Before he was designing golf apparel, Jack Fardell was skating the streets of San Francisco, New York, and Sydney, racking up footage, magazine covers, and global sponsors. Now, the pro skater turned creative has teamed up with longtime friends from Adidas, Volcom, and Nike to build something new: a golf brand that doesn’t feel like every other golf brand.

“We just wanted to make stuff we actually wanted to wear,” Jack says. “And we wanted to bring our friends along for the ride.”

That spirit is the foundation of Walker Golf, a brand rooted in Australian golf culture, shaped by street and skate influence, and defined by technical, easygoing design. It’s gear that feels as good off the course as it does on it.

What started as an idea for a skate brand evolved into something bigger, something that captures the laid-back energy of coastal Australia and blends it with a lifelong love of the game. Three years ago, the crew launched Walker Golf out of the Gold Coast with a simple goal: to make golf clothes that look good, feel good, and work wherever the day leads.

From the fairway to the skatepark to the pub, this is performance gear without the performance complex. Designed by people who play, made for people who live.

And what a background it is. With deep experience at brands like Adidas, Volcom, and Nike, the Walker crew didn’t come to play small. What they’ve built is a brand that blends technical function with relaxed Australian cool - always clean, never boring.

The design philosophy is straightforward: gear you can wear on the course, and straight to the bar after. It’s laid-back but refined, subtle but styled. A touch of stretch here, a technical fabric there. Classic silhouettes with performance details built in.

The line includes everything from lightweight polos and overshirts to performance shorts and laid-back layering pieces. It's technical enough to play in, but cool enough to wear anywhere.

More than a brand, Walker is a lifestyle. One built on community, culture, and a deep love of the game.

Even their kookaburra logo has a story, borrowed from Jack’s grandfather’s WWII regiment, and now passed down as the family emblem. “It’s personal. It means something,” Jack said.

And that’s really what Walker Golf is all about: doing something you love, with the people you love, and doing it well.

Q: What makes Walker Golf different from other brands out there?

Jack: “We have deep roots in both skate and golf, and that balance shows up in everything we do. Plus, we just really care about this. We’ve been playing our whole lives.”

Q: How would you describe your target customer?

Jack: “Honestly? We don’t really have one. We’re just making what we love and hoping others are stoked on it too. That said, if we had to pick, it’s probably a mid-30s Aussie dad who plays twice a week.”

Q: Any musical influences in the brand?

Jack: “Yeah we’ve got friends in bands like Tame Impala and Skegss. A lot of our shoots and trips are just hanging out with our mates and making cool stuff together.”

Q: Favorite place to play golf?

Jack: “The west side of Oahu. It’s kind of a dream. Surf in the morning, golf in the afternoon.”
