I wanted to share with everyone on here a company and a product that I consider myself lucky enough to have found and even luckier to have put in my back pocket. It is the custom yardage books by Tin Box Partners. It is a small American business that if I told you who and where there products have been you wouldn't believe they aren't a huge established golf business. Tin Box was chosen by Davis Love III himself to be the official yardage books of the Ryder Cup (For both teams). In addition, they are found on tour every single week. Some clients include Chris DiMarco, Scott Stallings, Keegan Bradley, and yes Tiger Woods as well as his Caddy Joey Lacava.
I found them online and they have a ton of pictures of all the custom work they have done previously (Just cool to check out...I included a couple photos below). I have gone through several yardage books over the years due to poor quality and flimsy construction, which for me means they never last all that long. I was looking for a high quality yardage book/scorecard holder that wasn't stupid expensive that would stand the test of time. This company offers that. The books are of the highest quality thus only the best materials, vinyls, leathers, exotic hides, are used....There are different options and price points to fit a variety of clients. The customization can be as much or as little as wanted. Their philosophy "YOU CAN DESIGN YOUR COVER JUST THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WILL BE USING IT ON A DAILY BASIS" I personally think that is a great mindset for a company to have, put the customer first...you don't see that all that much anymore. All of the exterior designs are fully embroidered while anything you would like on the inside of the cover (quotes, images) are laser etched in.
I was lucky enough to meet the owner of the company at the PGA Show this week where he hand delivered my book to me. He is a terrific guy and a golfer himself. My eyes lit up when he pulled my creation out of his bag. He put it in my hands and I rubbed my fingers on the smooth leather and the thread of the embroidery....it was so nice! I have included a picture of my custom book that I ordered. It was executed EXACTLY how I wanted it!!! The embroidery is beautiful and very tight (not one loose thread). The leather is soft/smooth, but it is a structured book, not flimsy or loose at all. I wanted my twitter handle on it so it stuck out of the top of my pocket. It perfectly sits above the pocket line and is extremely noticeable. (I had it in my pocket walking the show floor and a friend who I haven't seen in a few years walked over and say he know it was me because he saw the book...pretty cool) Inside I had a quote etched into it to remind me to enjoy every round I play and I love looking at it when I open the book, it gives me some perspective. All in all I LOVE mine and highly recommend that if your in the market for a yardage book/scorecard holder or if you are looking for a really nice gift for a golfing buddy you check out www.tinboxpartners.com (Make sure you tell them "Mr. McGovs" sent you, no seriously tell 'em)
