The Carolina is an ode to the place that made golf possible for me.

I moved from New Jersey to South Carolina when I was ten years old, and the game opened up in a way I had never seen before. Golf in South Carolina was not just about private clubs or expensive lessons. There were programs in place that let kids play. Juniors play free. A deeply developed junior golf association. High school golf teams you could try out for as early as seventh grade. A longer season. More affordable tee times. More chances to be on the course.

I grew up playing in the South Carolina Junior Golf Association and throughout the CGA. That access mattered. My parents did not have endless resources to pour into golf, but South Carolina gave me something just as valuable. Opportunity. It gave me reps. It gave me competition. It gave me time. That is where I learned how to play, how to compete, and how to carry myself in the game. It is where I spent the majority of my life in golf.

This hat pulls from that foundation. White cotton with Carolina blue, navy, and light blue. Simple and familiar, like the courses and summers that shaped me. The Feel Golf patch is a nod to the places that quietly invest in juniors and change lives without asking for much in return.

The Carolina is about access. About opportunity. About what can happen when the game is made available to the people who want it most.
