Here's the deal. My girlfriend's parents will be in town in a few weeks and I plan on asking her to marry me while they're here. She golfs, I golf, her dad golfs so it only seemed to make sense that I do in on the golf course where we can all be together and yet away from everyone else. The specifics are in concept only now, but I'm sure they'll take care of themselves when the time comes.

Here's my question. Does anyone know if someone makes a golf ball keepsake enclosure? An idea that was brought to my attention was to find a jewelry box that is shaped just like a golf ball to place the ring in and have her open, instead of the normal ring box. I don't even know if such a thing exists, but if there are any leads out there I would be very appreciative.

Oh, I almost forgot. This is going to be a complete surprise to her, so it would have to be in a way that I could find it discreetly.

Thanks

Thanks Juan. That's exactly what I was looking for. Man, I don't know how I missed it but I've searched nearly the entire surface of the internet looking for that. I ordered and received a dozen ProV1x's that have "Will you marry me" stamped on the side. I'm not quite sure how it's going to play out, but I have a feeling that will all take care of itself. I keep logo balls from courses I've played and milestone balls (lowest score, first birdie/eage, longest drive, etc.) in a case so this will surely go front and center.

Thanks again. That was very helpful!

I'm hoping neither your girlfriend nor her parents, unbeknownst to you, are avid readers of The Sand Trap dot com!

you bring up a good point! LOL.

Glad to help you out bro. i know how hectic or even nerve racking it could be to get things to go how you want them to. Good luck with the proposal and may you enjoy a lifetime of love and happiness. Peace

As much grief as she gives me for hanging out on the forum and reading the articles, she better not be doing the same. It was a calculated risk since I figured there are more people out there who either know of a product or have certain avenues in golf that I don't. Which is ironic since it was listed right there on eBay, which I still can't figure out how I missed it.

Regardless, when her parents come down, I'll sit and have a talk with them when she's gone and ask for her dad's permission. Then, take the three of them to Disney to play a round of golf and whatever happens will happen from there.

Again, I sincerely appreciate the time and help you've all put in. It's about a month away from happening so I'll either be really happy or drowning my sorrows on the range for a few hours.

It couldn't have been a better day to golf. Partly cloudy and in the low 80s. We played at Disney's Osprey Ridge golf course, which I also found out will all be bulldozed in the near future. I waited until the 18th green and challenged her to a putting contest. I told her I would buy her a big dinner if she sank a long putt. I had arranged for my mom to meet us and she was hiding behind a tree on the back side of the green. She missed the putt and I asked her to try again, this time with a "special" golf ball. I had ordered some Titleists with "Sarah will you marry me" printed on them.

So, I rolled her the ball and told her to make sure she lines the putt up correctly. She moved the ball around to line up the writing and she saw the words and by the time she looked up, I was on my knee with the golf ball jewelry case and the ring and asked her to marry me and she said yes. The folks at Disney gave us so many little gifts and even made a little congratulations type cake for us afterwards. I work at Disney part time, so I used a few connections. I had 6 red and 6 yellow roses waiting for her and the entire staff offered their congratulations when we got back to the clubhouse. She was completely surprised and her parents even more so. I had talked to her dad the night before while she and her mom were on a walk.

Now to the scores. She shot a 56 on the front, which is great for only having played 7 or so months! After that, she made some bad shots and picked up on a few holes and became a bit frustrated. I was 5-over at the turn and then the strangest thing happened. I don't know if I started thinking about it or what, but my scores started to slowly escalate. I ended up shooting a 49 on the back for a 90 total, which isn't bad for me at all. Her dad ended up shooting a 98, which is good for him since they haven't been able to play golf in Wisconsin for 5 months or so.

All in all, it's been a great day. Thanks to the guys who took the effort to help me out. Everything fell into place today and it could not have gone any better.

OK. Now to the chase. Are you getting married on a golf course?

OBTW, congratulations and best wishes.
