Golf presents for the occasions nobody plans for.
Christmas gets a run-up. A leaving do gets a fortnight, and a thank you to whoever organised the society trip usually gets remembered on the coach home. This page is for those, where the occasion is doing more of the work than the recipient is.
The short version. Match the piece to what's being marked, not to how much golf the person plays.
A milestone birthday
A sixtieth wants scale. Twilight Round is a lone figure walking up the last under a burning sky, and framed at a larger size it's a mantelpiece piece rather than a spare-room one. If the room it's going in is already busy, The Long Fourth is a sweeping heathland dogleg drawn as a vintage travel poster, flatter and quieter on a wall. Framed, either painting runs £69.00 at A3 and £102.99 at A2, so the size decision is the price decision. Frames come in A3 and A2. A framed course print made from their own photograph is priced separately, and costs more at both.
A leaving do, a captain's year, an end of something
These want the specific place rather than a good painting, because the whole point is the years spent on it. The course print repaints one photograph of a hole or the clubhouse as a painting, and the preview is free and approved on screen before anything is charged. It carries no lettering, so the card does the talking and the picture does the remembering. If it's a retirement specifically, golf retirement gifts goes into it properly.
A thank you
Whoever booked the tee times, chased the money and drove the minibus is owed something better than a round at the bar. The Nineteenth is the right register for a thank you: warm rather than solemn, and about the round being remembered rather than won. A pack of ten cards at £19.99 or a mug at £16.99 works where a print would be too much.
A group present
When several people are chipping in, pool it into one framed piece rather than spreading it across three small ones. A framed print at A3 or A2 reads as a proper send-off and leaves room on the card for everyone's name, which is where names belong. None goes on the artwork; we have no way to put one there and no wish to. If the occasion is a society day with a whole prize table to fill, that's costed out separately.
How it arrives
Made to order in the UK, four to nine working days door to door, postage included. Order a fortnight before a fixed date and you will not have to think about it again.
Where this sits
This sits in the golfer next to golf Christmas gifts, which is the same problem with a fixed date on it, and sorted by occasion, which takes the whole calendar at once.
