(PRESS RELEASE) DRAPER, UT — Lashbrook, the industry leader in custom-designed men’s wedding bands, announced that it has acquired Doubloon Golf. The founders Blake Laker and Sam Norton identified a significant gap in the market. Recognizing the growing demand for high-end, meaningful gifts, especially within the golf community, Lashbrook is expanding its offerings to meet this need.
Doubloon presents a unique gifting option. The product has gained traction among collectors, corporate executives, golfers and those that give gifts to golfers. Notably, Doubloon is being embraced as a prestigious keepsake for national golf championships, golf teams, and business professionals. Many retailers are welcoming this addition to their showcases, particularly after its successful debut at Centurion Jewelry Show, where Doubloon received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
“Doubloon represents an exciting expansion for Lashbrook,” said Eric Laker, Founder and CEO of Lashbrook. “Not only is it a remarkable gift that resonates with a massive audience, but it also complements traditional jewelry offerings by introducing a new category that doesn’t compete with existing products, creating incremental sales rather than replacing other purchases.”
The golf industry has seen significant growth in recent years, reinforcing the demand for premium golf-related gifts:
- Golf’s overall reach has increased by 30% in the past seven years.
- The number of female golfers has risen by 25% in the last five years.
- 45 million people played golf in the U.S. last year, compared to just 2 million weddings.
- Online searches for golf gifts have doubled since COVID.
With the acquisition of Doubloon Golf, Lashbrook continues to innovate within the luxury gifting space, providing retailers with an exclusive, high-end offering for the surging golf market.
