This was a request from a friend of mine who, with his golf clique, traveled to Spain each year for their annual tournament. He wanted an inexpensive trophy for the winners (They played pairs) it had to have the trophy name on it (The Ten Euro Trophy) and I had to make two (identical). So this is what I came up with.
Sapele top and bottom, a piece of perspex tube, Tee from beech, little inset in the top green fablon.
Perhaps I should put this up for critique?

Nice and original ,

not sure about the varnish finish ?

 

[Anonymous]

I like it! ...but l agree with Blister, I'd have preferred an sheen rather than a hard shine (I guess you were going for durability :wink: )

 

[hpl]

That's a great idea.

 

[PowerTool]

Pleasantly different,nice idea

Nice piece,would agree with others that the finish takes from it.
Havent played golf for some years now and have won worse pieces than that, well done just one small thing the top of the tee peg is too large it should be under the ball, Otherwise you hit the peg first and who knows what happens ,just a small thing but smaller things than that have lost golf tournements . but make the two the same somebody will be happy with them I know I would.

Thank you for your comments,

client,,,,,?
Boysie, I know its too big. Its not real you know, its only a pretend Tee.

Boysie, The tee is the right size ! - Just English balls are smaller then Irish !

JEEZ, Lads, You boys know all about turning and when someone askes for Crituqe you are not behind the door in airing your views,as some pointed out with the finish,which is at the of the day just your opienon.
I on the other hand pointed something out that is written in stone.
Loz, I'm afraid the English Gentlemen and us Europeans had the same size balls. It was the Yanks who had the big ones. John welcome to the forum you can see what it's like it's very hard to get away with anything.I Made my comments before the rest of your Gallery was seen if I had waited I could have commented on the finish of the Storks/Swans I would have tidyed it up a bit around the legs and base.
John, in time you will notice I never Post pictures of my work, you know copyright and legal stuff like that, Tam has posted me the wherwithall to do this(Tam I have not forgot) and when I do (it's very expensive for commision work now and you have to wait) then you can have a go at

Pete, When have you ever heard an Irish Person say an isulting thing about our good neighbours, Shame on you.
Luckily no one has ever taken me seriously. I wonder why? The only thing that takes me serious is ME and then sometimes I'm not too sure either. REgards Boysie
