The Beginning
Southern Swing Golf Apparel was founded in 2024 by co-owners, Benji Bagwell and Ben Mathey, both of whom have had a lifelong passion for golf. Playing most of their rounds in SC, NC, FL, and GA, they know which golf shirts feel good, perform well and have a clean, professional design. Benji has a Textile engineering degree from Clemson University and spent 25+ years developing and sourcing fabrics for some of the top sports and apparel brands. He knows fabric design, styling, what makes fabric comfortable and how to get the most from their performance. Ben attended Bowling Green State University and received his degree in Sport Management. He has 10+ years of working with athletes at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. His sales, marketing and athletic experience has helped guide the development of Southern Swing Golf Apparel to meet the standards of the most demanding athletes.
The Brand
Our brand, Southern Swing Golf Apparel, will always live up to the following standards evidenced in our name. First, we were born in the South. We’re proud to call South Carolina our home and our shirts are created to withstand the grueling conditions of the southern summer months. You will also always be able to count on our designs staying true to southern culture. Our use of pastel colors, the prominent palmetto tree chest emblem, and flowing, cursive word marks embody the 3 “C’s” of the brand – a Classy, Contemporary, Coastal lifestyle. But we will not sacrifice performance in the name of style. Whether you’re hitting the course with your buddies or hitting the town for a night out, the “swings” of everyday life deserve a polo that’s durable, versatile and comfortable. We are Southern Swing Golf Apparel – Made for Play.
