Clubs and Sticks was born from a place of passion, purpose, and deep personal loss.

Years ago, I lost one of my closest friends — Ivan Ferrero. He was more than a friend; he was a brother in spirit. Ivan loved golf. It was his sanctuary, his challenge, his joy. After his passing, I picked up a set of clubs to honor his memory. What started as a tribute became a new chapter in my life. I didn’t just play — I fell in love with the game.

My journey with cigars and golf didn’t begin at the same time — but they both found me during pivotal moments in life.

I remember the day clearly. I had just completed my final undergraduate exam — the last step in a long and challenging journey. A friend handed me a cigar to celebrate. It wasn’t just a smoke; it was a moment. The weight of accomplishment, the quiet satisfaction, the flavor of success — all wrapped up in one slow, deliberate draw. That cigar marked a turning point. Something about it stayed with me.

That was the beginning of something deeper. Over the next 20 years, I immersed myself in both worlds — developing my golf game and refining my palate for cigars. I studied the craft, traveled to lounges and events, and connected with fellow enthusiasts across the country. I wasn’t just enjoying a hobby — I was living a lifestyle.

That’s when the vision hit me.

What if there was a space that brought these two timeless experiences together? A sanctuary for those who appreciate precision, patience, and pleasure. A place where the feel of a perfect swing could be matched by the draw of a well-aged cigar. A lifestyle hub built around golf, cigars, culture, and connection.

Clubs and Sticks isn’t just a business — it’s a legacy. It’s a community. It’s a tribute.

We’re building more than an upscale indoor golf and cigar lounge. We’re creating a destination for connoisseurs, competitors, and casual fans alike — featuring world-class golf simulators, premium cigar selections, curated cocktails, and luxurious lounges, including a members-only experience for those who want more.

This is for those who understand the value of the pause between the swings. The celebration after a long drive. The conversation that happens over a glass of bourbon and a bold cigar.

This is Clubs and Sticks — where your game meets your lifestyle.
