Custom putters unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Golf’s finest heirlooms.

Big update: I’m now the long term CEO of the Gra

Big update: I’m now the long term CEO of the Grants Pass Family YMCA! This position directly aligns with my passion for helping my community. The past four months as interim CEO have been some of the most rewarding of my life, and I couldn’t say no when the offer was presented.

Now what does that mean for putters? I’m going to do my best to keep making as many as possible, but that number will likely be 1-2 a month. When I’ve got capacity to make one, I’ll be posting an instagram story question where you can pitch your theme/reason for getting one and the price you’d pay. I’ll then select the best fit for my schedule and set up a phone call with that person.

It’s definitely gonna be a lot harder to get your hands on a putter moving forward, but I’m not just going to take the highest bid every time! Stories matter, and I will be factoring that in greatly.

Thanks for all your support these last 8 years. It’s been a pleasure getting to know so many of you, and I cherish our friendships.

My client asked me to make a putter for a groom that got married last year in Chicago. They took pictures at the art institute, so I couldn’t help but try to incorporate that fine art in my own style. Easily one of the most complicated engravings I’ve ever done!

I haven’t posted in quite a while, and that’s because I’m currently the interim CEO at the Grants Pass YMCA. It took all my free time just to get the Christmas putters done on time, but I pulled it off! From here on, I’ll only be taking 2-3 putters on a month as I focus my efforts on using the YMCA to make my home town of Grants Pass into the best possible version of itself. Thanks for all of your support through the years!

The fine art of putting. I made this putter for a

The fine art of putting. I made this putter for a charity raffle based off a picture I took of the upper Rogue River. The guy who won it thought it was just a wall hanger, until he made a 6 ft birdie putt with his very first roll. Sure, you could hang this on a wall with your other paintings. But there’s nothing quite like dropping bombs with literal artwork.

I’ve had to spend quite a bit of time volunteering with my local YMCA recently, since I’m the board president. We had a big retreat that required a lot of planning, and now that it’s over, I’m back to dedicating a lot more time in the shop. I’ve got a few INSANE pieces in the works and I can’t wait to show you!

My books are open for new projects. Orders taken now will be completed by Christmas, but I can only take on a dozen or so before I’ll close the Christmas books. I spend a half hour with each person on the phone working up the design, and I make every putter with my own two hands. I’ve also got a relatively busy December, so I’ll need to ship orders by Dec 15. If you call me in November wanting a Christmas putter, it will be too late!

The difference from the alcohol spray to the gloss

When a doctor reached out and wanted to include a

When a doctor reached out and wanted to include a bunch of medicine caps from their work in the top of their putter, I knew I had my work cut out to rise to the challenge. I couldn’t just drop them randomly in acrylic, because the putter head is too small and it wouldn’t end up looking random, but just messy.

So I organized the caps and found a design my client liked before carefully encasing it. Then I added the rod of Asclepius as the alignment line, and got to work on the bottom. He wanted something to remind him of Sheep Ranch, so I painted holes 16 and 17 looking toward the ocean.

I’ve been busy making putters, I just haven’t had a ton of time to post them! But I’m cranking through the summer back log and am just about ready to tackle Christmas orders. Those typically fill up fast, so don’t wait until November or it likely won’t happen. I’m excited to see what ideas y’all have in mind for some more epic putters!

How does someone treat themselves when they make it into the Major League Baseball hall of fame? They send me a baseball bat, and I use some of that wood as an alignment line, and also as the background for an engraving of him catching the final out of the National League championship game. I also added an image of his championship ring, and managed to make it look 3D!

A client asked for an x wing in a putter, but I didn’t want to just throw one in the acrylic like it’s floating in space since that would be boring. So I figured out how to make it look like it’s rising from the swamp in Dagobah. I did a dark pour for the swamp water, a mist pour, then a clear pour over top. I made the swamp junk by allowing the green acrylic to get sticky before stringing it over the wings. It took a while to get everything perfect, but it’s finally done!

I’m wrapping up my spring projects now, and am taking custom orders for August and September delivery now.

I keep getting tagged in the Arby’s burger drive

I keep getting tagged in the Arby’s burger driver, so here’s a throwback to the hamburger putter I made a few years ago! It’s got every juicy detail, down to the sesame seeds on top. Been a while since I made a food-themed putter, but maybe one of y’all will get inspired by this piece and come up with a new idea for your own putter!

I’ve always wanted to try turning an old persimm

I’ve always wanted to try turning an old persimmon wood driver into a putter. Not gonna lie, it was even more difficult than I thought it would be! Especially since I kept the original top. That meant there was no flat surface for drilling holes or lining up the engraver, so I had to pull out every trick in the book. But I couldn’t be happier with the final result!

This was a gift from a brother for a 60th birthday, and here’s the message I received: “What an outstanding idea turning the old persimmon driver into a putter, and also outstanding execution, what a work of art. It truly made turning 60 less painful.”

What do you get that special person in your life who loves golf and is impossible to buy for? There’s nothing like a Bradley Putter.

My client wanted an 85th birthday present for his Grandpa, whose family started Vic’s grocery stores around 100 years ago as a “rolling store” out of a truck. I found the iconic bridge from their hometown, matched the look of the church in 1933, and placed their truck rolling over that very bridge. There’s a few generations worth of stories wrapped up in this one image!

My client wanted to get a masterpiece putter for his dad, who loves fly fishing. So for the top, I 3D printed and hand painted a brown trout rising to take a dry fly. Then on the bottom, I engraved Dunskey castle, one of their favorite places to visit. Nothing but happy memories here.

It’s time to get on the books for Father’s Day! I’ve been told by many dads that their Bradley Putter was the greatest gift they’ve ever received, and one client even said that it was only the third time he’s ever seen his dad cry.

This weekend only, get a screaming deal on a second matching putter for yourself. There’s nothing quite like sharing putters made from the same tree. Head to Bradleyputters.com/fathersday and submit your design request today!

My client wanted a special 40th birthday present f

My client wanted a special 40th birthday present for her husband. He owns a construction company, and has a tattoo on his arm of a picture of his dad and him on the beach when he was a kid. One of their favorite pictures shows him and his son on the beach in a similar pose, so I engraved that on the bottom of his putter, ensuring to capture the detail of his tattoo on his arm.

For the top, I embedded a saw blade under clear acrylic. The original color of the blade was red, so I sanded that off to reveal the bright metal underneath.

On the sides, we incorporated his anniversary date, and his daughter’s initials captured within her heartbeat.

I’ve finished updating my website and custom putter request form. There’s now three levels of custom putters available. Simply answer some questions about the design you want, and I will walk you through the process from then on! No more confusing builder that you’re not really supposed to use anyways…

Check out the new site and let me know what you think!

When a jeweler asks for a putter with gold nuggets

When a jeweler asks for a putter with gold nuggets and a diamond alignment line, you know I’m gonna have fun with it.

I’ve built an archive on my website for all my past putters! Well, they’re not all uploaded yet, but I’ll be adding a few more each day. It took me forever to get the back end templates right, but it’s perfect. Just go to my website and click “gallery” and start exploring!

I’ve wanted to do a super detailed Harry Putter for a while now, and finally got the chance! This putter has Hogwarts on the bottom, with students on boats approaching the castle. The top alignment is the elder wand, and the initials on the side are made with a Gryffindor scarf and the golden snitch.
