Make Your Golf Bag Distinctly Yours

Whether you’re personalizing your own golf bag, recognizing a coach, preparing a meaningful gift or outfitting a golf team, custom pocket embroidery adds a polished detail that stands out on and off the course.

Our golf bag pocket embroidery service is completed on commercial embroidery equipment with careful attention to placement, scale and thread selection.

You send only the removable pocket - not the complete golf bag.

How It Works

01

 Confirm That Your Pocket Is Removable

Locate the zippered or detachable ball pocket on your golf bag and confirm that it can be completely removed. Please do not ship the entire golf bag. Complete golf bags are not accepted unless approved in writing before shipment.
02

Select Your Embroidery

Choose your personalization option and submit the requested name, initials, number, monogram or logo. You will also select your preferred embroidery font and thread color.
03

Upload a Pocket Photograph

Upload a clear photograph of the removed pocket laid flat. The entire pocket, seams, zippers and existing decoration should be visible. Please also provide the pocket’s approximate width and height at its widest points.
04

Ship the Pocket to Stitch & Ember

After placing your order, you will receive preparation, packing and shipping instructions. The customer is responsible for the cost of shipping the pocket to Stitch & Ember. We strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service and retaining the tracking information. Local drop-off is available by appointment only.
05

Approve Your Layout

Text and monogram orders receive a layout confirmation when needed. Custom-logo orders receive a digital embroidery proof before production. Your order will not enter production until the requested information, usable artwork, pocket and required approval have been received.
06

We Embroider and Return It

Your pocket will be professionally embroidered, inspected, carefully repackaged and shipped to the return address provided with the order. Return shipping is calculated at checkout.

Turnaround Time

Standard production time is approximately 10–15 business days after:

  • The removable pocket has been delivered to Stitch & Ember
  • All required order information has been received
  • Usable artwork has been provided
  • The digital proof or layout has been approved
  • Any additional charges have been paid

Shipping and transit time are not included in the production timeframe. Large, complex or group orders may require additional production time.

If you have a firm event or gift date, include it with your order. Requested dates are reviewed but are not guaranteed unless confirmed by Stitch & Ember in writing.

  • Pocket Requirements

    For the best results, the pocket must:

    • Be completely removable from the golf bag
    • Lie reasonably flat when removed
    • Have sufficient clear space for embroidery
    • Be clean, empty and dry
    • Be free from rigid inserts within the embroidery area
    • Have no significant damage, cracking or deterioration where the design will be placed
    • Have seams, zippers and hardware that allow the requested area to be safely embroidered

    Every pocket is evaluated before production. Stitch & Ember reserves the right to decline or cancel an order if the pocket cannot be embroidered safely or the requested design is unsuitable for the available area.

    If the pocket is determined to be unsuitable, the embroidery charge will be refunded. Inbound shipping is nonrefundable, and the customer remains responsible for return shipping.

  • Artwork Requirements

    For custom logos, vector artwork is strongly preferred.

    Accepted file formats:

    • SVG
    • EPS
    • AI
    • PDF
    • High-resolution PNG with a transparent background

    Screenshots, photographs of logos, low-resolution graphics and heavily compressed JPEG files may require additional artwork preparation or may not be suitable for embroidery.

    Embroidery is not the same as printing. Very small lettering, thin lines, gradients, shadows and fine details may need to be simplified to produce a clean embroidered result.

    If additional artwork preparation, specialty digitizing or more than 10,000 stitches is required, Stitch & Ember will provide the additional charge for approval before production.

  • Thread Colors and Design Placement

    Thread colors are selected from our available professional embroidery thread collection. We will make every effort to coordinate with your requested color or brand color.

    Please note:

    • Colors displayed on screens may vary from physical thread colors.
    • Exact Pantone or printed-color matching cannot be guaranteed.
    • Final design size depends on the pocket’s usable embroidery area.
    • Placement may be adjusted slightly to accommodate seams, zippers, pocket construction or existing decoration.
    • Designs are centered within the usable area unless another placement is approved.
  • Group, Team and Tournament Orders

    Need multiple golf bag pockets embroidered for a team, tournament, golf club, corporate outing or recognition program?

    Volume pricing may be available when pockets use the same logo, placement and general layout. Individual names or numbers can be added when submitted together in a clearly formatted list.

    Group orders should be submitted through our Request a Quote form so we can review:

    • Total quantity
    • Shared logo or design
    • Individual names or numbers
    • Pocket styles and sizes
    • Requested completion date
    • Shipping or local delivery requirements
  • Proofs and Revisions

    Custom-logo services include one digital proof and one complimentary revision.

    Additional revisions, a new design direction or artwork changes requested after the first revision may require an additional fee.

    Proofs are intended to confirm:

    • Design content
    • General layout
    • Approximate scale
    • Thread-color selection
    • Spelling

    Digital proofs are visual representations. Final thread texture, exact color and placement may vary slightly on the physical pocket.

    The customer is responsible for reviewing all spelling, numbers, dates and design details before approving the proof. Stitch & Ember is not responsible for errors approved by the customer.

  • Cancellations, Returns and Refunds

    Because this is a custom service:

    • Orders may be canceled before artwork preparation or production begins.
    • Artwork, digitizing or setup charges already incurred are nonrefundable.
    • Personalized orders cannot be returned or exchanged.
    • Orders cannot be canceled after embroidery has begun.
    • Shipping charges are nonrefundable.
    • Customer-submitted spelling or artwork errors are not eligible for complimentary replacement or refund.

    If Stitch & Ember makes an error that differs from the approved order, please contact us within three business days of delivery so the order can be reviewed.

Customer-Provided Item Policy

Golf bag pockets are customer-provided items. Stitch & Ember uses professional equipment, appropriate materials and reasonable care throughout the embroidery process. However, the exact composition, coatings, internal construction, age and previous condition of customer-provided items may not always be known.

By submitting a golf bag pocket for embroidery, the customer acknowledges that:

  • Replacement of the pocket or golf bag is not guaranteed if the material, coating, construction or previous wear reacts unexpectedly during embroidery.
  • Existing holes, stitch marks, fading or impressions from previous embroidery may remain visible.
  • Embroidery creates permanent needle penetrations in the material.
  • Water resistance or waterproofing may be affected within the embroidered area.
  • Certain materials may crease, mark, stretch, pucker or show hoop impressions.
  • Stitch & Ember may adjust the size or placement slightly to work safely around seams, zippers and hardware.
  • Stitch & Ember may decline any pocket that cannot be embroidered safely.
  • Normal production variation is not considered a defect.
  • Personalized services are nonrefundable once production has begun.

If Stitch & Ember causes direct, documented damage through an error in workmanship, any compensation will not exceed the amount paid for the embroidery service. Stitch & Ember does not guarantee replacement of the pocket or complete golf bag.
