Our Origin Story
Our founders Joe & James
It all started when two agency founders (that’s us) went golfing and by pure chance got paired with the CMO of Red Bull. One random tee time turned into a career-changing connection, and we thought, Why isn’t this always how it works?
Golf has always been where deals happen, but pairings are left to chance. We built Short Game to change that, matching business-minded players by handicap, industry, goals, and interests. No more guesswork or awkward meetups. Just access to the right people while you hit the links.
