Our Story
Golf has played a pivotal role in the lives of our founders since they started caddying at their local club at 12 years old.
Many summers and hundreds of loops later, their hard work and passion for the game were rewarded exponentially when the Western Golf Association granted them each the Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship. With tuition and housing covered and the financial burden of college off of their family’s shoulders, Andrew and Jake were able to attend Northwestern University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where they both pursued engineering degrees.
