From P-3 Orions to Par 3s.
I was born in Chicago and raised in Clarksdale (Mississippi Delta) — where the front porch talks were funnier than any comedy special and nobody was impressed by much. I took that attitude to Norfolk State University, played basketball for the Spartans, and in 1996 we won the CIAA Tournament. BEHOLD, The Green And Gold!
After Norfolk State I taught high school math, then college. Then I raised my right hand and joined the U.S. Navy. Spent my career flying P-3 Orions — every theater, a couple of Air Medals, finished up as an Air Liaison Officer in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Came home with stories I mostly keep to myself.
Then golf found me in 2020. Turns out I got decent at it — in 2024 I won the Palmer Flight National Championship on the US Amateur Tour and took National Player of the Year on the Amateur Players Tour. Same season. I say this with the humility of a man who has shanked a drive into somebody's house.
Par For The Wit is for the real ones. The ones who bring a little edge, crack jokes at the turn, show up sharp and leave sharper. The locals, the late bloomers, the "just one more round" crew — and especially the underestimated. We make hats, tees, and visors that say what you've been thinking.
Black-owned. Veteran-operated. Plano, Texas. Pull up a cart — we'll see you on the back nine. ⛳
