the Home Course and Clubhouse sets ask for a short version too.
- Nothing needs a size. That is deliberate.
- Twenty-four hours to fix a typo, free. Nothing goes to print before then — and you can ask for a proof by email before anything is made.
- Shipping is included — there is no delivery line at checkout. Each piece is made in the workshop that specializes in it, so a set can arrive in two or three parcels, a few days apart.
- Every set costs less than its pieces bought separately — the saving is spelled out on each page.
If you are still unsure
Buy the Home Course Set. It is the middle of the range for a reason: it is the gift on the site that looks most like you thought about it, and nothing in it can be the wrong size.
If Christmas is the occasion, order by December 10 for the contiguous United States, or December 7 for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the territories.
