About CHiP Golf

The best rounds are shared.

More Than a Scorecard

Built for the people you play with.

CHiP Golf started with family rounds, old friends, and the conversations that only happen while walking a fairway. The apparel had to fit that part of the game: steady, useful, and never louder than the moment.

Lorenzo's Standard

Service shaped the standard.

Founder Lorenzo Ruano served six years in the United States Marines and 26 years with the California Highway Patrol. CHiP Golf carries that same simple standard: prepare well, respect people, and earn what you wear.

Founding Cause

A portion goes back to CHP families.

CHiP Golf plans to support the California Association of Highway Patrolmen Widows and Orphans Trust Fund, which helps families connected to the CHP community. The cause fits the founder, the crest, and the brand.

The Founder

Lorenzo Ruano built CHiP Golf from service, family, and the game.

Lorenzo was born in Sonora, Mexico and raised in Las Vegas after his mother brought four children to the United States for a better shot. Her sacrifice shaped his can-do standard.

He served six years in the United States Marines, then 26 years with the California Highway Patrol. After nearly 32 years of service, the golf course became a place to reconnect, reflect, laugh, and spend time with the people who matter.

I built CHiP Golf to celebrate the game, the people we share it with, and the memories that stay with us long after the final putt is buried.
