My opinion, obviously biased by my distaste for dark inlays, is that the white chip will never be mistaken for a golf ball, with a big black inlay in the middle of it.
Crazy idea here, but since they’re ceramics, why not make the shite chip look exactly like a golf ball? Drop the fake inlay entirely - cover it with dimples, and stick a Titelist $1 (or whatever) in the middle.

Love this. I have put 0 thought into the inlay as of now. It's black because the editable illustrator file has them as black inlays. I love that idea of making the chip exactly like a golf ball.
I like the blues better.
What if you did green as a $2 chip, go heavy on the $2 and light on the $1, put the $2 chips in play and only a few $1s for change.
Could do a blue 5, and the black 100.

It’s the sort of thing that ceramic is uniquely capable of, and the sort of thing people don’t do enough, in my opinion.
Good luck with it, whichever way you go.

Took me a minute to realize this was a typo...
Thought you just really hated that chip!+1 for the white chip golf ball idea.
My other 2 cents, I don't love the black chip with the 4 colors, I prefer the blue only because of the theme. I think you gotta have a beautiful blue chip to represent the water and the sky on the course.
Absolutely loving how it looks right now
swapped out the 'stick edge' colour for red to match the denomination text. Probably gonna leave all the blue colours for the blue hundo.

You could probably throw in a red chip to represent a flag stick, and a grey one to represent an iron.
Would love to see the dealer button being a golf ball, with Dealer across the middle in the Titleist style (tough to replicate, however, as it's not a typeface, rather the handwriting of one of the secretaries at Acushnet when it was first set up).

Update on golf dollar:
I've enlarged the golf ball to the whole chip, I think that's what the original suggestion meant. Would love to know which one people prefer.
I personally am leaning to the one on the right side. I'm liking the cleanness and crispness of the text popping off an actual chip. It just risks looking weird next to the other chips.
Edit: How it sits next to the other chips

You gotta think outside of the box when doing ceramics. All this slavish replication of clay edge spots has just gone too far.

The golf ball looks cool. I've had a similar idea before and like what you created. Maybe see if you can recreate the other textures to fit the theme? Grass, sand, water?

So right.
A lot of possibilities allowing for creativity, especially seeing your golf ball design

Listen to @allforcharity and @BruceWayne... your golf ball chip is how you should approach all of your chips. Ditch the traditional clay spots and allow your creative juices to flow as I have a feeling this set could be truly epic. For example, you could leave the black "inlay" on the green chip and that could represent the cup. Remove the clay spots and put some putting green texture on it.
Yeah, I'm slowly catching onto that now. It's just that the illustrator files I got for the cards mold template had these edgespots designs and that's a starting point for me. Appreciate the feedback tho
Love this idea, cheers.
I think the play here is to create a set just with different coloured golf ball chips on a plain mold ceramic: white $1, yellow $5 etc. Would be a truly unique set.
Hmm that could be one approach but I feel the idea of the lowest denomination being the golf ball and the rest of the chips being the landscape (green = putting green, orange = bunker/rough, blue = water) has a nice touch to it.

What if for the green chip, you do a zoomed in texture of putting green grass with a cup and the denom sunk like a ball in the hole?

LOVE the full golf ball chip on the right!

@Pinsol is a great guy. Pay no attention to my quoted text. This is what he is responding too.

for water... maybe do a golf ball at the bottom of a pond or something... on the golf ball the denom.

for sand... you can do the soft trail or golf ball imprint with the denom like these:
OR.... the "divot" a club makes after impact with the denom at the top of that

Yeah, that’s the shit brother. I wasn’t going to poop on your parade when you went halfway, and made just inlay look like this. But now that you’ve seen the light, please accept my applause - this execution is stunning. I have no idea what you should do with the rest of this set, but if you don’t build a set with these as the $1s, we will never speak again.

Hey if it isn't black. Also A lot more GREEN in golf than WHITE. I don't want the $5 white. That would be gross.
So I tried doing that. Came up with 2 variations. The one on the right has 2 types of grass, making sense logically from fairway grass to putting green. But I'm thinking it might look weird with the fairway grass all the way around the chip, so the left hand side chip has just a solid green to match the edge colour.
How it sits next to the golf dollar.
