Event Caddie Visit to Acushnet Europe HQ
Tuesday 16th December was a special day for the Event Caddie team, as we had the pleasure of visiting Acushnet Europe HQ in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, for a pre Christmas visit.
Event Caddie Team visit Acushnet Europe
It was a fantastic opportunity to spend time with the George and the Acushnet team, review our 2025 performance, and look ahead to how we can accelerate growth in 2026—all while gaining behind-the-scenes insight into how some of the world’s leading golf products are created.
A Warm Welcome at Acushnet Europe for the Event Caddie Team
From the moment we arrived, the visit felt more like catching up with colleagues than a formal meeting. As one member of the Event Caddie team put it:
“Finally meeting the team and putting faces to the names—we genuinely feel like they’re part of our team.”
That sense of partnership set the tone for a productive and enjoyable day.
Behind the Scenes: Custom Logo Golf Balls Factory Tour
Titleist Logo Golf Ball Pad Printing
We started the morning with a guided tour of the custom logo golf balls factory. Experts showed us how they professionally pad print Titleist logo golf balls.
We watched the process step by step, from artwork proof approval to the finished product. Every stage demonstrated precision, quality control, and expert craftsmanship.
One standout moment was discovering the innovative tool designed to open box lids in one swift, ninja-like movement—ensuring packaging is never damaged in the process. Sometimes it’s the smallest innovations that make the biggest difference.
Buffet Lunch & Crested Department Tour – Footjoy Apparel and Titleist Headwear
Acushnet Crested Tour with the lovely Simon!
After a well-earned buffet lunch, we then continued with a tour of the Crested Department. Here, we observed how FootJoy golf apparel and Titleist headwear are expertly embroidered.
Simon, our tour guide, entertained us with humour and insight. His colleague Mandy amazed us by applying 270 domed decals onto ball markers in just one hour. A true master of her craft.
“Simon was funny and informative, and seeing Mandy’s speed and precision was incredible.”
Looking Ahead to 2026 – Our Partnership with Acushnet Europe

We rounded off the visit with open and collaborative discussions around future opportunities, innovation, and how Event Caddie and Acushnet can continue to grow together heading into 2026 and beyond.
The visit reinforced the importance of strong partnerships, shared values, and attention to detail—qualities that underpin both brands.
Thank You, Acushnet Europe
