Golfers have their own language. Birdies, bogeys, bunkers, provisional balls, preferred lies and something called a “gentle breeze” that appears capable of moving a golf ball thirty yards sideways.

They also have a remarkable ability to remember every good shot they have ever played while immediately forgetting the other 96 from the same round.

This makes golf perfect for a Colour Palette.

I wanted to find six colours that captured the experience of a round, from the optimism of arriving at the first tee to the traditional post-match analysis over a pint.

The result is The Golfer’s Colour Palette, a colourful celebration of links courses, bunkers, flags, fairways and the all-important 19th hole.

First Tee White

Every round begins with hope.

The golf shoes are clean, the scorecard is untouched and a bright white ball is sitting on the first tee. This could be the day everything finally comes together.

That feeling may last for several minutes.

First Tee White celebrates the glorious optimism at the beginning of a round, before the ball discovers the rough, a bunker or a part of the course nobody realised was in play.

Links Sky Blue

There are few sights better than a golf course beneath a great blue sky.

Links Sky Blue captures the open skies above Britain’s coastal courses, where the views are magnificent and the wind has firm opinions about club selection.

It is the colour of a perfect golfing day, or at least the weather golfers describe when telling everyone about the round afterwards.

Bunker Sand

Golf-course bunkers always look immaculate from a distance.

Smooth sand. Perfectly shaped edges. Beautifully raked patterns.

Then your ball lands in one.

Bunker Sand celebrates one of golf’s most familiar hazards and the moment a golfer confidently says, “I don’t mind this lie,” while privately reconsidering every decision that led them there.

19th Amber

The 19th hole is where scorecards are examined, missed putts are discussed and perfectly ordinary shots improve dramatically with every retelling.

19th Amber is inspired by the colour of a well-earned post-round pint.

For some golfers, it is a celebration. For others, it is an important part of the recovery process.

Either way, it belongs in the palette.

Elusive Flag Red

You can see the flag. You know the distance. You have selected the club and pictured the shot.

The ball has other ideas.

Flag Red celebrates the target at the heart of every hole and that distinctive flash of colour waiting on the green.

Eventually, everyone gets there.

First Cut Green

The first cut sits between the beautifully mown fairway and the properly troublesome rough.

It is the place golfers describe as “absolutely fine” while walking towards the ball with three different clubs.

First Cut Green completes the palette with a deep, earthy green inspired by the grass that turns a straightforward shot into a small tactical meeting.

Unique golf gifts with plenty of character

The Golfer’s Colour Palette is available across a collection of colourful golf gifts, including an 11oz ceramic mug, coasters, magnets and contemporary 11x14 inch golf wall art.

It makes a great golf gift for birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas, retirement or the player who has everything except a reliable short game.

The six colours celebrate the rituals and shared experiences golfers know so well. The fresh ball on the first tee, the open sky, the bunker, the flag, the rough and the pint waiting at the end.

A full round of golf in six colours, no handicap required.
