A hole in one is the shot most golfers wait a lifetime for, and some never get. When someone you know finally makes one, they will tell the story for years, usually to anyone who will stand still. These gifts give the story a permanent home, with the details that matter to a golfer: the hole, the yardage, the club and the people who saw it go in.
The Ace, the hole-in-one print drawn as an architect's plan
The Ace makes the shot official. The hole is drawn as an architect's plan, with the tee boxes, fairway, green and flag, and the bunkers and water placed where they really are, from your choices. A dotted ball flight runs from the tee into the cup. The yardage is set in big type, with the club, the hole and par, the course, the date and the witnesses. Choose classic paper or a deep green night look. The drawing is an illustration of their hole, not a survey, and it reads beautifully on an office or den wall. From $45.
Milestone Certificate, the simple and affordable option
If you want something quick and modest, or you are a playing partner who wants to mark the moment without outdoing the family, the Milestone Certificate is made for exactly this. It carries their name, the date, the place, the details and the witnesses on a certificate worth framing. It also covers other big firsts, so keep it in mind for the next 300 game or first race finish in your circle. From $24.
The Round, if the ace came in their best round
Sometimes the hole in one is part of a round worth remembering on its own. The Round draws all 18 holes as small illustrated plans, each with its par, yardage and score, with the full scorecard beneath: front, back and total, birdies circled and bogeys boxed like a real card. The total and the score to par are set in big type, with the course, the date and who they played with. A single 1 on that card says more than any caption could. Nine-hole rounds work too. From $45.
Every Course I've Played, for the golfer whose ace came on the road
If the ace happened on a trip, at a course they may never play again, Every Course I've Played puts it in the context of their whole golfing life. Every course they've played becomes an engraved tile with the city and state, the year they first played it and their best score there, numbered in order. Totals sit up top (courses, states and countries), with a map of the states they've played, their first course, their low round and their latest. It holds up to about sixty courses. From $45.
Born on Game Day Golf Balls, so the ace ball can retire
Nobody plays the hole-in-one ball again. A set of Born on Game Day Golf Balls gives them six to play instead, each printed with their name, birth date and the final score of their team's game on the day they were born. It is a small add-on to pair with a print, or a stocking stuffer on its own. From $52 for six.
Gifts from the group who saw it
The witnesses are part of the story, which makes The Ace a natural group gift from the foursome. Their names print right on it. If the club has a tradition of buying the golfer a drink, this is a way to return the favor that lasts longer than the round at the bar.
