Our Story
This journey began when COVID forced bunker rakes off the courses. That sparked Ryan Curran, a professional golfer on the Ontario/Canadian mini-tour circuit, to scratch out the initial design of Rake Caddy on a napkin. Isn’t that how all great ideas are born? Ryan brought the idea to me, Mike White, a Mental Performance Coach and former Marketing Agency owner, and a partnership was formed.

The BIG Question
But the question we asked ourselves was, “Does this idea have life after COVID?”. Judging by the reaction to our prototype, the answer was a resounding, “Yes!”. The convenience factor alone scored extremely high with our small test group. Rake Caddy is always with you.

Problems? What Problems?
We also asked ourselves, “What problems are we solving?”.
- The rake always seems to be on the other side of the bunker.
- It gets in the way of a good lie.
- You never know who or what has touched it last.
- Avoids the question, “What is that green thing on the handle?”.
- No splinters or bugs, snakes and other surprises hiding in the grass.
- No rakes on the course speeds up maintenance and saves costs.
- A personal rake improves the pace of play, meaning more revenue for the course.
