Who's This Guy?

That’s the Breakfast Ball Dad, your unofficial golf buddy. He’s not a scratch golfer, he’s not trying to be. He’s the guy who takes the mulligan on the first tee, laughs it off, and still somehow shoots better than you’d expect.

He tests the gear, plays the courses, and tells you straight whether either one is worth your Saturday morning.

My son loves spooky season, so the Buff Bo Trick or Tee was an easy pick. Great design, great fit, and it’s a golf shirt my wife loves too. Turns out golf apparel is a lot easier to buy when it’s not just for me.

Fast rounds, a good bar, and a pro shop full of good people keep this in regular rotation. Just budget for non-resident rates and don’t expect tour-quality greens.

Golf Ball Marker Display

I’m a sucker for course memorabilia, and a ball marker is the easiest souvenir there is. My original display got discontinued on Etsy, so I hunted down a solid replacement. Holds both magnetic and poker chip markers, comes ready to hang, and you can personalize it.

Probably my favorite course in Chicagoland right now, and I only just found it. Kind of annoyed at myself honestly. I’ve lived in the south suburbs for almost five years and somehow missed this place the whole time.
