How We Got Here

A tale of ambition, bad swings, and great hangs

"History is written by the winners. In our case, it's also written by the guys who can't stop talking about that one birdie they made three seasons ago."

The Origin Story

Ratchet League is the brain child of Andrew Hove and Alex Warden. After playing far too many rounds with stiffs, they decided to make the pickelball of golf. A league that doesn't make sense, requires zero physical exertion and is elicits consternation from traditionalists.

Legend says that the ancient Aztcs played a form of golf similar to Ratchet League before they were systematically wiped out by the spanish and horrific diseases.
