There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
Short Par 4. A subscription-based golf apparel box delivered straight to your door.
Who Tried It:
Connor. Managing Editor and resident sneakerhead. I’ve tried similar subscription boxes and they’ve always turned out pretty well. The packaging for Short Par 4 is just discreet enough that my wife didn’t pester me with questions when the box showed up at my door.
What Makes Short Par 4 Unique?
You’re probably wondering what (if anything) makes Short Par 4 unique. Similar subscription boxes exist, so why Short Par 4?
There is one big thing that separates Short Par 4 from its competitors: variety. Where similar products have one, two or three options, Short Par 4 offers six distinct subscription options.
- Fairway – $54.95 per month ($110 value) for male golfers
- Magnolia – $99 per month ($200 value) for female golfers
- Executive – $109.95 per month ($200 value) for male golfers who want more premium gear
- Junior – $49.94 per month ($100 value) for junior boys and girls
- Glove Club – Starting at $15 per month (choose one, two or three gloves per month)
- The Vault – $99 (included with any apparel membership subscription) gives exclusive access to brand-name gear at discounted prices.
Easy Does It
The name of the game for Short Par 4 is convenience and ease. While some people (like me) don’t mind shopping around for great deals and spending hours at the local sporting goods store, there is clearly a demographic that would rather their gear be hand-picked and delivered without moving more than a finger or two.
This is the big value prop for Short Par 4. Simply answer a few questions about your style and sizes, pick a membership that fits your budget and needs and let them do the work for you.
From hitting the website to signing up for a box takes no more than a minute or two. No more spending 45 minutes waiting in line behind Dodgeball Dad or Coupon Karen at a store waiting to check out.
Is it Worth It?
I’ll let you be the judge. Based on the contents of my Fairway box, I’d say that I definitely received more than $54.95 of value. My box included:
- Hat
- Two polos
- Belt
- Golf balls
- Golf towel
Just being honest, I’m a huge brand snob. So the Fairway Box may not be the perfect fit for me (I’m better suited for the Executive). But even still, it’s clear that the gear I received was worth more than the price I paid.
I’m a sucker for a good deal and Short Par 4 is just that.
