Golf Slang 101: What’s a Breakfast Ball?

Golf Slang 101: What’s a Breakfast Ball?

If you've ever stepped up to the first tee box, whiffed your drive into the woods, and thought, "Let’s just pretend that didn’t happen," — congratulations, you’ve already played a breakfast ball.

In this post, we’re breaking down one of golf’s most beloved (and unofficial) terms: the breakfast ball — and why it perfectly matches the spirit of our fun golf hats at Breakfast Ball Golf.


🥓 What Is a Breakfast Ball?

A breakfast ball is a casual, no-judgment do-over on your first tee shot. No penalty. No scorecard drama. Just a second chance to start the round right. It’s the golfing equivalent of hitting snooze on Monday morning — and we’re all about it.

It’s not in the official rulebook, but it’s one of golf’s greatest unspoken traditions — especially among weekend warriors, scramble teams, and anyone who hasn’t swung a club since last fall.


🧢 The Breakfast Ball Mindset = Fun Golf Energy

Golf can be intense — but it doesn’t have to be. At Breakfast Ball Golf, we think golf should be about good vibes, cold drinks, and outfits that say “I’m here to have a good time… even if I triple bogey the first hole.”

That’s why we created a line of fun golf hats that channel that same breakfast ball energy: laid-back, stylish, and always down for a redo.
