From DJ Booths to Fairways, SOSUPERSAM Finds Her Flow as a Hidden Hypegolfer

Hidden Hypegolfers showcases people you might not expect to see on the golf course. But look closer, and it makes perfect sense. These are artists, musicians, athletes, and other creative individuals who seamlessly integrate golf into their lives. They aren’t changing who they are, just adding another passion. They bring the same dedication, style, and focus from their primary craft to the golf course, where performance, self-expression, and culture come together. The series, in partnership with Oakley, emphasizes how these multi-talented individuals blend sport and style in all aspects of their lives.

Okay, so I’m SOSUPERSAM, a DJ – basically, my life is all about music, energy, and bringing people together, whether I’m spinning at a huge party or working on a creative project. But golf? That’s a totally different vibe. It’s way more chill, slower paced, and honestly, it’s just me out there. People probably wouldn’t guess I golf, and that’s exactly why I’m part of this ‘Hidden Hypegolfer’ series – it’s a side of me nobody really sees!

Duenas didn’t start playing golf because of the game itself, but because it was a way to be with her family. She explains she took it up about five years ago to connect with her parents and enjoy the outdoors. What started as a family activity slowly became something personal for her – a peaceful escape from the stresses of everyday life.

Golf remains a powerful connection to her father. For her, it’s less about how well she plays and more about understanding the people she plays with, especially her dad. She describes golf as the main way she and her father connect with each other and the world around them. Learning the game also helped her get to know her dad better, strengthening their bond both on and off the golf course.

When she’s on the golf course, everything feels more relaxed. She doesn’t feel any need to win or play well. As she explains, she’s not focused on competition at all – she’s just enjoying the moment and playing at her own pace. This approach reflects how she lives her life: creatively, mindfully, and with an open mind. For her, the ideal golf outing isn’t about a full 18 holes, but a casual nine, focused on putting and chipping, with plenty of snacks.

Even when she’s not actively working, her creativity is always present. It’s actually changed how she approaches golf. She describes it as solving puzzles within a three-dimensional space, where each hole presents a unique challenge and she needs to use her skills to figure it out. This way of thinking makes sense, considering her background in creating sound and atmosphere. She sees each hole like a movie set, demanding a good sense of feel, precise timing, and small, careful changes to succeed.

Los Angeles has really strengthened her ability to blend different styles. She found the city’s golf community surprisingly welcoming and relaxed, much more open than she expected. It’s a place where fashion and athletics naturally come together, which feels comfortable to her. Her personal style is classic but with a unique edge – a bit inspired by menswear with a laid-back, effortless vibe, similar to the Olsen sisters. She brings that same easy style to the golf course, using it as another outlet for self-expression rather than trying to create a new image.

Oakley and similar brands fit seamlessly into SOSUPERSAM’s unique style, becoming part of her on-course look. The brand views golf as a blend of athleticism and self-expression, integrating it into broader culture, much like Duenas already does. She prioritizes how her clothing and equipment complement her personal style and how she plays, focusing on a natural and flowing aesthetic rather than strict golf attire.

Honestly, golf gives me something I don’t get a lot of elsewhere: time to breathe. It’s actually tough finding the time, though. Between being a mom, making music, and just life in general, getting out on the course feels like a really intentional choice. It’s a chance to pause, to disconnect. It’s a real challenge to slow down, ditch the signal, and just not be reachable. And maybe that’s why I keep going back – it helps balance everything else out. My life is usually pretty hectic and full of connection, so golf is something quieter. It’s still a social game, but it gives me enough space to just reset and recharge. For me, it’s a place to go when everything else feels like it’s constantly moving.
