We take custom putters to a whole new level. The ultimate treat-yo-self or gift for the golfer who has everything.

I’ve had this @perfectpracticegolf putting mat i

I’ve had this @perfectpracticegolf putting mat in the shop for a while, but it was against a wall so only righties could use it. I moved it to the center of the front area, and now I’ve got to make 10 in a row every morning before starting work. And I’ve got a couple calls today, which means I’ll be putting through most of them.

I’ve also been struggling on figuring out where to focus during the putt. I’m going to try focusing on the exact dimple where I want to hit the ball and see how that goes. What do you focus on when you are putting?

My client for this project wanted something specia

My client for this project wanted something special for his wedding. He got married at @the_greenbrier, so we engraved the front of the building with a horse drawn carriage waiting to the side. The wood alone is epic, but the bottom takes this piece to the next level!

We’ve got 15+ putters shipping out next week, which means the books are open for your next putter! Whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, birthday, retirement, or just a Tuesday, there’s nothing in the world like a Bradley putter. They feel and perform even better than they look! Shoot me a DM today and let’s get your project started. Typically 1-2 month lead time, and $1-2 grand depending on the complexity. Also, I guarantee that you’ll love it!

Here’s a putter that’s on the simpler side of things. I mixed dark and light greens to produce a dynamic color scheme on a rich, warm wood base. Then for the alignment, I engraved a simple nail as a nod to my client’s carpentry background. And on the bottom, we originally planned a sweeping view of a hole at his course, but instead opted for an outline of Vancouver Island. So happy with how this design came together!

My client wanted a tuna themed putter. So I poured

My client wanted a tuna themed putter. So I poured a layer of blue acrylic on the wood, and then 3d printed a tuna tail for the alignment. I painted the body silver, and then the spines yellow. We originally tried to make the whole thing out of teak wood, but it was too soft after stabilizing, so we did a maple mid section and a teak base. Love the super clean look!

We’re gearing up for Christmas orders already. Don’t wait if you know that you’re going to want one! This putter took several months to get right after a lot of minor changes. It’s always better to be done early than finish late!

Here’s a putter that’s headed off to a retiring pharmacist who loves Hawaii. What a gorgeous piece of wood!

One of the most challenging flag projects yet. I had to create separate molds for the inner puzzle piece and square so that I could make each individual red and white piece, before gluing them together. Then I had to make the black and gold wood pieces with an offset angle cut, and then add internal weights and actually make the thing putt. Stoked with how it all came together!

Sometimes all you need is a darker wood and a blue

Sometimes all you need is a darker wood and a blue and green swirled acrylic. We’ve been playing with matching the engraved text color to the acrylic swirl, and it just looks super cool. Especially with a black shaft, which we have powder coated here locally in town. In fact we get our supplies as much as possible locally!

1. Wood comes from @justunderthebark 10 minutes north of the shop.
2. Lead gets poured 11 minutes north by a local lead company that normally makes special rooms for hospitals.
3. The gloss gets applied by my friend @reinhart_jesse just north of town.
4. Shafts get powder coated 7 minutes south by @uprooter_weedwrench.

Your support of my small business ends up supporting several businesses in my community.

I made this putter for my client go gift to her bo

I made this putter for my client go gift to her boyfriend. He loves the show Lost, their cat, and going to the river. So I engraved an icon from the show on the bottom and added an x-ray image of a cat in the middle. Then I embedded rocks from their favorite river spot in the acrylic on top.

This putter was a gift for a veteran who specializ

This putter was a gift for a veteran who specialized in handling ammo, and loves a lake with a cool ship wreck. So I matched the color of the lake on top and engraved the wreck as the alignment line. Then on the bottom, I cut off the backs of several military rounds and embedded them in the wood. There’s at least 18 holes worth of stories incorporated into this design!

When you’re looking for a gift for the golfer in your life who is impossible to buy for, reach out and let’s see if we can come up with a design that will look gorgeous, tell a story, and drain putts. Current lead time is 1-2 months, and it’s not too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts!

I found this elk shed deep in the woods of Eastern

I found this elk shed deep in the woods of Eastern Oregon a few years ago, and have been wanting to do something with it since then. The branches are thick and flat, so I started experimenting with cutting and lasering them. Turns out that it machines relatively easily! The weird thing is that it smells like burnt hair during the laser cutting part… but after sanding off the burnt edges, it turns out so naturally gorgeous.

I just dropped 20 of these on the website. That’s the most I’ll be able to get out of this shed, and finding one this big and with such flat surfaces ain’t easy. So hop over to bradleyputters.com/shop/elk and snag one before they’re gone! I’ll ship all of them out tomorrow.

Birthday gift for a guy who owns a metal manufactu

Birthday gift for a guy who owns a metal manufacturing business. We took some rods from their business and embedded them as alignment lines. Super short turnaround, with less than 2 weeks from order to delivery! When you’re looking for the perfect gift for the golfer who has everything, reach out to me and we’ll design something that will turn heads and tell stories for years to come.

It’s crazy looking back at all the different put

It’s crazy looking back at all the different putters I’ve made over the last 5+ years. We’ve had to create entirely new processes so many times just to make people’s ideas and stories come to life. I can’t wait to work with you on your next putter! We’ll spend time on the phone spitballing ideas until we both agree on a path forward, and then you’ll get picture updates every step of the way. The process usually takes less than 2 months, and costs 1-2 grand. And because you’re spending good money for a putter that has never existed before, so you don’t know exactly what you’re getting, I guarantee you’ll love it. I won’t stop until you’re happy! Shoot me a DM today and let’s get started!

I’m going through pics of old putters and postin

I’m going through pics of old putters and posting a lot of my favorites to my story. But this one deserves a full post. This is a Koa widowmaker with gator leather engraved on the top, and a matching head cover. The cool part? The client for this project harvested that gator himself. Sure, hunting isn’t for everyone, but you can’t argue with how much of a flex this is at the country club. I’ve heard that the owner is now known as the “gator putter guy.”

Let’s get wild idea on the books! My favorite projects typically start with “I don’t know if this is possible, but…” What crazy thing could we do for you??

My client for this project follows the artist @nor

Love this lacrosse-themed putter. Bright orange la

Love this lacrosse-themed putter. Bright orange lacrosse stick for the alignment, with a purple matrix acrylic on the back. For that, I torch the wood first, then add colored acrylic in all the valleys of the burl, and then pour clear acrylic over top to add a ton of depth.

My putters are the best conversation starters on the course, and have been known to make grown men cry when they receive on as a gift. Whether you choose to treat-yo-self to a custom putter, or get one as an anniversary/retirement/birthday gift, I’ll work with you every step of the way to design a putter that will be cherished! I start every project with a 30 min phone call to make sure we’re on the same page. Shoot me a DM and get on my books today!

Making memories for a lifetime. 9 months ago Ryan was in the ICU with kidney failure. Now he’s a hyper 4 year old learning to love golfing with daddy. Thankful beyond words.

Easily some of the most gorgeous wood I’ve ever

Easily some of the most gorgeous wood I’ve ever used for a putter. Not only is it insanely figured, but even the grain is detailed and wavy. Definitely worth zooming in!

We’re going to be shipping off roughly 1/3 of our existing orders next week, which means that we’ve got room for your creation! Here’s how the process works:

1. You shoot me a dm here, or fill out the contact form on my website. We set up a time to chat on the phone.

2. The phone call typically takes 30 min. We talk about the design ideas for the putter, and spitball back and forth until we’re both excited about it.

3. You get added to a Trello board for the project, where you get picture updates as we make the block, pour the acrylic, design the engravings, add the weights, do the shaping, shaft it, and gloss it. It’s a collaborative process every step of the way.

4. If at any point you’re not stoked with the look, since every piece of wood is totally unique, I’ll tweak it or even start the project over from scratch if it’s not what you were envisioning. I just want you to love the thing and tell all your friends about it!

5. The putter is then guaranteed for life. I want you to use it and not baby it!

Let’s get your project started! Typical lead times are 6-8 weeks. But if you need something sooner, I can possibly make that happen. Let’s talk!

One of the more creative alignment lines I’ve ev

One of the more creative alignment lines I’ve ever done. For this anniversary putter, I used magnolia wood that is special to the couple, and took a line from a song at their wedding and engraved the sound wave was the alignment. For alignments, I love doing elements that are mostly straight and narrow, but on second look, there’s something unique about them that leads into a whole smorgasbord of stories. It’s definitely a Peter Pan “happy thought” for your putting stroke!

Neither the client or myself had this idea before our phone call, but through the half hour discussion about their life together and some of the happiest moments, this idea developed. Don’t feel like you need to have a fully-fleshed idea before reaching out. The magic happens through collaboration!

What better way to show off your class ring than i

What better way to show off your class ring than in your putter? My client for this project didn’t wear it anymore, but wanted to do something special with it. So I cut off the top, embedded it in the middle of this widowmaker, and engraved the stadium around the ring so that the M sits right at the middle of the field. Then I sealed everything under a layer of clear acrylic. Stoked with the final result!

My client for this project wanted to incorporate t

My client for this project wanted to incorporate their grandfather’s cane into the putter. So I took a small portion of the bottom of the cane and used our laser engraver to cut it into the shape of the original cane, and used that as the alignment line on this gorgeous wood. What cool memento do you have hanging around the house that would be 100x cooler to carry with you on the course?
