In today’s episode, host John Combs sits down with Ryan Cummings, the creative mind behind Palmetto and Pine—an apparel brand dedicated to celebrating golf culture in the Carolinas. Ryan shares the evolution of his brand from its original “Cackalacky Golf” days to the more refined Palmetto and Pine, discussing what prompted the rebrand and how it’s sparked a new direction for his business.
You’ll hear about Ryan’s journey exploring the diverse golf landscape in both North and South Carolina, his approach to simple, clean apparel design, and the role distinct golf course logos play in his on-course adventures. Ryan also dishes on some must-visit hidden gems near Charlotte, his favorite Carolinas courses and logos, and what makes a golf experience truly memorable.
Whether you’re a local golfer, a fan of great course branding, or just love discovering new places to tee it up, this episode offers plenty of inspiration—and maybe a few ideas for your own Carolina golf road trip.
