Some OEMs do have hole in one awards they send you for free or that you can buy. Sometimes the course has plaques you can get and if we go way back the newspaper will print you name in their golf column.

GolfSpy_APH Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Congrats on your hole in one! Not sure about OEMs... Doesn't hurt to ask. Or course has trips, prizes and other things but you have to hit the button and be on a recorded round with 2 other witnesses.

tszampruch Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 When I got my hole in one, I told Titleist and Taylormade. Both sent me a congratulations letter and bag tag commemorating my hole in one. RockerFCC 1 Quote Link to comment
Dead Solid Bogey Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Congrats!!!… Strangely; I am both happy for you and also jealous… I am out of town for a few days. I’ll suggest to the wife person, that she sits on the curb while waiting for the adult beverage you surely sent. Quote Link to comment
russtopherb Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Congrats on the ace! I got certificates from both Maxfli and Cleveland to congratulate me on mine. I had tagged them both on Twitter with a pic of the ball in the hole, and got messages from them both looking for info so they could send me my certificates.

jbsap Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Congrats!! I have always said that if I ever hit one, I would send the club to a refinisher such as golf garage and have it refinished in a gold color and then put it in a shadow box.
