SARASOTA, FL – April 29, 2019 – Short Par 4, the #1 “Hand Curated Box” for golfers everywhere, celebrates its five year anniversary this spring. What started as an idea to offer golfers affordable yet stylish apparel, and accessories has grown into the largest subscription box company in the golf industry, and in only five years.
“The past five years have been an amazing ride. Thank you to our incredibly hard working team, and our family of members that make up Short Par 4. There is no stopping here, we will continue to work towards our goal of becoming THE largest direct to consumer golf brand in the industry,” said Bobby DiMeo, Founder and CEO of Short Par 4.
Short Par 4 is the brain child of Bobby DiMeo. He had a vision to develop an exciting, golf inspired, box subscription service that ships hand curated, top-quality, golf apparel and accessories directly to golfers. Five years ago, DiMeo’s concept evolved quickly but it was his business partner, Martin Haas, who brought the resources to Short Par 4 to make the company what it is today.
“I am proud, humbled, and amazed what has been accomplished at Short 4 over the last five years. I am so thankful for both our team, and our members, they have made this dream – a reality. I look forward to, and am excited to continue this journey,” stated Martin Hass, CFO of Short Par 4.
There have been many milestones for Short Par 4 over the past five years. One important breakthrough is when the company expanded their subscription box membership offerings to include the Rickie Fowler TOUR Experience. Short Par 4 members get the same outfits, brands, and accessories exclusively worn by PGA TOUR star, Rickie Fowler. This partnership really expanded started their brand recognition. This signified another marker in the company’s growth in the golf community.
This February, Short Par 4 was a “Founding Father” sponsor at the Web.com TOUR LECOM Suncoast Classic, as well as, the presenting sponsor of the Pro-Am. The team took great pride in being involved in the inaugural event, which took place in the company’s backyard.
“What a journey this has been! To personally experience the ongoing and rapid growth of Short Par 4 has been amazing, and we’ve only just begun. I am excited to see the impact Short Par 4 will have in the golf community over the next five years,” said Tadd Frost, COO of Short Par 4.
Short Par 4 takes a comprehensive approach in growing the company, which is why this benchmark is so important. Short Par 4 developed the Magnolia Membership Box, a subscription box exclusively for women and with LPGA icon, Lexi Thompson, at the helm. She will style this new subscription box for women of all golfing levels. This partnership expands the Short Par 4 business profoundly.
“Five years ago we started this journey to change the way golfers buy golf apparel. It’s been fun and we’re delighted to now offer women the same style, convenience, and value that our other members have been able to experience,” added DiMeo.
The professional golf tours are an intricate part of Short Par 4’s history and commitment. Since the inception of Short Par 4, their global golf ambassador team continues to grow. Short Par 4 is represented on the PGA TOUR by Rickie Fowler, John Chin and Tyler Duncan. On the LPGA TOUR, Lexi Thompson will create awareness for the new Magnolia Box. On the Web.com TOUR, the company is represented by Kevin Doughtery, and Kevin Lucas. On the PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS, Tom Pernice proudly wears the Short Par 4 logo on his outwear and accessories.
Short Par 4’s milestones and markers are certainly ongoing. Most recently, to accommodate for the company’s growth, Short Par 4 moved from their modest warehouse and offices to a new facility. They needed additional space to accommodate for the continuing increase of products, as well as, the increase of staff.
To celebrate the five year anniversary, Short Par 4 is conducting five days of giveaway on Instagram, starting on April 29, 2019.
