We built Tahoma Golf Co. because the gap was too big to ignore.
Tahoma Golf Co. exists because two veterans sat down one day and realized they had something worth showing the world. Dreams and ideas will remain unrealized unless you are bold enough to take the first step. We looked at the landscape - competitive, crowded, and following the same tired playbook - and we saw something missing. That's where we live. That's our opportunity.
We know this game. Not as expert players, but as people who have experienced its transcendent power. The ability to mend veterans broken by PTSD. The ability to provide the competition that so many seek, regardless of age. And more than anything, the ability to temporarily remove the weight of life's hardest challenges - from relationship struggles to cancer battles and everything in between - because this game demands your full attention. It gives you no choice but to be present.
The Tahoma Craftsmanship Process
You know the feeling of holding something that is truly high quality - where the weight, the finish, and every last detail tells you someone truly cared.
That's exactly what we set out to put in your hands. Every piece that leaves our shop moves through the same four-stage process: imagine, design, create, and perfect. No shortcuts, no overlooked details - just handcrafted metalwork held to an uncompromising standard of excellence.
And because we believe that standard shouldn't come with an unreasonable price tag, we work relentlessly to make sure quality this good is actually within reach.
This is what we build.
This is what you deserve.
Joshua Cantrell, Co-Founder
Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, Josh brings 21 years of Army service - to everything he builds. He retired in 2023 as a Master Sergeant and came back to two things he'd always loved: the game of golf and the craft of making something worth keeping. A 25-year golfer with a deep appreciation for handcrafted accessories, Josh founded The Golf Gift Box before channeling everything he learned into Tahoma Golf Co. He serves as Assistant State Director for Washington with the Veteran Golfers Association and believes that the best things - on and off the course - are built with intention.
Jeffrey Wheatcroft, Co-Founder
Jeff grew up in Eastern Washington farm country, the kind of place that teaches you early that quality work and quiet pride go hand in hand. After nearly a decade in the Navy and nine years in agriculture, he brought a project manager's precision and a genuine love for people to everything he does. A competitive golfer for over 26 years, Jeff serves as the Veteran Golfers Association's State Director for Washington and is deeply involved in giving back to his community. He believes golf is more than a game, it's the community shaped around it that makes it something special.
"A game that refuses to be mastered by anyone - and that's why we love it."
