An azalea flower makes for the perfect alignment dot. This putter is made from cherry wood, sent in from the client’s home. Find more pictures and the story of the putter at Bradleyputters.com.

I love adding elements that beg a question. This alignment line is straight and symmetric, bright and colorful, and obviously something special. And when asked about it, my client gets to talk about their love for Spain, since this is a pillar from the flag.

This is a widowmaker shape made from olive wood.

I love hiding Easter eggs in a design. For this one, I matched the face and hair style of the recipient on his family crest. I included his kids’ names around the side, changed one hand to a “hook ‘em horns” style, and then put the longhorn logo as the bottom design. And he’s dropping multiple 30 ft bombs a round with it! I’m taking orders now for spring delivery. Start your golf season off right with a custom putter, and have something to follow along with while you wait for snow to melt!

2023 was a year for rebalancing work and family life. I spent a lot more time with the kids and helping around the house and less time on social media. But I think I’m ready to share more of this work and life balance again, and I miss connecting with a lot of you guys, so I’ll be posting a bit more often this year. And I still plan on making banger putters! This was one of the most detailed designs of the year. You’d need a magnifying glass to properly appreciate everything! The bottom car is the exact rally car that the owner drove, and the top alignment line is part of the Spanish flag. The wood is olive, and there’s a few more sentimental Easter eggs hidden on the side of the putter.

I did a small Random Golf Club secret Santa this year, so I snooped on my recipients Instagram to find something good. I found a post where he talked about being present on the golf course, kind of like how his golden retriever is. It’s a beautiful way to play golf, so I wanted to remind him of that every time he looks at his bag. What’s your favorite on course mantra?

12/15/2023

My client got invited to an Alabama game, where he had an unforgettable experience. He wanted to give a proper “thank you” gift, so he reached out with an idea for a clean putter design. We went with a splash of crimson acrylic, and then engraved the elephant logo on the bottom. Playable from the top, gorgeous detailed design on the bottom.

It’s way past time to get a full putter for Christmas, but I am taking orders for next year! Also, if you know you want to get someone special in your life a putter, but you don’t know where to start, consider giving a gift certificate. I will work directly with that person to design them something epic! Bradleyputters.com/shop/gift

I had a client ask for the Georgia Tech stadium on the bottom of the putter. The tricky part was figuring out exactly how much detail to include, and the problem was that anything less that 100% full detail didn’t look right. So I included everything down to the yard markers. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right!

I’m pretty much done taking Christmas orders, but if you’ve got an idea for a wicked putter next season, now’s a great time to reach out! I’d love to make you something epic like this.

There’s no detail too small when it comes to making the perfect putter. This engraving on the bottom has hidden kids initials, as well as a small lady bug and bumble bee to match the nicknames. There’s stamping initials into metal, and then there’s a Bradley.

The dancing terrapins are cool and all, but the fact that the tambourine is made from an actual Grateful Dead record takes this piece to a whole new level.

I think I’ve done more deadhead putters than any other band out there. What band would you put on your putter?

08/13/2023

Happy lefty day! There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

I spent my whole life struggling to find lefty equipment. That’s why I made sure that my putters could always be made for lefties! Fun fact, around 11% of golfers in the US are lefty, but it seems like closer to 30% of Canadians are lefty thanks to hockey.

This putter is from a long time ago, but someone asked about getting a putter with their dog’s picture on it, and I realized I never posted this gem! Artwork by . Absolutely love how the colors turned out!

07/06/2023

This putter is simply beautiful. It’s an ocean design, with a palm tree logo alignment line. I poured the blue acrylic most of the way up the wood, and then used white UV acrylic to add the waves after hand carving in a 3d effect. Then I topped it off with a clear acrylic pour. There’s 7 internal weights inside to make this putter feel and perform like a dream, so it’s definitely not meant to be a wall hanger!

What ideas do you have for your future putter?

My best friend from college owns a large pet store chain in Canada, and recently merged with another company, which is family-owned. He wanted to give them all a special thank-you gift, so he reached out to me. He knew he could get some wood from their original store and thought about making putters from that, but it was soft and relatively boring wood. So we came up with the idea of using gorgeous wood, and inlaying that original wood as a logo on the bottom, with the alignment on top in the shape of the A in their name. To make the inlay work, I first have to engrave a relief on the white wood, and then a depression on the darker wood. Then I line them up, epoxy it in place, and sand off the cap. Works like a charm!

06/14/2023

I was asked to make a putter for a marine, and we wanted to honor his fallen brothers. So I used a green tip bullet as the alignment line (after popping the primer to make it inert), and then engraved the soldier’s names around the sides, with a design reminiscent of the Vietnam memorial. Then I put the eagle globe and anchor on the bottom, with his name and rank. It doesn’t get any more meaningful than this. I love when a putter gives a chance to share the memory of our greatest heroes. Gone, but never forgotten. Semper Fidelis.

My client for this project wanted to give their dad something special, and mentioned that he’s had 7 holes-in-one. They were all on different courses, so I had him send me the list and I tracked down each layout. Two of the holes were on a course that doesn’t even exist anymore, so I had to go back in time on google earth, then find an old scorecard and measure the holes to determine which was which. Then once I had all the shapes, I had to turn them into a course design that actually flowed, with water in the right spots relative to each green. Took a couple hours just for that! But the final result is something that I’m really proud to show off, and I’m sure will lead to countless stories on the golf course.

My books are open for summer projects! Every putter starts with a phone call, because ideas this good just don’t happen over email. My client didn’t call up with the idea to put the holes on the bottom of this putter. He just knew that he wanted a putter for his dad. Through our conversation, we came up with this idea together. So don’t feel like you need to have much figured out at all before setting an appt with me!

I make a lot of putters as gifts for the golfer who has everything. My client for this one wanted to get his best golfing buddy something that would remind him of all the travels they’ve done together. So I put some of the more special courses’ logos on the bottom, as well as a picture of their foursome standing on the Swilcan bridge. Then for the top alignment line, I took the club from the Winter Park logo, which is where they first started playing together. The bridge was super tricky to get right, but definitely worth the effort!

05/12/2023

I had a client send in 3 shell casings from successful hunts. I drilled holes into the wood, and then set the shells in place. The client wanted some color in the acrylic, but I didn’t want it to darken and hide the bright metal, so I poured a clear acrylic first. I then sanded most of it away and poured a translucent acrylic over top. This kept the metal bright and visible. Then for the third piece, I just cut off the butt end and embedded that on the face.

What cool item do you have sitting in a desk right now that deserves to be captured in your future gamer? If you want to tell its story, there’s no better way than on the golf course after you drain a birdie putt with it!

Christmas orders! You’ve got a week or two left to get the golfer in your life an epic gift that they will cherish for a lifetime. My lead time right now is just about a month, and really complicated projects can take longer than that. Maybe it’s for your dad who just retired and plays every day, and you want something that tells the story of his family and hobbies. Or if you’ve got a sales person who killed it this year, they deserve something special for all those business rounds they’re playing. Or maybe your spouse has taken up golf in the last year, and a custom putter that tells the story of your relationship would be the best gift ever.

Don’t feel like you need to have the whole putter plan before reaching out! I spend a half hour with each client talking about the stories you want to tell, the style of the recipient, and the design elements that could pull it all together. You just need to know that you want a putter, a little about the person, and I’ll walk you through the rest.

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!

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!

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.

There’s something you might not know about Bradley Putters… comment below what you would do with this space!

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!

Another Army themed putter 😍 two coins under acrylic as the alignment, with the army logo wrapped from the face to the bottom. We originally made an Argo head in anticipation of receiving the coins, but when they arrived, they were slightly larger than expected and didn’t fit. So we made a new deeper head and it fits perfectly. That’s the beauty of making these by hand, one by one. Calling an audible is always possible.

There’s so many hidden personal touches on this putter! The guy it was made for owns a tractor dealership in the south, so I created a field scene with a tractor on it, put his dog in the driver seat, added an important number as the model number, and used an icon from his alma mater as the alignment line. It took quite a few back and forths to get the design exactly right, but it was worth it in the end.

This kind of artwork is so well suited for our acrylic engraving method. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Have you checked out the new styles and custom builder on my website? I’m still making improvements and adding styles, but I’m already having people feel comfortable enough to put their order in without a phone call, which means I’m doing something right! I’m always happy to help with the process, but with how many putters we’re planning on doing this year, some added efficiency is appreciated!

When a client wants a hockey themed putter, I only have one speed. Hockey stick wood face, hockey puck behind that, white acrylic as the ice, and clear acrylic on top. I’ve now made it really easy to get a putter similar to one you’ve seen before. There’s a Style section on my website, and you can simply choose the style you want, customize your shape, grip, shaft, and specs, and add any engravings you like. No more guessing how to design it with the custom builder! But if you want a design that you’ve never seen before, then there’s still the custom builder, and we can hop on the phone to make the design a reality.
