Off Course – The New Cool in Golf
Authors: gestalten & Paul Rojanathara

Off Course – The New Cool in Golf shows how golf is undergoing a radical cultural transformation. What was once dominated by strict etiquette, hierarchy, and dress codes is now evolving into an open and creative lifestyle where fashion, music, design, and self-expression are central. Golf is no longer just a sport, but a cultural platform.

This contemporary coffee table book brings together the new faces of golf: players, designers, streetwear brands, and collectives that are reshaping the game. Sneakers replace classic golf shoes, streetwear conquers the fairway, and influences from skate, art, and online culture give the game a completely new energy.

This photo book is structured like an 18-hole round and combines essays, portraits, and powerful images into a cultural handbook of modern golf. Off Course shows how tradition and innovation come together and how golf evolves from an exclusive country club to a global cultural statement. An inspiring book for golfers, creatives, fashion fans, and lovers of contemporary culture.

What to expect

• Portraits of players, designers, and creative collectives renewing the identity of golf
• Stories about streetwear, underground scenes, and alternative golf culture worldwide
• Strong photography and essays that show how golf is changing from a sport to a lifestyle and cultural code
• A fresh look at golf as a platform for self-expression, community, and creativity
