Ready to dive into the fascinating world where thrifting meets golf? This episode takes you behind the scenes with Thrifty Golf (Tyler), who transformed his pandemic hobby into a full-time vintage golf business on Whatnot.
Tyler's journey begins like many others in 2020—a COVID golfer hunting for decent clubs who accidentally discovered a business opportunity when reselling testing equipment. What makes his story compelling isn't just the business success, but his genuine passion for breathing new life into forgotten golf treasures. "I have this passion for taking the really old stuff that nobody thinks is any good and re-gripping it, cleaning it, and making it shine again," he shares.
We explore the unique appeal of vintage golf gear in a world dominated by mass production. There's something special about owning a piece no one else has—whether it's a Desert Inn hat from Vegas or a Cleveland banger putter soaking in vinegar in Tyler's backyard. For Tyler, the hunt is as rewarding as the find: "I love having people that I can shop for... having that purpose makes sourcing really fun."
The conversation takes fascinating turns through the evolution of golf fashion (those crazy patterns everyone loves now? They're revolutionizing what was once a stuffy, solid-color world), the future of live shopping as retail's next frontier, and the delicate balance between golf tradition and modern accessibility.
Whether you're a vintage enthusiast, a whatnot seller/buyer, or simply curious about how passion projects become full-time gigs, Tyler's insights reveal why golf treasures from yesterday find such resonance with players today.

00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.665

00:00:54.149 --> 00:00:55.744
It's been a while since I've been in control.
00:00:55.744 --> 00:00:59.185
How are you guys doing, dan Jeremy, how are you living this evening?
00:00:59.185 --> 00:01:01.490

00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:07.144
He's a banger, if you will.
00:01:07.144 --> 00:01:09.912
Thrifty Golf.
00:01:09.912 --> 00:01:15.067
Thrifty Golf from Whatnot, and we've been talking a lot of Whatnot lately.
00:01:15.067 --> 00:01:17.284
I heard a little bit of it.
00:01:17.284 --> 00:01:19.965
Yeah yeah, welcome to the show, bro.
00:01:19.965 --> 00:01:26.269
Why don't you introduce yourself, tell us what you do and anything.
00:01:27.052 --> 00:01:29.540
So, yeah, so I go by thrifty.
00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.628
My real name is Tyler, but most people call me thrifty.
00:01:32.628 --> 00:01:36.388
It's kind of weird in this world for people to call me anything besides thrifty.
00:01:36.388 --> 00:01:40.180
So thrifty is okay for you guys to totally will respond to.
00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:40.802
It's all good.
00:01:40.802 --> 00:01:52.391
So I own a small business in maryland um, just buying and reselling golf equipment, golf items, hats, apparel, other anything really golf related.
00:01:52.391 --> 00:02:02.701
Um, I started doing it right around covid and did it kind of more as a side hustle at the time, a little something extra for my family.
00:02:02.701 --> 00:02:05.090
It was always what you I would joke with my wife.
00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:06.581
It paid for the vacations.
00:02:06.581 --> 00:02:07.704
So that was a good thing.
00:02:07.704 --> 00:02:13.883
And as time went on, it kind of grew and grew a little bit more and more.
00:02:13.883 --> 00:02:26.674
I started an Instagram account to kind of document my finds from a recommendation of a friend another whatnot guy currently uh, hit him for golf.
00:02:26.674 --> 00:02:29.330
He said man, you find a lot of cool stuff.
00:02:29.330 --> 00:02:30.395
You probably should start an.
00:02:30.455 --> 00:02:31.699
Instagram and document it.
00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:34.907
And I was like, ah, I'm not really social media guy.
00:02:34.948 --> 00:02:37.293
Like that so I started doing it.
00:02:38.360 --> 00:03:00.645
Um, and it was a really good thing that I did, because shortly after, whatnot was trying to start and grow the golf category and they were kind of going around to different people that seemed like they did what I did and what others did, where we went around finding golf stuff and we were reselling it, and so that'll be July.
00:03:00.645 --> 00:03:07.109
This July two years ago that they did that Asked me if I wanted to join.
00:03:07.109 --> 00:03:15.603
Didn't really know how it would go, how I would do.
00:03:15.603 --> 00:03:17.471
Would I like selling things live to people talking to a camera, like what would that be like?
00:03:17.471 --> 00:03:19.659
Um, I was already familiar with whatnot before.
00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:22.324
If I'm talking too much at any point too, just just tell me.
00:03:22.604 --> 00:03:23.004
No, no.
00:03:23.004 --> 00:03:24.768
The ads on Instagram.
00:03:24.768 --> 00:03:37.393
I knew of whatnot because of the ads of Instagram, yeah, but before we go that deep into it, I would like to understand your golf journey and why is it?
00:03:37.393 --> 00:03:38.794
Golf yeah.
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.889
So it's kind of like, actually, as it relates to golf.
00:03:44.889 --> 00:03:46.292
I started playing.
00:03:46.292 --> 00:03:48.563
I don't really have much experience playing golf.
00:03:48.563 --> 00:03:51.875
I started playing golf, uh, when covet hit.
00:03:51.875 --> 00:03:54.843
It was always one of those things that I had always kind of meant to do.
00:03:54.843 --> 00:03:57.050
I just never really got around to doing it.
00:03:57.050 --> 00:04:05.508
I thought, man, it would be really cool to learn how to play golf and be competent enough that you could go out for a work thing or with the guys.
00:04:05.508 --> 00:04:10.311
You wouldn't be a total disaster, wouldn't be, you know, holding everybody up.
00:04:10.311 --> 00:04:14.187
It would just be nice to know enough to be able to go out and be competent.
00:04:14.187 --> 00:04:15.069
That was always my thing.
00:04:15.591 --> 00:04:29.043
And then covid happened and naturally, like myself and so many other people, um, I bought the stupid junkie starter set from dicks and got some lessons from a buddy of mine who played golf in college.
00:04:29.043 --> 00:04:35.084
Um, and you know, he taught me a few things and I'm not good, wasn't then still not.
00:04:35.084 --> 00:04:40.641
But I fell in love with it and became addicted to just going to the range and hitting balls.
00:04:40.641 --> 00:04:50.165
Um, and I really just started this piece to the journey because I didn't really know what type of clubs I liked to use personally.
00:04:50.165 --> 00:04:54.314
So I had watched, you know, youtube Stacked Golf.
00:04:55.139 --> 00:05:03.947
Other people were doing the same thing and really at the time Stacked's main motto was like you can play golf for a reasonable amount of money.
00:05:03.947 --> 00:05:05.812
I have a background as a thrifter.
00:05:05.812 --> 00:05:08.769
I can talk more about that, you know, if we want to get into that too.
00:05:08.769 --> 00:05:15.569
But yeah, um, you know, I essentially was just buying sets of irons and taking them to the driving range.
00:05:15.569 --> 00:05:17.392
I'd hit them, see if I liked them.
00:05:17.392 --> 00:05:21.509
And then the first couple times I was like, well, maybe I'll try something else.
00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:28.694
And then I went to resell them on facebook and I made money each time and I was like right, okay, this is kind of cool, like what's going on here.
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:35.759
This is, this is crazy, and they would sell like immediately and I'd have some background reselling on eBay and other places.
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.045
So I was like man, maybe I could like expand this a little bit.
00:05:39.045 --> 00:05:43.915
You know, not quite to the extent that it is now, I never would have guessed, you know.
00:05:43.915 --> 00:06:05.291
Um, so that's kind of how golf started for me and I just kind of fell in love with like the equipment and the clubs and I have this passion for like taking the really old stuff that nobody thinks is any good and kind of re-gripping it and cleaning it and making it yeah yeah, I forgot about the wedge.
00:06:05.331 --> 00:06:07.423
I'm soaking in vinegar in the backyard currently.
00:06:07.423 --> 00:06:09.408
Uh, I probably should go scrub that.
00:06:09.408 --> 00:06:15.404
But, um, I mean for us here at chasing daylight podcast, we are like certified golf nerds.
00:06:15.404 --> 00:06:22.065
We love the game, we love the history, we love playing, we love, uh, all aspects.
00:06:22.065 --> 00:06:23.127
We love the tour.
00:06:23.127 --> 00:06:42.050
We talk shit about Liv occasionally, but you know, we love everything golf and I mean I'm a huge architecture nerd and we are big guys that you know.
00:06:42.071 --> 00:07:10.386
With 2020 COVID coming over, you lot, of, a lot of guys don't know about the intricacies of the game and you found your way and, like, I've watched your show many times and uh, like, learning about shafts there's, you can go so far down the rabbit hole with the game right torque, uh kick point, uh grips, you do such a good job and I I'm actually kind of surprised that you're a 2020 covid golfer.
00:07:10.386 --> 00:07:25.377
Um, yeah, you know, but you do such a great job, but, um, so you don't really play all that much, huh no, don't really have the time to like until I just I just started doing this full time in April.
00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:36.689
Actually, I was working a full time job for the state government for the past seven years prior Um, and I was just trying to do this part time as a side hustle.
00:07:36.689 --> 00:07:41.824
I was literally like killing myself, trying to make things both things work really well.
00:07:41.824 --> 00:07:45.805
Um, I was like sleeping three hours a night and stuff.
00:07:45.805 --> 00:07:57.649
So, because I try to put 110% into everything that I do, including this, and then you know, it kind of made sense, we got to a point where it all kind of made sense.
00:07:57.649 --> 00:07:59.172
Yeah, sorry.
00:07:59.351 --> 00:08:01.362
I just I saw the little comment pop up.
00:08:01.362 --> 00:08:04.750
There's the Cleveland Vast fast vintage banger um.
00:08:05.630 --> 00:08:10.910
I'm so used to talking with the chat I know, I know well, we're the, we're the homies, we're the homies now.
00:08:10.930 --> 00:08:12.901
So you're the ones have to listen to me.
00:08:12.901 --> 00:08:15.547
Um, what was I saying?
00:08:15.586 --> 00:08:25.872
I'm sorry I I spaced out oh yeah so yeah, so we uh, I talked with my wife, we figured it out and and uh, yeah, so doing this full-time now.
00:08:25.872 --> 00:08:43.852
My hope is that at some point you know, right now I'm in like an expansion phase of my business I'm trying to scale more to the point where it makes sense that this is a full-time thing and with that I'm getting myself to the point where I'm stretching myself too thin again just doing this one business.
00:08:43.852 --> 00:08:46.442
So I'm going to have to hire people to help me.
00:08:46.442 --> 00:08:54.828
I'm eventually going to have to expand my space, all that sort of thing, and the hope is that one day, yes, I do have more time to play golf.
00:08:54.828 --> 00:08:57.721
Yes, I do hope that, because I do love it and enjoy it.
00:08:57.782 --> 00:09:05.273
It's just right now I just don't have the time to prioritize playing as a thing, so yeah, yeah, that's really interesting, right.
00:09:05.312 --> 00:09:11.630
So you come from the aspect of not playing golf very often and then going into the golf space on whatnot.
00:09:11.630 --> 00:09:13.703
I come from like a golf background.
00:09:13.703 --> 00:09:16.413
I had my own, I had hitting greens brand.
00:09:16.413 --> 00:09:18.539
I mean, how long have I been doing?
00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:19.642
Three years, you know.
00:09:19.642 --> 00:09:20.283
I had shirts.
00:09:20.283 --> 00:09:23.208
I did limited drops more than that probably right.
00:09:23.288 --> 00:09:30.269
So it's like it's very interesting, like the, the scope of things, like a lot of sellers are coming to the app.
00:09:30.269 --> 00:09:36.235
They don't know their stuff but then they, they sell what's in their garage and they don't have a brand yet.
00:09:36.235 --> 00:09:39.104
And I'm thankful that I have a brand currently.
00:09:39.104 --> 00:09:45.667
But the the reason I started is because I was grilling some steaks in the backyard and I was watching a guy I didn't like.
00:09:45.667 --> 00:09:48.620
I was like I'm going in the garage and I'm selling the stuff that I have in there.
00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:51.326
I don't give a fuck, you know, and it's not easy.
00:09:51.326 --> 00:09:52.490
It's not easy.
00:09:52.490 --> 00:09:54.480
And respect to all to you.
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.426
You just hit a huge milestone Uh, 25 K followers.
00:09:58.426 --> 00:10:01.870
Uh left your day job and it's not easy.
00:10:01.870 --> 00:10:03.131
It really is not easy.
00:10:03.131 --> 00:10:07.381
And the guys that have come over to watch me, they've said that.
00:10:07.381 --> 00:10:10.942
They said I don't know how you do that by yourself, so you're doing it by yourself.
00:10:10.942 --> 00:10:12.345
It's a lot of juggling for sure.
00:10:12.384 --> 00:10:13.067
Yeah, it's, it's.
00:10:13.067 --> 00:10:18.465
You have to be able to multitask when you run the shows, and if you're not used to doing it, you know.
00:10:18.465 --> 00:10:21.269
I've done it for two years, so I know very well.
00:10:21.269 --> 00:10:23.331
I know the intricacies of how things work.
00:10:23.331 --> 00:10:30.307
There's jokes about me knowing how certain features work and other guys will never touch them.
00:10:33.326 --> 00:10:34.349
The pinned pin joint.
00:10:37.269 --> 00:10:40.248
I feel like I've gotten it nailed down and others will not even touch it.
00:10:40.248 --> 00:10:43.552
It's tough.
00:10:43.552 --> 00:10:44.522
It for sure is tough.
00:10:44.522 --> 00:10:48.292
I've had a lot of people say the same, where they're like I don't know how you do all that all at the same time.
00:10:48.292 --> 00:10:52.187
Um, it's not easy, man, a lot so it's not easy.
00:10:52.287 --> 00:10:53.791
Where does your so like?
00:10:53.791 --> 00:10:58.962
Where did your knowledge of the vintage area of golf come from?
00:10:58.962 --> 00:11:01.605
Because I mean, you are a vintage guy.
00:11:01.605 --> 00:11:10.855
Like I spent way too much money on this hat but I rock it with the ultimate pride because it's Vegas, the Desert Inn hat.
00:11:10.855 --> 00:11:13.484
But where does that come from?
00:11:13.484 --> 00:11:14.908
It's so good.
00:11:15.210 --> 00:11:15.530
I love it.
00:11:15.530 --> 00:11:21.211
So I actually have been thrifting vintage since the early 2000s.
00:11:21.211 --> 00:11:22.113
Before it was cool.
00:11:22.113 --> 00:11:29.527
My wife and I in high school would go thrifting and man, the thrifting world was so different back then you could go.
00:11:29.527 --> 00:11:38.740
I just remember going to we had like a little stretch of stores that we would hit by me and you'd spend the whole day thrifting.
00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:43.307
Come home with a trash bag for 15, 20 bucks.
00:11:43.307 --> 00:12:00.193
In the trash bag bag I mean a billion t-shirts loaded up in that thing and you 'd be lucky these days to get a few t-shirts for that, just because thrifting is so huge now um, but I've been by the pound, by the pound back then, oh man it was, yeah, 25 cents, 50 cents a t-shirt and stuff.
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:13.196
But you know, we used to, we used to do it because i't know, we didn't know all the lingo of all of the vintage guys that you know that there is now, with the single stitch and the made in USA tags and all that sort of thing?
00:12:13.581 --> 00:12:14.825
Yeah, I didn't know any of that stuff.
00:12:15.928 --> 00:12:21.985
At the time we just knew that we liked the old 80s t-shirts because they were super soft and super thin and that's what we would always look for.
00:12:21.985 --> 00:12:29.027
So like over time that's always kind of been a part of me is going thrifting, looking for cool stuff.
00:12:29.027 --> 00:12:45.533
I love the uniqueness of thrifting for vintage because I'm not in I'm personally not into like having tons and tons of like mass produced stuff because same everybody else can have it right like I could have the same and not to.
00:12:45.533 --> 00:12:50.191
I don't want to get into any particular brands, but you know any big golf manufacturer.
00:12:50.191 --> 00:12:51.823
I buy a hat from them today.
00:12:51.823 --> 00:12:57.085
I could go tomorrow and see somebody in the street or at the golf course has the same exact one I'm wearing.
00:12:57.085 --> 00:13:05.625
But if I find that hat that joe's wearing right now, what are the chances that somebody else in the world has that same exact hat on right now?
00:13:05.866 --> 00:13:07.089
Probably pretty slim.
00:13:07.208 --> 00:13:11.604
So the uniqueness of that is the thing that draws me to it and I love it.
00:13:11.604 --> 00:13:20.500
I love it so much Just knowing that you have something that could be potentially unique to you, because all the other ones may be burned up in a fire, got thrown away in the trash or whatever.
00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:21.442
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:21.722 --> 00:13:24.847
It's just so cool and and you bring.
00:13:24.967 --> 00:13:30.120
You bring so many pieces from years ago back to life.
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.222
You know what I mean.
00:13:31.222 --> 00:13:51.092
Like this is probably from what I mean, I don't know the years 90s, but it was probably sitting in somebody's like closet, you know and they just, they played the round out there, they bought something and uh, it was sitting in grandpa's closet, you know, and they just, they played the round out there, they bought something and uh, it was sitting in grandpa's closet, you know, and probably dusty or who knows.
00:13:51.092 --> 00:13:52.443
But you bring it back to life too.
00:13:52.443 --> 00:13:55.051
That's also a skill in its own right, you know what I mean.
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.101
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:56.101 --> 00:14:00.700
So I learned, um, there's one particular guy that's a vintage guy in Wisconsin.
00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:02.403
His name's bread boys vintage.
00:14:02.403 --> 00:14:22.456
He's really big into vintage hats and he was on Whatnot and so I kind of started buying and selling hats a little bit right before that and I watched his show and the guy was like so knowledgeable about hats in general, not just golf hats, and I was just like fascinated by how much knowledge he had.
00:14:22.456 --> 00:14:23.821
So I kind of befriended him.
00:14:23.941 --> 00:14:25.404
I watched every show he did.
00:14:25.404 --> 00:14:28.754
I messaged him, talked with him on instagram.
00:14:28.754 --> 00:14:38.470
I asked if he would give me a tutorial on how to clean hats, like really well, because he knew so much about how to clean them properly without damaging them and all that kind of stuff.
00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:41.621
And so I just became like his student and learned.
00:14:41.621 --> 00:14:46.763
He just absorbed everything I could about the vintage hats and he wasn't necessarily golf.
00:14:46.763 --> 00:14:55.509
I mean I kind of was able to meld his knowledge of just vintage hats in general with, like the vintage golf hat market and kind of combine the two.
00:14:55.509 --> 00:15:01.789
And then it kind of turned into this thing that I did and I was a part of after that.
00:15:01.789 --> 00:15:13.183
But yeah, I mean credit to him because a lot of what I know when it comes to, you know, cleaning and reshaping and making, bringing them back to life, as you said was a lot of just learning from him.
00:15:14.426 --> 00:15:21.905
So I'm I'm curious to hear what you think about, like the new wave of golf clothing.
00:15:21.905 --> 00:15:24.871
Like Marco, like obviously loves students.
00:15:24.871 --> 00:15:27.201
You said the word students, which made me think of this.
00:15:27.201 --> 00:15:29.506
Yeah, you know, students malbon like.
00:15:29.506 --> 00:15:32.421
How do you feel about the up-and-comers right?
00:15:32.421 --> 00:15:34.686
Because I'm one of them I'm one of them.
00:15:35.006 --> 00:15:35.467
I love it.
00:15:35.467 --> 00:15:36.971
Yeah, personally I love it.
00:15:36.971 --> 00:15:39.001
So I'll talk about what first.
00:15:39.001 --> 00:15:41.688
We just talked about hats, so let's talk about hats for a second.
00:15:41.850 --> 00:15:48.674
Yeah, the thing that drives me crazy about the modern day hats is that everybody is so into them right now.
00:15:48.674 --> 00:15:55.479
What they don't realize is, essentially every one of the hats that we're all wearing is the same exact style as a vintage hat.
00:15:55.479 --> 00:15:55.740
Right?
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:58.791
They all have ropes, they all have high crowns.
00:15:58.791 --> 00:16:01.039
The only difference is that they have snapbacks.
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:07.479
Otherwise, because you're the one you're wearing right now has a leather strap, and that's how they made the majority of them well, it's also cardboard too here.
00:16:07.499 --> 00:16:16.273
Yeah, cardboard brim right because that, yeah, you have to be careful with the cardboard brims, but for the most part, the overall style of the hat is literally a vintage hat.
00:16:16.273 --> 00:16:19.662
It's the same thing, except for whatever is on the front.
00:16:19.662 --> 00:16:21.745
The rest of the style of the hat's the same.
00:16:21.745 --> 00:16:23.869
Um, so it's.
00:16:23.869 --> 00:16:32.546
It's just just funny to me how so many of the guys are just so into like, oh, I would never wear a vintage hat, but meanwhile you're going to wear something that has a huge high front crown and a rope.
00:16:32.546 --> 00:16:33.347
It's the same thing.
00:16:34.490 --> 00:16:36.472
Hat change, hat change yeah, there you go.
00:16:36.472 --> 00:16:37.094
Another vintage.
00:16:37.094 --> 00:16:40.883
I love again.
00:16:40.883 --> 00:16:43.828
I love the style of all Malabon.
00:16:43.828 --> 00:16:50.190
I love you know Jason day going out there, kind of bringing some uniqueness to golf.
00:16:50.190 --> 00:16:53.158
Yeah, absolutely I love that.
00:16:53.158 --> 00:16:58.380
We're kind of getting away from the stuffiness and guys are wearing performance hoodies and stuff like that more often.
00:16:58.380 --> 00:16:59.363
I think it's really cool.
00:16:59.363 --> 00:17:05.628
Um, and yeah, I mean I just anything that like we're stepping out of the box with the fashion in golf, I love it.
00:17:05.628 --> 00:17:05.810
I think it's great.
00:17:05.810 --> 00:17:08.815
I mean I just anything that like we're stepping out of the box with the fashion in golf, I love it.
00:17:08.815 --> 00:17:09.460
I think it's great.
00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:26.018
I mean I've again because some of that, uh, I don't know if you would call Malbon streetwear golf or how you would describe that, but like some, some of that style of clothing in the golf space right now is modeled after vintage.
00:17:26.018 --> 00:17:28.708
Like you don't have to totally twice to do it.
00:17:28.827 --> 00:17:30.574
You know I think it's great, absolutely.
00:17:30.574 --> 00:17:43.573
It's so interesting how golf has changed since the onslaught of the covid game, right, like it's changed so much in five years.
00:17:43.573 --> 00:17:46.076
You know golf is now cool.
00:17:46.076 --> 00:17:47.361
It wasn't.
00:17:47.361 --> 00:17:52.042
I mean, it wasn't cool, it was stuffy, and you know I still have.
00:17:52.042 --> 00:18:09.250
You know I played a little bit as a kid but you know I remember, you know it's like I took a shirt in, but now people are like it's so different and I think it's because of the influx of players, such as yourself, from 2020, and the game has grown a lot.
00:18:09.250 --> 00:18:13.811
We are here on Chase and Daylight Podcast.
00:18:13.811 --> 00:18:18.109
We love growing the game right, but we love growing the game correctly.
00:18:18.109 --> 00:18:29.674
I think what's missing in the game is people aren't teached the proper etiquette the fixing ball marks, filling your divots, raking your bunkers and that's.
00:18:29.674 --> 00:18:41.163
We've seen that in Vegas a lot and, uh, I just wish somebody would like take hold and, like you know what I mean Teach them the right way.
00:18:42.788 --> 00:19:00.645
Yeah, no, I feel, yeah, Um, there is something to being able to go out with some, some you don't want to just start playing golf with all newbies, right, you want to have some experience, experience people with you when you are first go out, and that was always my thing, like I'm very much into.
00:19:00.645 --> 00:19:14.669
Like when I first wanted to learn how to play, I told my friend I was like I want to just go right to you before I even swing a club because I want to know, like I want to be a clean slate.
00:19:14.849 --> 00:19:18.786
I want to not have any, have any bad habits or mistakes or whatever.
00:19:18.786 --> 00:19:23.724
But I also was always kind of like afraid to go play around because of the etiquette of golf.
00:19:23.724 --> 00:19:26.269
Like I wanted to make sure I was doing things the right way.
00:19:26.269 --> 00:19:35.332
And I don't, I know not everybody always thinks about that, but for me, like, making sure I do things the right way is always just part of my life.
00:19:35.332 --> 00:19:38.670
So I kind of always wanted to make sure that I was doing that.
00:19:38.670 --> 00:19:43.804
So it was important to me to be with other people that understood what doing the right thing meant.
00:19:44.724 --> 00:19:58.332
And I think that shows in your essence of what you sell, right Like I've never seen you sell anything Bad Birdie, or maybe I have, I have.
00:19:58.392 --> 00:19:58.731
Yeah.
00:20:00.862 --> 00:20:17.246
But it's like that is, and that's kind of weird, right, like the stereotypes of what people wear on the golf course, like Bad Birdie is associated with drinking and being crazy on the golf course, and that's what I love Great patterns, right.
00:20:17.246 --> 00:20:19.969
But it's also it's changed so much.
00:20:19.969 --> 00:20:23.653
And now you're, I saw a polo at Walmart the other day.
00:20:23.653 --> 00:20:24.375
It was on clearance.
00:20:24.375 --> 00:20:26.944
It looked exactly like a bad birdie t-shirt.
00:20:26.944 --> 00:20:27.868
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
00:20:27.868 --> 00:20:32.644
And it's like people are trying to come into the game or the golf market.
00:20:32.723 --> 00:20:44.965
Now, yeah, and changing up the whole thing, it's just wow, yeah, we, I've talked with a couple griff golf 304, my buddy he's yeah, griff's, he's an OG on the app on whatnot.
00:20:44.965 --> 00:20:46.768
He's one of the first guys to be on there.
00:20:46.768 --> 00:20:51.853
He was selling when there wasn't even a golf category, he was just selling in sporting goods.
00:20:51.853 --> 00:20:56.356
So he was kind of like a trailblazer for golf Sweet On whatnot.
00:20:56.356 --> 00:21:00.560
But he's a big.
00:21:00.560 --> 00:21:01.382
I would say that he's a bougie shirt guy.
00:21:01.403 --> 00:21:14.634
And something we've talked about a lot recently is the fact that so many of these I would say not as desirable brands like walter hagins- yeah, yeah um what?
00:00:40.496 --> 00:00:41.296
00:00:41.296 --> 00:00:45.679
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.665
00:00:47.665 --> 00:00:54.149
00:00:54.149 --> 00:00:55.744
00:00:55.744 --> 00:00:59.185
00:00:59.185 --> 00:01:01.490
00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.709
00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:07.144
00:01:07.144 --> 00:01:09.912
00:01:09.912 --> 00:01:15.067
00:01:15.067 --> 00:01:17.284
00:01:17.284 --> 00:01:19.965
00:01:19.965 --> 00:01:26.269
00:01:27.052 --> 00:01:29.540
00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.628
00:01:32.628 --> 00:01:36.388
00:01:36.388 --> 00:01:40.180
00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:40.802
00:01:40.802 --> 00:01:52.391
00:01:52.391 --> 00:02:02.701
00:02:02.701 --> 00:02:05.090
00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:06.581
00:02:06.581 --> 00:02:07.704
00:02:07.704 --> 00:02:13.883
00:02:13.883 --> 00:02:26.674
00:02:26.674 --> 00:02:29.330
00:02:29.330 --> 00:02:30.395
00:02:30.455 --> 00:02:31.699
00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:34.907
00:02:34.948 --> 00:02:37.293
00:02:38.360 --> 00:03:00.645
00:03:00.645 --> 00:03:07.109
00:03:07.109 --> 00:03:15.603
00:03:15.603 --> 00:03:17.471
00:03:17.471 --> 00:03:19.659
00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:22.324
00:03:22.604 --> 00:03:23.004
00:03:23.004 --> 00:03:24.768
00:03:24.768 --> 00:03:37.393
00:03:37.393 --> 00:03:38.794
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.889
00:03:44.889 --> 00:03:46.292
00:03:46.292 --> 00:03:48.563
00:03:48.563 --> 00:03:51.875
00:03:51.875 --> 00:03:54.843
00:03:54.843 --> 00:03:57.050
00:03:57.050 --> 00:04:05.508
