Group Gifting at This Level
Luxury gifts become achievable through group contributions:

A Swyng voucher for the exact pooled amount keeps it simple and flexible.

A Small Add-On to Unwrap
At the £500 luxury tier, the gift IS the experience. But if you want a generous physical token to unwrap alongside the voucher, three dozen Pro V1s lands as a thoughtful and recognised premium add-on.
The most-played ball on tour for two decades. At a £500 gift tier, three dozen alongside the voucher feels properly considered - a season's supply of premium balls plus a championship course day.
