"Dormie" Golf Tees in Epoxy Hand Turned Candle Holder on Zebrawood

Being dormie in match play is one of the quiet dramas of golf — you are up by as many holes as remain, and your opponent cannot beat you unless you falter. It is a precarious kind of lead, a test of nerve and focus, and the golfers who have been there know exactly what it feels like: the wide fairways suddenly narrower, every approach more deliberate, every putt a small act of will. Golf gives you moments like this, and it never lets you forget them.

The golfer who plays match play understands something the casual weekend player does not — that every shot has a psychological weight, that the game inside the game is often the harder one. They are mentally tough, adaptable, and deeply in love with a sport that humbles them and rewards them in equal measure.

This candle holder was made for that golfer. Real golf tees are suspended in fairway-green epoxy resin, revealed in cross-section by Jeff's lathe — their familiar forms cross-sectioned into something unexpected and beautiful. The base is turned from zebrawood, its striking grain as dramatic as a well-played round. Small enough for a desk, significant enough for a trophy shelf.
