About Longball Athletics
Longball was created by three Canadian golfers passionate about the game of golf and the lifestyle that goes along with it. They were out of university, working full time and looking for a way to stay connected with the sport while supporting one of their long times friends who was turning professional. With the baby boomers retiring, the Longball founders noticed a gap in the industry where there was a strong need for a young, fun brand that was developed by the player for the player.
