What Grit Really Looks Like

What Grit Really Looks Like

Grit isn’t just a buzzword.
It’s not something stitched into a sleeve or tagged on a hoodie.

Grit is survival.
It’s driving yourself to the ER in the middle of a heart emergency.
It’s hearing someone randomly mention your golf apparel months later — and instead of shrugging it off, using it as the spark to start again.

I know because that was me.

Just a year ago, I was recovering from emergency open-heart surgery. I shut down the shop. I paused everything. I was healing — physically, emotionally, and creatively.

Then one day, someone brought up Pig Pen Tees out of nowhere. They remembered it. They saw something in it. And that reminded me: so did I.

That’s when Golf Weather came to life.
That’s when Golf HER and Golf Jersey began to evolve.
Not just products — symbols. Proof that I was still here.

Grit isn’t about being tough all the time.
It’s about getting back in the game, even after it almost ends.

So if you’re reading this:

• Take that next breath.

• Make that next swing.

• Build that next thing.

Don’t just survive.
Live it full.
That’s what Pig Pen Tees stands for.
