Golfers are easy to shop for until you try. They already have the rangefinder, the towel with the clip, three boxes of balls and a putter they don't use. Anything technical, they'd rather pick themselves.

So skip the gear and give them the game. A clay figurine of them on the green, in their own swing, their own cap and those trousers. Our studio sculpts each one by hand from your photos and paints in the details golfers notice: the visor, the belt, the plaid. It goes on the desk at work or the shelf at home, and every visitor asks about their handicap.

Here are our golf designs, for men, women and the friends who play together.

For the golfer who lives on the course

1. Mid-swing on the green

Full follow-through, glasses on, bag behind him and the flag a few feet away. Easy to change to their own outfit, cap and club. Mid-Swing on the Green figurine, from $228.

2. Driving range regular

Backwards cap, black outfit, a long drive finished high. For the golfer who's at the range three nights a week working on one thing. Send a photo of their real finish and we'll match the pose, the cap and the way they hold the club. Driving Range Regular figurine, from $149.

For her

3. Her first hole-in-one

Pink polo, white skirt, a visor over grey curls and a swing that says she knew it was going in. Make it the day she finally did it. Her First Hole-in-One figurine, from $149.

For the golf buddies

4. Saturday round for two

Two friends on one green, one lining up a putt and one already celebrating. For a golf partner, a brother or the friend who shows up every Saturday at 7. Saturday Round for Two figurine, from $338.

For the dad who golfs

5. Dad and his golf cart

Bucket hat on, clubs in the back, driving the cart like he owns the course. For the dad whose favorite part of golf is the cart. Dad and His Golf Cart figurine, from $358.

6. Dad with his golf clubs

Club over his shoulder, bag at his side, a little stone path and flowers on the base. A calm, proud pose for Father's Day or his birthday. Dad With His Golf Clubs figurine, from $228.

A golf mini for every occasion

Golfers collect moments as much as scores. Each of these is a good reason to give one.

• A hole-in-one. The rarest day in golf deserves more than a bar tab. Put the date and the hole number on the base.
• Birthdays. A milestone birthday on the course, party hat and all.
• Father's Day. Dad on the green, or dad in the cart with the kids along for the ride.
• The club championship. Trophy-day pose, name and year on the base.
• The end of a golf trip. The whole group from the trip, on one base, as a souvenir everyone chips in for.
• A thank-you for a coach or pro. The person who fixed the slice deserves a mini of their own.

Whatever the reason, the best ones carry a detail from that day: the scorecard number, the course name, the shirt they wore.

Getting a golf mini right

Golfers are particular, so these are the details worth sending us.

• Their swing. A photo of them on the course, ideally mid-swing or at the finish, helps us get the pose right. If you only have face photos, pick a design pose and we'll do the rest.
• The outfit. Their usual polo, cap or visor, belt and shoes. Colors and patterns go on too, so the plaid trousers come out plaid.
• A second angle. A side or back photo helps with the hat, the hair and the way they stand over the ball.
• Left or right handed. Tell us. It's the first thing a golfer checks.
• Their club or course. The name of their home course or "Club champion 2026" fits on the base for free.
• Sizes. Classic is 7.1 in (18 cm), Grand 9.1 in (23 cm) and Showpiece 11.8 in (30 cm), measured to the top of the head. Classic fits on an office desk next to the monitor.
