Golf Lovers: About Patrick & Ali

Welcome to our golf website!

We thought you would understand what we mean by “Golfophile” – it’s like an audiophile, a logophile, a technophile for example…. Golfophiles appreciate and enjoy golf – you get it! Here are some other kinds of -philes: Free Dictionary

Who We Are

Patrick is the golfer and Ali is along to have fun, gather some videos, impart some useful tips, and create what we hope will be a fun and useful golf resource for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and passionate devotees!

Where We Are

We’re living in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. We have a ton of photos and video from around Vancouver Island, but we also have footage from California, where Patrick hails from. Different parts of the world are considered more or less beautiful, depending on the season, but I think we can all agree that golf courses are always among the most lovely parts of any region.

What We Are Sharing

Some of our favourite golf products, apps, accessories, destinations, and yes, outfits, will appear on golfophile.com because we love to share…. In fact, you can see from our videos, sometimes we share too much!

Our Mission

We aim to entertain and promote our favourite sport. Please bear with us, sign up for our alerts, join us on social media, etc. – we’re looking for ways to pay it forward with our golf habit and yours!

Golf Products

Check out some golf products we think you will love! Our hobby / habit / addiction has us shopping at the golf shops and scouring online for perfect golf clubs, tees, golf apparel, gadgets, gifts, and so on. We share our favourites with you!

Our aim is to curate the very best products, ones we love, ones we actually use. We’ll also let you know about our buyer’s remorse – products we’ve bought and do NOT like.

Golf Product Reviews

We have some product reviews on our blog and more on the way for recent purchases

Rangefinder
Cart – in-box still, ready for a full unboxing video
Ladies’ Golf Gloves (Black)

Neither one of us loves shopping, but there are items we really need for our hobby (AKA: habit), and we find ourselves, like any golfer, going to greater-than-expected expense to choose the best product we can find.

The shopping list is long and gets longer and more specialized as you get more and more addicted to golf!

Check out our printable golf bag checklist and you’ll see what we mean. You’ll not only need to own these things, but it helps a lot if you keep most of it in your bag at all times and keep it organized so you always know which pocket to dig into for your tees, markers, extra jacket, etc.

Don’t forget, you also need to take care in selecting the bag!
