I was 150 out in the first cut, ball above my feet, with a grove of trees standing guard in an out-of-bounds ravine between my ball and the green. In my bag: four over-priced “don’t you dare lose me” tour balls and a handful of strays rescued while searching for my own. I needed a ball built for hero shots and dumb ideas, something I wouldn’t feel guilty losing. A Sacrifice Ball. It didn’t exist. So we made it.

Sacrifice Golf is the Official Ball of Water Hazards. A legit, USGA-conforming ball that flies honest, with an irreverent design to encourage your inner Tin Cup on every shot and a price that doesn’t punish that courage. For most everyday swings, our 2-piece ionomer will go longer and straighter than 3-piece tour urethane.*

Our ball is permission to take the hero line: swing for the fence, not the bailout. Either you nail the shot you’ll talk about after the round, or it vanishes into the trees as community service: a pay-it-forward gift to the next muni legend rummaging in the rough. Either way, #winning. Some balls were meant to die. Lose with pride. Hit the next one better.

Sacrifice Golf is a California-based brand for real golfers. We’re launching apparel and course accessories now while we finish our first USGA-conforming 2-piece Surlyn ball, the Sacrifice Classic.
