Why We Do This

Meet the Founders
Dawson Iungerman & John Pacitti
Co-Founders, Stiff Shaft Golf

This all started with two friends, one idea, and a relentless drive to prove everyone wrong.
We’ve been golfing together for over six years — sharing swings, bets, breakfast burritos, and the kind of honest trash talk only real friends can handle. Somewhere between the birdies and bogeys, we came up with a name that stuck: Stiff Shaft Golf.
It made us laugh — but more importantly, it made sense.
It was bold. Unfiltered. Unapologetic.
And we knew right away: we’re not just starting a golf brand. We’re starting a movement.

Why We Started This
We saw a gap in the game.
Brands were either too safe, too flashy, or didn’t speak to the golfers we know — the ones who shoot 74 one week and 89 the next. The ones who play hard, dress sharp, and don’t take themselves too seriously.
So we decided to build it ourselves:
A premium golf brand with edge, story, and substance.
Quality gear. Clean designs. Zero pretense.

For the 99% who said it wouldn’t work...
We’re not here to convince you.
We’re here to outlast you.
We didn’t raise millions.
We didn’t come from fashion.
We came from friendship, grind, and belief.
Every stitch, every shirt, every step forward is our answer to “you can’t.”

This is just the beginning.
We’re all in.
For ourselves. For each other. For every golfer who sees a bit of themselves in this brand.
Stiff Shaft Golf is for the ones who show up early, stay late, and believe in big swings — on and off the course.
Thanks for being part of the story.
