Fore Fathers: How Golf Was Almost In The Constitution

Let’s take a mulligan on history for a second. Picture this: It’s July, 1776. The boys are in Philly. The powdered wigs are itchy, the beer is warm, and somewhere between declaring independence and debating fonts for the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin slams his quill down and says:

“Gentlemen, enough politics… we need a back nine.”

Yes, friends, the Founding Fathers almost built this nation on birdies, bogeys, and bunkers. It’s a little-known fact that early drafts of the Declaration of Independence included a line that read:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and endowed with the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of par.”

George Washington: First in War, First in Fairways

George Washington wasn’t just the Father of Our Country—he was the original sandbagger. Legend has it, he crossed the Delaware not to surprise the British, but to sneak in 18 holes before brunch. His caddie? Thomas Jefferson. (Tom kept detailed notes, obviously.)

And when it came time to pick our national bird, it wasn’t between the bald eagle and the turkey—it was between the eagle and the triple bogey. Thankfully, they went with the eagle. Way more patriotic and significantly better for the scorecard.

A Nation Tees Off

While most people think the Constitution was signed in a hot, sweaty room, historians now believe it was actually signed at the turn. Madison wanted a beer. Hamilton had just four-putted. Franklin insisted on getting a hot dog with “freedom relish” before heading back to debate checks and balances.

But amidst all the political squabbling, one idea united them: If America was going to thrive, its people needed style on the course. Not just any style—freedom-forward, comfort-engineered, tee-box-approved fashion.

Enter: Wedgies Apparel.

Wedgies: The Real Revolution

Fast forward to today. Wedgies Apparel is the brand those noble, knicker-wearing legends dreamed of. High-performance polos that keep you confident and hats that scream “I may double every hole but dang it, I look good doing it.”

It’s not just apparel. It’s a movement. A fashion revolution. When you wear Wedgies, you're not just playing golf—you’re continuing the founding fathers’ vision of a free, stylish nation with a strong short game.

Closing Argument 

So next time you’re out there chunking a 7-iron or accidentally launching your ball into a lake named “Lake Thomas Paine,” remember this:

America wasn’t just built on freedom and fireworks—it was built on fairways. Wedgies Apparel is the rightful, fashionable heir to that legacy.

Stay patriotic. Stay stylish. Stay wedged.

Want to honor the true history of our nation? Do it in a Wedgies polo. Founding Father approved. Bunker-tested.
