In this episode of The Hole Story Podcast, Robby sits down with Akbar Chisti, co-founder of the renowned Seamus Golf. You may know Seamus for their iconic head covers, ball markers, and other stylish golf accessories found at some of the most celebrated golf resorts and clubs in the country. Akbar shares his unique journey into the game—from making his first club out of a stick and doorstop to falling in love with golf alongside his family—and explains how his personal heritage and creative inspirations led to the birth of the Seamus brand.

We dive into the story behind the company's name, which traces back to an Irish Terrier named Seamus, and talk about the ethos of self-expression that Akbar and his wife Megan have brought to the world of golf accessories. Akbar pulls back the curtain on what it’s like partnering with destination courses and major tournaments, including the US Open and Masters, and reveals the passion that keeps him innovating in an ever-changing golf landscape.

From tales of caddying at Bandon Dunes to his favorite course logos and bucket-list trips, this episode digs into what makes golf more than just a sport—it’s a community, a creative outlet, and a lifelong bond with friends and family. Grab your favorite club (and maybe a Seamus head cover), and enjoy this rich conversation about golf’s past, present, and exciting future.
