About Us
At Shankit Golf, we’re more than just a brand — we’re a community of passionate golf enthusiasts on a mission to bring fun and excitement back into the game we love. Founded just a few years ago, our journey started with a shared vision: to grow the game of golf by making it more accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone. Born out of a collective love for the fairways and a desire to break away from traditional golf norms, Shankit Golf believes the game isn’t just a sport — it’s a lifestyle meant to be enjoyed by all. Our name, “Shankit,” represents our lighthearted approach to golf — embracing the mishits, the laughs, and the moments that make every round memorable. We celebrate both the perfect shots and the ones that end up in the trees, because that’s what makes golf fun. Our mission is simple: to grow the game by building community, encouraging inclusivity, and promoting a more relaxed, welcoming vibe. What sets us apart is our commitment to creating high-quality, stylish, and innovative gear — all with a touch of humor and personality that reflects the true spirit of the game. We drop new gear every Thursday — always limited, never boring — so there’s always something fresh to swing in. From wild designs like ice cream prints, stogie patches, and our infamous Lip Pillow Hats, we’re not afraid to push the boundaries of golf fashion. And at the heart of it all is our growing community — connect with us on Instagram or join our Facebook Group, where it’s basically a digital 19th hole. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or just picking up your first club, we invite you to be a part of Shankit Golf. Here’s to more birdies, fewer bogeys, and a whole lot of fun along the way. Swing on!
Niels Stone
Niels, a washed-up former pro baseball player from Naples, Florida, founded Shankit Golf in 2020 after leaving the Minor Leagues — a righty-swinging, lefty-putting Star Wars nerd who somehow runs the whole brand solo without knowing what drops next. He’s the laid-back, impulsive mastermind behind the chaos, proud of his two simulator hole-in-ones, questionable gluten-free pizza habit, and weekend golf rounds with his wife.
Patrick Conway
Pat is the most interesting yet average golfer you’ll meet — a former three-sport athlete from Libertyville who now runs Shankit’s marketing, customer service, and product design with a brain the CEO calls a “steel trap.” He’s known for wild stories, knowing everyone, and somehow pulling hamstrings weekly in men’s softball while pretending to play golf.
Carter Penn
Carter, the frat boy of the office, grew up in Rochester, Michigan playing baseball and hockey before landing in Southwest Florida — and now we’re stuck with him. The lefty does it all, from packing orders to making TikToks (thanks to his famous ex), yells wild stuff like “FIOREEEE,” and claims to be a -10.5 handicap… though his family would probably disagree.
Anthony Casazza
Anthony, our remote-working super genius and WhatNot king, grew up in Lemont, IL, where he used both brains and brawn to stand out. He solves problems, lands wholesale clients, and keeps morale high with his belief that we’ll be the biggest golf brand in the world. In his free time, he’s a family man and our go-to source for WhatNot drama.
