The Valero Texas Open is an annual golf tournament on the PGA tour which takes place at TPC San Antonio Oaks Course. This event brings people and families from all over to enjoy various events and venues at the course. When the organizers wanted a special promotional item to offer at the “Backyard” event, open to the public, they contacted Playwell Bricks about a special custom set.
The Avocado
The client explained that they wanted something golf-themed for their custom set. In brainstorming, they considered a cowboy boot on a green (the State of Texas is shaped like a boot), a golf cart, a trophy, or even a tee box. The Playwell designer came up with preliminary concepts for a few of these ideas, but nothing stuck until the client asked them to design a set of the 16th green.
The 16th green at TPC San Antonio Oaks golf course is unique for its distinctive shape and the bunker (sand trap) in its middle, nicknamed the “avocado hole.” The Playwell Bricks designer studied images of the green and got to work.
The Design
Taking great care to include all the different aspects of a golf green and the stands, this custom Playwell Bricks came to life. At the client’s request, stickers were created to show both the Texas and the American flags flying on the green. The designer took great care to include all the flags that were requested in a way that they could fly without colliding with the stand, no small feat when working in miniature.
Conclusion
500 sets of this custom Valero Texas Open were soon on their way to the Valero Texas Open, where they were offered as a limited-edition keepsake to golf pros and fans.
