Welcome to Good Company — the podcast where we sit down with Australia’s fastest-growing founders and uncover the real stories behind the businesses they’re building.
In this episode, we sit down with Sam Merton, the founder of Bayside Golf — a fast-growing golf brand bringing quality gear, lifestyle culture, and a modern community feel to one of Australia’s most loved sports.
From launching with a single idea to building a brand that resonates with everyday golfers, Sam has carved out a unique lane in a crowded industry. His approach blends product quality, brand storytelling, and a deep understanding of what golfers actually want.
🔥 In this episode, we dive into:
✅ How Bayside Golf went from concept to a thriving modern golf brand
✅ The strategy behind product design, community, and brand loyalty
✅ Lessons Sam learned building a business outside the traditional "corporate golf" mould
