We take custom putters to an unmatched level. Tell your own story every time you step onto the putting green. DM me to get your project on the books!

Matching putters for two friends of my client. 3 b

Matching putters for two friends of my client. 3 boats to represent 3 friends, and an alignment line that means “third” in alphabet flags. Smooth river design, with gorgeous figured wood.

Lots of wild custom projects in the works right now! We took some time to improve processes, software, and tools in the shop, and are now back to running full speed, and even faster than before.

The focus in 2021 is on insane custom projects. There might be some merch here and there, but branding and trinkets doesn’t excite me nearly as much as turning people’s stories and relationships into treasured putters. I don’t want you talking about me or how I handmade this putter, and I don’t really care too much if you’re wearing my name on the course. I want you talking about your friendships, your childhood, your kids, your company, your father, or your hobbies. Come to me with a story, and I’ll turn it into a gamer that will provide 18 holes worth of happy thoughts and conversations.

2020, what a decade! Glad to be on the other side

2020, what a decade! Glad to be on the other side of it, and looking forward to new adventures in 2021. We did a lot of Kobe putters early in the year, and then I took a few months “off” to develop PPE for hospitals, so that was wild. Then we got real crafty with some embedded materials, and our engraving game went to the next level. Really excited for some projects in the works, and looking forward to some golf trips in the spring and summer! Thanks for following along for this journey. Let’s hope 2021 is less exciting than 2020 😂

Here’s an ice fishing putter. I drilled a hole through the putter before pouring the acrylic, and we used a small ice fishing pole as the alignment line. I feel cold just looking at it!

We’re done shipping putters for Christmas! At this point, if you want to give the gift of a Bradley Putter, you’ll want to give them a gift certificate. I’ll work directly with them for around a half hour on the phone coming up with a design plan that is completely custom and special. Then I use Trello software to show the progress during the build, and I guarantee that my clients love their putter every step of the way. It’s a solid month of anticipation and morsels of exciting updates that will be sure to spread the excitement of Christmas well into 2021! Bradleyputters.com/shop/gift.

Sometimes a putter needs that finishing touch to push it over the edge. This is a diamondback rattlesnake skin on a mallet cover, and is guaranteed to turn some heads on the green.

I always love a putter with a good story. This is

I always love a putter with a good story. This is a gift for an uncle that took his nephew on a fishing trip. The nephew snagged some rocks from the river and a fly they used, and sent them to me. I embedded them in a cold blue acrylic, and then engraved the stretch of river on the bottom of the putter. It’s also got a split shot weight as the alignment line. I cut this one close, but it will be under the tree for Christmas!

Here’s a gift for a guy who helped with a remodel on a house. He loves his tools, especially @milwaukeetool, so we embedded a saw blade and 2 star bits as the alignment line. I love how clean this turned out!

The @corporateladderbrewing company sent me a few

The @corporateladderbrewing company sent me a few staves from one of their used barrels, and I turned them into 5 custom putters for their team. The black on top is the scorched inside of the barrel. Can’t wait for them to roll these beauties!

Who doesn’t love a classic @vw bus? For this one

Who doesn’t love a classic @vw bus? For this one, I stabilized some figured maple black, then cut it into the VW shape and poured blue acrylic. We added headlights and a VW symbol as a central alignment dot. Pretty stoked with this look!

This was a really fun project to make. We wanted a Tennessee checkerboard that looks like it’s blending right into the wood. So I found the perfect piece of maple, and then poured orange acrylic over it. We shaped the putter, and then took a picture of the acrylic shape. We digitized it and cut a checkerboard pattern into it, and then poured it with white acrylic and shaped it again. What do you think of this look??

This is the first putter with corks incorporated o

This is the first putter with corks incorporated over a wine barrel, and likely won’t be the last. What’s interesting is how the corks shrink with the acrylic pour. All of these were initially touching, but my theory is that the air trapped inside them is compressed in the pressure chamber, causing them to shrink. I learn something new every day!

We’re getting really close to being finished with Christmas orders. Hoping to ship 99% of them by next week! Really don’t want to have to overnight any on the 23rd this year ha!

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to three putts.

Four years in the books! It’s been a wild ride figuring out how to make this business work. But I couldn’t be happier with where we’re at, and where we’re headed. The main focus is on crazy custom orders with lower volume and more engagement with my clients. I get to know every single person who has one of my putters, and even get FaceTime calls from satisfied customers wanting to show off their joy. Thank you to everyone that has supported my journey, one way or another!

I’ve got a few deals on my website right now. Check it out!

This putter was made to honor my client’s sister

This putter was made to honor my client’s sister who passed away. We embedded her earrings under acrylic, and included some of her ashes in there as well. The wood is leftover from a bar top he made in his house as a special area to remember her. This guarantees that he’ll be telling her story on the golf course for years to come.

Shipped over a dozen putters today, and still have

Shipped over a dozen putters today, and still have a long ways to go before I’ll feel comfortable with the holiday rush. I’m trying to get everything shipped by the 15th just to be safe! Custom Christmas Putter orders are officially closed, but I’ll be launching a custom ball marker and repair tool builder this week for last minute Christmas gifts. Might do a few Black Friday specials, but don’t hold your breath 😂 Plenty slammed as is!

This one looks like opals embedded in the surface

We’re cranking on projects to make sure that everything is done by Christmas. We’ll be shipping almost half of our current inventory within the next week... I also have tons of people requesting custom ball markers and repair tools. That builder is almost done and will be released soon!

The craziest acrylic pour we’ve ever done, by fa

The craziest acrylic pour we’ve ever done, by far. This is the Vermont flag emblem. To make it, we had to first engrave a brown base, and then sand it flat. Then we lined up the artwork in the laser, did a dusting pass to make sure it was perfect, and engraved the yellow section. Then repeat that for the dark green, light green, red, and white. One mistake at any of those levels would have forced us to start all over. But this is perfection.

Masters week is the best week, no matter when it happens. This putter was made with a pine cone, pine straw, and azalea leaf from the Augusta grounds, with a Magnolia wood base. So many stories written into this putter for the client. As close as I’ve ever been to walking the course! I’ve had a few putters played there, but have never been lucky enough myself. Have you?

I’ve had the honor of making many putters for veterans, from one made out of Saddam’s chair, to dog tags, to Air Force wings under acrylic. My putters look so different from anything else on the course, so they beg a question more often than not. And when that happens, these guys are able to talk about their service and experiences, and I just think that’s pretty special.

Thank you to all the veterans out there. Heroes, through and through.

To make this look, I first burn the surface of a maple burl. Then I stabilize the wood and put it in a mold. I’ve tried pouring yellow and green at the same time, but it blends too much. So this time I did a yellow and green pour, and then a straight yellow pour after the first hardened. Next up is a clear pour. I’m definitely going to be using this method a lot more in the future!

Peep those galactic swirls... beautiful colors here. It gets even better in the sunlight!

If you’re wanting a custom putter by Christmas, this is the last week to get one without paying an expedite upcharge. These putters take time to get right, especially custom ones, and I’ll definitely want to ship these by mid December to be safe. Shoot me a DM and let’s get your project on the books!

My favorite part of Christmas is the buildup to th

My favorite part of Christmas is the buildup to the day, from Black Friday to Christmas Eve. Christmas Day usually happens too fast, and then it’s all over, which is almost disappointing.

Election season is the opposite. The 2 years of buildup is stressful and feels like it takes forever. When Election Day finally comes, I can’t wait for it to be over.

Whomever you voted for, or even if you chose not to vote, I hope you have a great day and week, and I hope you have things to be excited about this holiday season and in 2021. I hope people treat you kindly, and I hope that you have friends around you to celebrate or commiserate with. I hope you’re able to show kindness to people who treated you poorly based on your political views, and I hope that you’re able reconcile relationships in 2021.

Your relationships with friends and family will likely have a larger impact on your happiness next year than the result of the election tonight. May there be olive branches throughout the nation tomorrow. God Bless America.

I think the dusting of gold on the side of this one is my favorite part. The canyon running through it from top to bottom makes it possible. Such a unique, special piece of wood. I’m trying to get more creative in the types of gashes and pockets that I plan into these putters, but it’s so hard to visualize the final result when I’m just staring at a piece of wood in a bin... I can definitely feel myself getting better at it, and I’m working on methods to make sure that the final putter looks as much like my initial vision as possible. It’s only taken 4 years to get to this point...
