William Murray Golf is full of random, unexpected delights – just like Bill Murray

Actor and comedy legend Bill Murray has earned an off-screen reputation for being nearly everywhere and nowhere all at once. An enthusiastic photo-bomber of engagement pictures, crasher of bachelor parties and impromptu guest bartender, he seems to operate at his own speed and by his own rules — if not in his own universe — just about everywhere but the golf course.

So I wasn’t holding out much hope that the Murricane would touch down in a Marina del Rey conference room last month to review spring 2018 designs for the collection that bears his name. (“Bill is notoriously unreliable and lives by his own schedule,” a media representative for the label had already warned me via email. “There’s a chance, but you never can be 100%.”)

Launched online in September in partnership with humor and entertainment website theChive.com and the six golf-loving Murray brothers — Brian, Ed, Bill, Andy, John and Joel — William Murray Golf is a celebrity clothing line. But it’s a celebrity clothing line the way Bill Murray is a celebrity: it doesn’t take itself too seriously, it has heart and whimsy and performance where it counts, and it’s full of random, unexpected delights.

The Murray in the mix this first Monday in April is Joel — the Los Angeles-based writer-director-actor, youngest of nine Murrays and the chief executive of Murray Bros. LLC. He’s here to review proposed design ideas, which he’ll then disseminate to his five brothers for comments, suggestions and tweaks.

Along the way, he and label executives, including William Murray Golf co-founder and CEO Kerry Michaels, walk me through designs, explaining the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) references to the family, the Murray brothers’ love of golf and their most famous sibling.
