So, I got out of the golf business 4-5 years ago liquidating my putter company and helping set up my partner in his putter company.  Unfortunately, we just didn't charge enough and there isn't enough of a margin on completely custom putters that are milled in the US.  My real job paid too well and I did not want to take the plunge during a bad time in the economy pushing custom putters.

 

It was fun, I made some great friends and some great acquaintances in the golf industry.

 

Now, I am just a golfer.  A pretty decent golfer that loves equipment, has some pretty good "ins" with some patent attorneys at a few of the OEM's and a few high ups at a couple of others.  It has been an adjustment, I actually paid for a putter yesterday, which was extremely WEIRD.  That is the first putter I had bought in 10+ years and only the second club, so I am coming around from that side.

 

I play whatever works, I have no loyalties other than there is one brand of putter that I would NEVER play.  

 

I live in Atlanta. I always have looked at MyGolfSpy but never joined the forum(I don't think I did).

 

 I think that's about it for right now.

I can see why! SGC and Tyson Lamb have a similar head design that catches my eye, I think it's that little angle above the heel .
