Showball golf ball with the black eyepiece set into the dimpled cover

Patented sportography

Golf Ball Sportography: the photo is inside the ball

Golf ball with the photograph sealed inside and viewed through the eyepiece. Competitors print the picture on the outside surface. Showball seals it inside the shell where it cannot scuff or peel — a patented design made in Austell, Georgia for 34 years.

What you are actually buying

Golf keeps better records than most sports, and the golf ball keepsake is built for the days worth recording. A member-guest win, a club championship, the flight trophy nobody expected — the scorecard photo or the shot of the pairing on eighteen goes inside the ball, and it sits on a desk instead of in a drawer with the rest of the paper.

Charity scrambles and corporate outings are where the volume is. A sponsor logo on a tee sign disappears the moment the round ends; a ball with the foursome's photograph sealed inside it lasts, which is why tournament committees hand them out at the awards dinner rather than another sleeve of range balls.

The hole-in-one is the piece people ask for by name. An ace deserves more than a bar tab, and a ball carrying the photo taken on that green — the group, the flag, the yardage marker — is the version of the story that survives the retelling.

Retirement rounds, milestone birthdays and the ball a father and son played their last round with round out the line. The dimpled cover is unchanged, the Showball mark sits on the face, and the eyepiece is set flush into the cover so the photograph stays protected inside.
