About Us
Heckle Golf started the way all great golf stories do—with a little friendly competition and a lot of laughs.
Brandon Swartzendruber, a former pro soccer player and entrepreneur from Colorado, landed in Southeast Georgia after hanging up his cleats. He didn’t care for tee times, played lightning-fast, and loved being the first off the box. Derek Bradley, a Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist from Northern Michigan, also made Southeast Georgia home after his residency. He did make tee times and also played fast—so he was always first off, too.
One morning, Brandon jumped in front of Derek’s tee time. Derek, who happened to have his camera in hand, let him play through on one condition: “You have to let me take your picture.” Brandon thought he was nuts but agreed. A few days later, a mutual friend introduced them and suggested they should tee it up together.
That was it. A bond formed instantly. Brandon was the stick with an obsession for the game. Derek was the “Running Man,” hyping everyone up with endless energy and an unstoppable motor. Between holes and rounds, they started brainstorming ways to work together. Brandon threw out idea after idea—until one stuck. Heckle.
From that moment, the vision was clear: create a golf brand built on what makes the game great—friends, fun, and a little bit of trash talk. Whether you’re a tour pro or the once-a-year weekend warrior, everyone heckles their buddies on the course. It’s part of the game.
Heckle Golf exists to bring that energy to your gear. Bold designs, unapologetic style, and a reminder that golf doesn’t have to be stuffy—and neither does your drip. This is Golf Unfiltered.
Two dudes from different parts of the country. One love for the game. One shared belief: Golf is better with a little Heckle.
