The Story Behind The Rooster

Red Rooster Golf started with a friendship, a bucket-list trip, and one very bad golf glove.

Longtime pals Kerry Moher—an entrepreneur—and Brad Fritsch, a former PGA TOUR player, decided to meet up for a trip to Pinehurst.

Kerry arrived fully dialed in… top-tier clubs, premium apparel, and all the best gear—except his glove.

It was old, ragged, and way past its prime.

Naturally, Brad couldn’t help but poke fun at him. From his time on tour, he knew better than anyone how critical a fresh, properly fitted glove is to feel, confidence, and performance.

A worn-out glove wasn’t just an oversight—it was sacrilege.

That moment stuck with Kerry. How had he obsessed over every other detail for such an important trip, yet overlooked the one thing that directly connects him to the club?

And if it could happen to him, how many other golfers were showing up to the course with gloves that were quietly holding them back?

After Pinehurst, Kerry went down the rabbit hole of golf gloves. He researched everything—materials, fit, durability, and performance—and that’s when the lightbulb went off.

Why were golf gloves so often overlooked? And why wasn’t there an easy way to always have a fresh, tour-quality glove when you needed it?

Kerry and Brad decided it was time to raise the standard. They set out to build gloves with exceptional feel, tour-level performance, and lasting durability—while offering golfers the option to opt into a subscription service, so they never show up to the course with an old glove again.

Red Rooster launched like a rocket!

Red Rooster Golf took off in 2021 with a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, hitting its fundraising goal in less than 24 hours. Over 1,000 backers supported our venture, and we raised nearly $100,000!

We started this company as two golfers—one a former PGA Tour player and the other an entrepreneur—who wanted to bring tour-quality gloves directly to our customers.

Since inception, we've quickly grown in the industry, earning awards and recognition for our products, commitment to quality, and customer satisfaction. Our gloves have been recognized by MyGolfSpy, including awards for Best Performance Golf Glove, taking first AND second place with our popular styles The Cape and The Range Rooster, proving that premium materials and craftsmanship make a difference on the course. Our Rain Gloves (The Rain Rooster) also won the Best Rain Glove category for its unique look and functional design, providing exceptional grip and performance in wet conditions.

Beyond creating top-tier gloves, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the game. Through our Play It Forward initiative, we support junior golf by providing free gloves to young players, helping the next generation develop their skills with proper equipment.
