My name is Austin Peckham, and for as long as I can remember, golf has been an integral part of my life. Some of my earliest and most cherished memories involve plastic golf clubs and countless hours spent swinging away in the backyard. Golf wasn't just a game played in my family—it was a passion that connected generations. My dad and grandfather shared a deep love for the game, and that enthusiasm always found its way to me.
As a kid, what started as playful swings turned into something more serious. By middle school, I began playing competitively. From high school championships to state tournaments, golf became my outlet, my focus, and my drive. Eventually, I walked on to the golf team at the University of Southern Indiana. I even found myself playing mini-tour events down in the Florida/Georgia circuit—a chapter of hard work, grit, and chasing the dream.
After my time in competitive golf, I found myself on a different path—video production. Since 2017, I’ve had the privilege of directing videos for some of the biggest names in the music industry and collaborating with globally recognized brands. Creating videos for Grammy Award-winning songs, chart-topping hits, and campaigns for brands like White Claw, RAM Trucks, and Cobra Golf.
In November 2023, everything changed. The birth of our daughter was a defining moment in my life. It made me reflect on my passions, my career, and the legacy I wanted to create. Deep down, the answer felt so obvious—I needed to return to the world of golf, a place I instinctively knew and deeply loved. But I wasn’t just coming back as a golfer; I wanted to bring my storytelling expertise into this space in a way that could help others succeed.
And so, Branded Golf was born.
