No. 7 · Midiron Fields · Par 4 · 388 yds
Course goods for students of the game.
Midiron draws the documents the game already speaks in — yardage-book plates, green contours, the hickory taxonomy — and writes the course-craft to match. No logo to advertise, no punchline to explain.
The book says 147 to the front, and the book does not care how you feel about it.
Nobody was dressing the golfer whose identity is the craft.
Golf merch splits three ways: hype logos you rent someone else’s script for, party-golf loudness, and pun tees that die in a drawer. Midiron prints the fourth thing — the course itself, drawn like pages from an architect’s field book. A hat with a pencil-circled 3 is welcome at any club where a joke tee is not.
Priced like a dozen good balls, drawn like a club history.

MID IRON = the 2. The long, honest, unglamorous shot — the brand.
