- Marcus and Miles of NoonanGolfCo.com
Golf Origin Stories is finally back after a slightly unplanned hiatus!
Everyone meet Marcus and Miles of Noonan Golf Co! Awesome guys who love golf and decided during the pandemic to start their own golf apparel and accessories company.
I already loved their 90s-themed stuff before getting to know the guys, but after spending an hour or so with them, I'm all in. They're just two great dudes who don't take themselves too seriously and just want to have some fun in the golf world.
You have to check out their stuff at NoonanGolfCo.com! Specifically, their "Call Me Maybe" and "Breakfast Club" golf towels. So great!
Also, follow them on Instagram and TikTok @NoonanGolfCo. They are a great follow.

And, if you want more golf talk from me, I co-host a weekly show called "That Range Life: A Show Sometimes About Golf".

Andy Frye is currently covering sports for Forbes magazine, but he’s also written for ESPN, Rolling Stones, the Chicago Tribune...all without a journalism degree.
Andy shares his experiences interviewing some of the biggest names in golf, including Justin Rose, Brooks Koepka, Annika Sorenstam, and David Feherty.
He also has written something on LinkedIn, of all places, about his leap from cubicle dweller to sportswriter that I found to be incredibly inspiring.
We talk about that, the first sport he ever covered, something called “Fistball”, a few of his golf stories, and a book he’s currently working on called “Smashing Adversity”.
If you enjoy unique insights from all different kinds of athletes, in and outside of golf, you should definitely follow Andy on Twitter at @SportyFrye.
