The Breakfast Ball Manifesto: Why Your First Drive Doesn’t Count
Share
Let’s get one thing straight:
Your first tee shot is a lie.
It’s rushed. It’s rusty. It’s surrounded by judgmental stares from the starter, your playing partners, and that guy in cargo shorts who insists on doing stretches with resistance bands.
So here at Breakfast Ball Golf Co., we believe in something radical, something pure:
The first one doesn’t count.
Welcome to the Breakfast Ball Manifesto — a celebration of the second chance, the re-do, the mulligan that makes golf fun again.
🥓 What Is a Breakfast Ball?
A breakfast ball is the shot you take after you absolutely shank your opening drive but pretend it never happened. It’s the unofficial do-over of golf — usually unannounced, always unpenalized.
It’s not in the rulebook, but it’s written in our hearts.
Think of it as:
-
A mulligan with more hope
-
A swing with less pressure
-
The golf gods saying, “Let’s pretend we didn’t see that”
🧃 Why We Believe in the Breakfast Ball
Golf is hard. Like, really hard.
And yet, for some reason, we tee it up cold — no warm-up, no range, no stretching — and expect greatness on the very first swing. That’s nonsense.
Your first drive is just shaking off the dust.
Your second drive?
Now we’re golfing.
That’s the soul of the Breakfast Ball:
It’s a reset button. A fresh start. A chance to tell the game of golf, “Nice try, I’m going again.”
And isn’t that what golf’s really about?
⛳️ The Breakfast Ball Way of Life
It’s not just a shot — it’s a philosophy.
It’s how you approach golf and life:
-
Missed a putt? Re-roll it.
-
Wearing two different socks? Fashion statement.
-
Took a drop closer than you should’ve? Generous relief, your honor.
-
Made a bogey on 18? Scorecard says par — you were tapping in.
You don’t need to be good.
You need to be delusional with confidence.
And ideally, you need to look good doing it.
(That’s where the hats come in. Just saying.)
🎩 Dress Like You Meant to Miss the First One
Breakfast Ball Golf Co. was born from this exact mindset.
We make hats, towels, and accessories for golfers who:
-
Take 2 off the 1st
-
Skip the range
-
Know that vibes > score
Because if you're gonna chunk your drive, you might as well do it in a hat that says you did it on purpose.
Final Thoughts
Golf is a game of second chances — even if they’re unofficial.
So take your breakfast ball. Smile. Sip something cold.
And remember:
You didn’t slice your first drive. That shot never happened.
🍳 Hit it hard. Hit it again.
And look damn good doing it.
