Embrace the Bogey: The Story Behind Good 5 Golf

Embrace the Joy of the Game, Even When It's a Bogey

Golf is a sport of precision, patience, and endless pursuit of improvement. We all dream of birdies, but the reality? Sometimes it’s a bogey—and that’s okay. At Good 5 Golf, we celebrate those moments, because a bogey can still feel like a win.

It was on a sweltering, humid day in Florida that the idea for Good 5 Golf was born. Walking off the green after a hard-fought par 4, I tapped in for bogey, only to be met with a familiar nod of approval and the phrase, “Good 5.” It wasn’t the first time I heard it that day, nor was it the last. After about the seventh “Good 5,” I realized there was something special in that simple phrase.

While we strive for greatness on the course, many of us are “bogey golfers”—and you know what? That’s still great golf. There’s pride in knowing you gave it your best shot. And there’s joy in the camaraderie shared with friends who appreciate that effort.

The Inspiration Behind Good 5 Golf
Good 5 Golf is more than just apparel. It’s about embracing the joy of the game with grace, style, and comfort. We believe that every round, every hole, is an opportunity to enjoy the sport—whether you’re sinking birdies or scribbling down 5s on your scorecard. It’s not about perfection, it’s about the love of the game.

We are big fans of Bad Birdie Golf, GFore Golf, Bogey Bros Golf, and Good Good Golf—companies that have managed to bring fun and creativity into the game, while still respecting the traditions of golf. As two lifelong friends, we’ve always dreamed of creating something together that reflects our shared passion for the sport, and Good 5 Golf is our way of combining that love with a fresh take on golf apparel.

It’s Better Than a Double—It’s a Good 5!
Golf is as much about mental toughness as it is about skill, and sometimes, keeping a 5 off a challenging par 4 feels like a victory. At Good 5 Golf, we want to remind players that it's okay to accept those moments with a smile and look good doing it.

Our apparel is designed for those who accept the game’s challenges with style, comfort, and grace. So the next time you walk off the green with a 5, know that it’s something to be proud of. After all, it's better than a double—it's a Good 5.

Whether you’re a scratch golfer or happily sporting a 10-handicap, Good 5 Golf is for anyone who enjoys the game for what it is—a fun, challenging way to spend time outdoors with friends. We invite you to join us as we celebrate the bogey golfer with pride, style, and a little bit of humor. Because at the end of the day, a "Good 5" is still a good score.
