Four stacked lines doing the heavy lifting here. Life is in green flowing brush script across the top. SHORT in chunky black block letters straight below, all caps and stout. Swing back in flowing kelly cursive underneath that, with the same hand-painted feel. Then HARDs got another stout black slab at the bottom anchoring the whole composition. Theres a black golf club leaning diagonally up the right side, the iron head poking down behind the bottom row, and a small black golf ball with three dimple marks sits at the base just under the clubhead.
Just 2 colors here, kelly green and black, no faffing with extra colour stops. Stitch counts run from seven thousand and eight on the smallest three inch wide layout up to 21,531 on the largest 8.01 inch. Density at 375 is moderate-dense for a quote, the black block sans letters lay down heavy because the columns are wider than typical script. Wilcoms my software with cross-hatch underlay under the block fills, that keeps the heavy black letters from sinking on softer fabrics like fleece. Its a typography-led inspirational quote piece, good word art for any golfer. Use medium cutaway stabiliser under cotton and heavier on stretch.
I had a customer order the 6-inch back in march for her husbands birthday, hes a weekend golfer at their local club, she stitched it on the back yoke of a black polo and the green script just popped. Then she stitched a second one on a microfiber golf-towel for his bag. Came back asking for the 8-inch version because the towel was such a hit at the club her mates wanted matching ones for their birthday rotations.
Pop this on golf polos, tee-time tees, microfibre cart towels, golf-bag panels, denim jacket pockets, or a sweatshirt back panel for nineteenth-hole gatherings. Add water-soluble topping over knit fabrics so the block letters dont sink. Skip dark green polos obviously, the kelly lettering will vanish. Hoop tight, the dense black blocks will pull the fabric if its hooped loose, and run the slowest stitch speed on the satin shaft of the club for cleanest lines.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
