About Us

Austen Fitzpatrick (left), Scott Baron (middle) and Steve Howell (right)—three lifelong friends and dads united by their love for golf—came together to create a unique solution for a common on-course problem. In just over a year, they developed and patented an innovative golf accessory designed to keep ball markers organized, secure, and within easy reach. Featuring a sleek magnetic storage system, push-in push-out poker chip slots and a convenient carabiner clip, this compact mini locker eliminates the hassle of lost or scattered ball markers. Whether you're a weekend enthusiast or a seasoned pro, our goal is to simplify your game, elevate your style, and remove those small but frustrating distractions—one ball marker at a time.
