About Par & Sole

Golf Has a Culture. We Cover It.

Golf has always been more than a game.

It's a reflection of personal style, shared experiences, community, and the people who play it.

And today, the culture surrounding golf is evolving.

From the influence of hip-hop and basketball to the emergence of streetwear, sneaker culture, independent designers, and a new generation of golfers, the game is finding fresh expressions of identity and creativity.

Par & Sole exists to tell those stories.

We're an independent golf-culture publication exploring the intersection of golf, style, personalities, and contemporary culture.

Through original editorial features, interviews, photography, and cultural commentary, we highlight the individuals, brands, and movements shaping the game's next chapter.

We believe golf culture extends beyond the scorecard.

It's what you wear.

It's the music you listen to on the way to the course.

It's the connections you make.

It's the stories you carry beyond the fairway.

And it's the communities bringing new perspectives to the game.

What We Cover

STYLE

The evolving aesthetic of golf. From traditional influences to contemporary streetwear, we explore personal expression on and off the course.

FOOTWEAR

Where sneaker culture meets golf. Design, innovation, collaborations, and the shoes connecting performance with personality.

CULTURE

The intersection of golf with music, basketball, art, fashion, and the broader cultural movements influencing the sport.

PEOPLE

The athletes, creatives, entrepreneurs, designers, and everyday individuals whose stories deserve to be told.

THE SCENE

The events, destinations, communities, and experiences bringing modern golf culture together.

Beyond the Fairway

Our signature interview series, Beyond the Fairway, explores the stories behind the people influencing golf and the cultures connected to it.

Hosted by founder Anthony Cooper, these conversations go beyond the game to uncover the experiences, ambitions, creative influences, and perspectives that shape the people we meet.

Because sometimes the most interesting stories in golf have very little to do with the score.
