Golf has a gatekeeping problem.
The sport tells you that you need 14 clubs, lessons, the right shoes, and a four-hour window just to go play. That keeps a lot of people out. We think there's a better way.
Golf wasn't supposed to be this complicated.
It's hitting a ball into a hole. That's it. But somewhere along the way, the sport got buried under gear, rules, dress codes, and an unspoken message: you're not ready yet.
The result? People who'd love the game never start. People who try it once feel overwhelmed and don't come back. And people who do play spend more time worrying about their setup than enjoying the round.
That's changing.
More people are playing golf right now than at any point in decades, and they're not doing it the traditional way. They're choosing golf the way you'd choose a hike or a bike ride. Something to do outside. Low-key. No pressure. Just a good time.
Beginners are flooding the sport. Women are the fastest-growing group in the game. Younger players are choosing golf as a way to disconnect, get outside, and do something that doesn't feel like a competition.
Social media is full of public course vlogs, beginner progress posts, and casual rounds that look nothing like the country club stereotype. Golf is becoming what it probably should have been all along.
One club golf is the purest version of that shift.
Pick up one club. Walk out to the course. Play. No bag full of clubs you don't know how to use. No anxiety about which iron to pull. No expensive gear standing between you and the first tee.
Just you, one club, and the game.
It's simpler than you think. And it's more fun than you'd expect.
Here's how it works.
Pick your club.
Most people grab a 7-iron. It's versatile, forgiving, and easy to hit. But any iron works. Choose the one that feels right.
Pack light.
A few balls, some tees, and a waist bag. That's your entire setup.
Go play.
Tee off, chip, and putt, all with one club. Par 3 courses are perfect for this. Nine holes. An hour. Done.
