Golf Clubhouses, Scorecards and Engraved Glassware

Clubhouse photographs, scorecards, club crests and presentation inscriptions all provide source material for golf engraving.

A captain's year, a retirement, a particular round or a favourite course can each be the starting point for a design.

The Architecture of the Game

Clubhouse architecture gives a design recognisable lines and proportions.

For St Andrews and Royal Birkdale, the buildings' outlines and distinctive details are prepared at a scale that remains clear on glass.

The photograph is assessed, the linework redrawn and the composition adjusted for the engraving area.

Recording a Round

A memorable round, a personal best or a club event may be recorded in a scorecard.

Names, scores, dates and signatures give scorecards their particular character. These details can be arranged for glass while retaining the structure of the original record.

The layout is prepared for legibility at the scale and viewing distance of the chosen plaque or presentation piece.

  • Engraved golf scorecard wall plaque with silver-toned corner brackets, featuring a golf course logo, player details, a scorecard table, and a signature line.

Beyond the Fairway

The social side of golf provides another source of designs. The nineteenth hole, a favourite course or a shared trip may be the subject.

Glassware for these occasions can carry a place, phrase or personal inscription associated with the people using it.

From Reference to Engraving

Reference material is reviewed for engraving suitability. Layout, proportion and line weight are adjusted before an Engraving Layout is prepared for approval.

The approved artwork is transferred to stencil and cut into the glass by sandblasting in the Fife studio.

Clubhouse photographs, scorecards and club crests can be prepared for glassware or a presentation piece.
