Austad Award Winner

Sioux Falls Family Business of the Year Award

The Austad Family
In 1963 Oscar Austad started the first golf catalogue business from the Austad home. It was truly a family business, as mom would type up the catalogues, the kids would put the labels on them and everyone helped pick orders when they came in. Today, operating 11 retail stores in the Midwest, the 2nd and 3rd generations continue to provide the service that made Oscar so successful. “Bend over backwards to take care of the customer, and they will be your friend for life.” From the early years with the SOB’s (Sons of Bosses) to recently serving on the Associations’ Board of Directors, the Austad family has been instrumental in promoting family business education! Congratulations Austad Family!
