18Th Hole Fountain Pen Bamboo Black Gold

The mission of the global manufactory - Montegrappa - is to preserve a 100-year-old heritage of technical excellence and craftsmanship. That is why, for the second time, they were asked to create a pen to honor the most significant breakthrough in golf: the creation of the St Andrews golf course. Based on their experience as pioneers among luxury writing instrument manufacturers, Montegrappa is proud to offer the perfect pen to commemorate "Home Of Golf" - the headquarters of golf, the St Andrews golf courses.

In 2010, the 150th anniversary of "The Open Championship" was celebrated at the oldest golf course in the world - "The Old Course" in St Andrews. This inspired the creation of a new line of writing instruments produced by Montegrappa to showcase the quality, history, and beauty associated with the golf courses in St. Andrews.
Izzy Cameron, Brand Development Manager at St Andrews Links, said: "We are very pleased to collaborate with a company that represents history and heritage. This partnership expands our world-famous brand into an area where pen owners can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Montegrappa products, just as those who play on our courses appreciate their golfing legacy spanning over 600 years."

This collection features green celluloid with a detailed cabochon golf ball on the cap and the St Andrews golf courses logo on the body, which, according to Montegrappa, pays tribute to six centuries of golf played on the St Andrews courses, dating back to around 1400 AD. During the 19th century, golf’s path shifted from factory workers to becoming a way of life for the local community. Golf remains a cultural and economic cornerstone of St Andrews to this day.
In the 2012 edition, Montegrappa offers a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen in versions made from black resin and sterling silver or from bamboo black-colored celluloid and 18K rose gold. The silver writing instruments will be produced in a limited edition of 600 pieces each; this number represents the years of golf played in St Andrews. The gold writing instruments are limited to only 7 fountain pens and 7 ballpoint pens, symbolizing the number of golf courses there.
The final, special edition, hand-engraved and called "18th Hole", completes the collection of 18 fountain pens and 18 ballpoint pens made from 18K rose gold and green celluloid. The pattern on the body depicts a golfer in period attire preparing to swing. The image was skillfully recreated from an original photograph by engraver Mario Rossetti. The ring surrounding the cap is decorated with golf images.

Many factors contribute to success in partner relationships — however, gifts — especially for clients — are always well received as a sign of appreciation and a kind gesture.
