Off Course, Vol. 2 — Golf Brands Doing Non-Golf Things

9/15/26 Drops & Brands 24 Brands · 24 Things
A surfboard from Gumtree Golf and Nature Club, shaped by Almond in California

The first Off Course ran in July with eighteen things — coffee, candles, a cologne, a children’s book. This one is twenty-four, from twenty-four different brands, and the range has widened considerably. There is a $1,950 surfboard shaped in California, a ceramic planter made in Japan in 1962, a 250-page clothbound book in a clamshell case, and an $8 coaster.

One rule governs the list. The thing has to be made and sold by a golf brand, and it has to not be a golf product. Apparel is out, because a golf brand making a t-shirt is still a golf brand making apparel. Reselling is also out: three strong candidates were cut on review because the golf brand’s name was on the listing and somebody else’s was in the vendor field. Co-branded collaborations stay in and are labelled as such.

Prices and stock were read from each brand’s own product record on 9/15.

At Home

Nine objects that end up in a living room, and only one of them has a golf ball on it.

Mogshade
Eighteen Wool Poster · €340
Mogshade weaves these to order in one hundred per cent wool on an eight-week lead time, from a series it calls Loomed Rounds. Made with Soft Hands Club in two colourways, Blue and Earth.

Sand Valley × Ecudane
Ecudane Clubhouse Blanket · $160
A cashmere-blend throw woven with an illustration of the Sand Valley clubhouse — a drawing rather than a logo, which is the whole difference. Made by Ecudane and published 9/3, so it is about two weeks old.
Shop ↗
Whim Golf
La Cupola Paperweight · $149
Seven and a half pounds of hand-poured concrete and gypsum, five inches across, leather on the bottom, with a removable concrete flag set into a coffered dome. A scale model of the installation Whim built for Milan Design Week — edition of ten.
Shop ↗
Foray Golf
Vintage Sports Book Planter · $68
A ceramic planter made in Japan in 1962, shaped as a stack of four books spined Fishing, Hunting, Bowling and Golf. Foray is not manufacturing these; it is sourcing actual dated antiques and selling them one at a time, which almost nobody in this business does.

The Golfer's Journal
Quiet, Please · $185
Eleven by fourteen inches, 250 pages, Smyth-sewn and case-bound on gallery paper with inline spot gloss, in a clamshell case. Writing by Tom Coyne, photographs by Kohjiro Kinno and Christian Hafer.
Shop ↗
Fried Egg Golf
Cypress Point Closing Holes Poster · from $42
An illustrated overhead of Cypress Point’s closing stretch by William Eagar, on matte 200gsm stock shipped rolled in an archival sleeve, with framed and photo-paper configurations running to $587. Cypress Point permits no drones and no press, so a drawing is the only way this view exists as an object at all.
Shop ↗
Metalwood Studio
Putting Trainer Ceramic Ashtray · $72
Red glazed ceramic, shaped like a putting trainer, printed with “Put your butts in it / Put your balls in it / I don’t care.” The joke and the object are the same length.
Shop ↗
Pinehurst
Carolina Hotel 504-Piece Puzzle · $38
Sixteen by twenty inches, 504 pieces, reproducing an illustration of the Carolina Hotel. The listing carries no description whatsoever — the piece count is printed on the box and nowhere else.
Shop ↗
PXG
Darkness Coaster · $8
A five-inch silicone coaster carrying the Darkness skull. The 26 is the 26th Marine Regiment, which Bob Parsons served in at Khe Sanh — a great deal of weight for eight dollars.
Shop ↗

The Bar Cart

This is the drinking end of the category, and it runs in descending order of ceremony.

Sweetens Cove
5 Year Aged Tennessee Bourbon · $44.99
Seven hundred and fifty millilitres at 93.7 proof, the flagship of a spirits company named after a nine-hole course in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Backed by Peyton Manning and Andy Roddick, with blends built historically by Marianne Eaves.
Shop ↗
Bandon Dunes
Single Rock Glass · $25
Twelve ounces of handblown crystal with a golf-ball dimple pressed into the base, etched with one of seven course marks. The dimple is an impression in the glass rather than a print, so it only shows itself once you have finished the drink.
Shop ↗
Stitch Golf
Insulated Wine Tote · $118
Eight and a half by sixteen and a half inches, structured sides and base, neoprene-lined for two 750ml bottles in Stitch’s water- and stain-resistant Touring fabric. Five colourways; Steel Skies is down to five units.
Shop ↗
Golf Gods
Metal Insulated Koozie · A$20
Double-walled stainless, sized for a can or a bottle, at twenty Australian dollars. The cheapest object on this list after the coaster and arguably the most used.

In the Car

Two brands here make something for the drive rather than the round.

Bettinardi Golf
Milled License Plate Holder · $110 · almost gone
Cut from a single block of 6061 aluminium and anodised, carrying the same honeycomb face-milling pattern as the putters, on the same CNC machines in Tinley Park. Silver only — the black is gone — and it ships without screws.
Shop ↗
Birds of Condor
Neverfind Air Freshener · A$9.95
Seven by ten centimetres of citrus-scented card printed with a ball on a tee and the line “So fresh off the greens.” Three other designs exist at the same price.

Out of the House

Here the brief gets interesting. One of these is a surfboard and one of them is for a dog.

Gumtree Golf & Nature Club
Nature Club Single Fin Surfboard · $1,850–$1,950 · almost gone
Two boards, both handmade in California by Almond in opaque resin: a 7′6″ mid-length with a pintail and slight vee, and a 6′6″ on a narrower outline with a round tail and side-bites. Based on a model from founder Karsten’s own quiver, one of each colour, two of each left.
Shop ↗
Sugarloaf Social Club
Hidden Gem Crazy Creek Chair · $75
A packable ground-level camp chair, 16.5 inches at the seat, 23 to 25 ounces, rated to 250 pounds, in Sugarloaf’s Hidden Gem colourway. Crazy Creek has been making these in Montana since 1987.
Shop ↗
JBL × Cabot Saint Lucia
Clip 4 Waterproof Speaker · $75
A JBL Clip 4 — five watts, ten-hour battery, waterproof and dustproof, carabiner built into the body — wearing the Saint Lucia turtle rather than the corporate Cabot wordmark. Property-specific merch with actual restraint.
Shop ↗
Random Golf Club × Weatherman
Collapsible Umbrella — Royal Snowball · $79
An auto-open Weatherman umbrella on fibreglass ribs, carrying Random Golf Club’s Royal Snowball crest. The one item here you will use most often nowhere near a golf course.
Shop ↗
Rhoback
Performance Dog Bandanas · $26
Four-way-stretch moisture-wicking neckerchiefs printed to match Rhoback’s polos, which is an unusually committed piece of family dressing. Thirty-two patterns currently up, two of them marked down.

Packed

Four things that go in a bag, or are the bag.

VESSEL
Signature Garment Duffel · $279
A duffel that unzips flat into a garment bag with a hanger hook, rated for up to three suits, in five colourways. Solves the problem of a wedding and a tee time in the same weekend.
Shop ↗

Nine by seventeen by thirteen inches, 5.5 pounds, weather-resistant matte polyester, with a modular camera divider, a fleece-lined laptop sleeve, a removable wipeable shoe cube, MOLLE loops and a luggage pass-through. A camera bag first.

Offdaze Sunglasses · $168.71
Italian-made acetate on a custom multi-step hinge, with polarised, anti-smudge, fully coated lenses, cut smaller than the Sundaze. Currently marked down from $224.95, which will not last.

No Laying Up
Twill Stash Pouch · $70
Twill and leather, flat enough for a back pocket, holding roughly twenty pouches with a utility pocket behind. Made for No Laying Up by Spyhold, in navy or green.

The Questions

What counts as a golf brand doing a non-golf thing?

The object has to be made and sold by a golf brand and has to not be a golf product. Apparel does not count — a polo company making a t-shirt is still making apparel. Golf-shaped novelty does count as long as the object underneath is genuinely something else: an air freshener printed with a golf ball is an air freshener, while a divot tool shaped like anything at all is a divot tool.

Why were some products cut?

Three items were dropped because the golf brand was reselling rather than making. If a product carries a Shopify Collective tag or a third-party vendor with no evidence of design involvement, it is a storefront listing rather than something the brand made. A co-branded collaboration where the golf brand clearly drove the design is a different thing, and those are in and labelled.

Are the prices and stock current?

Every price and availability state here was read on 9/15/26 from the brand’s own product record, using variant availability flags rather than what a page says. Two of the twenty-four do not run on Shopify and expose no variant data, so their stock comes from the rendered page: the Metalwood ashtray and The Golfer’s Journal book.

Which of these will go first?

The Whim paperweight is an edition of ten, both Gumtree surfboards show two remaining, and Stitch’s Steel Skies wine tote is down to five. The Bettinardi plate holder is already half gone — the black sold out and only silver remains.

Does this repeat Volume One?

Two brands appear in both volumes with entirely different objects: Gumtree, which was coffee in July and is a surfboard here, and Whim, which was the Reebok collaboration and is now a concrete paperweight. No product repeats, and no brand appears twice within this list. Volume One is here.
