This past June, when Mike Zitello‘s friend Bob Ruggiero hits a hole in one at hole #6 of North Course of Rolling Acres Golf Course in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, Mike makes a special plaque for him.

“Yes, I designed it myself,” Mike tells us. “Your design team helped me immensely! It is special for Bob for the obvious reason of it being a hole-in-one; special to me because I designed it and made it.”

Mike designed a silver aluminum plate with the vital statistics of Bob’s extraordinary accomplishment in Blackletter font, attached to a wooden plaque that contains a signed score card of the game and, of course, the ball! We’re not sure if Bob bought a round of drinks for the clubhouse, but we’re pretty sure he appreciates Mike’s kind gesture of commemorating what is for many golfers a lifetime goal.

“I have referred and will continue to refer others to your company. Your customer service is excellent in every way. Thanks again.”

Thank YOU, Mike! And congratulations to Bob, too.
