I do all of the putter work for a company now based out of Atlanta, GA, Sunset Beach Custom Golf. We have been in business for about 2-1/2 years and have grown in spite of a tough economy. About 95% of our putters are USA milled and that is about to become 100% with our next order.
Since our very first order, we have done our putters on a "Order Placed, Order Built" sort of system. Each putter was crafted specifically for a customer's specs or wishes, from CNC milled base heads, using a huge variety of hosel styles. I hand-shaped each putter from these raw millings, fit the hosel to the head, hit target weights and in most cases, did the finishes, right here in my small shop. Being small and very cozy, this shop became known as the "Sunset Beach Custom Garage". Each putter was different and each one had a special home waiting for it.
For 2011, I wanted to get a jump on the year and create a small batch of putters that were each the first of its look, unique in some way, and each one would be stamped in some way to signify its roots in the garage.
I have four of them completed and another 5 or 6 ready for final clean up and finish applications.
In an effort to move some putters quickly and get some momentum started for 2011, we have priced them at $239 plus shipping, Con. USA. When each one is sold, it comes with a certificate showing it is an "SSB Custom Garage Original" and that it is the first of its kind.
IMHO, these pieces are as close as you will come to a hand-krafted putter in today's market for anything less than $500.
Each putter in this thead is 100% USA made from USA materials and labor.
Check this assortment out and let me know if one turns your head.
More to come as they are finished. When this batch is sold out, we'll revisit our decision to make putters ahead of time and go from there.
Thanks for checking out my post and for allowing me to show a sliver of what I do.

All putters will be shafted to requested length and topped with either a Premio putter grip or Golf Pride Tour Tradition, unless otherwise requested.
