(a) For purposes of this article, “local agency” includes all districts. Except as otherwise provided by law, money, excluding restitution to victims, that is not the property of a local agency that remains unclaimed in its treasury or in the official custody of its officers for three years is the property of the local agency after notice if not claimed or if no verified complaint is filed and served. At any time after the expiration of the three-year period, the treasurer of the local agency may cause a notice to be published once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in the local agency. At the expiration of the three-year period, money representing restitution collected on behalf of victims shall be deposited into the Restitution Fund or used by the local agency for purposes of victim services. If a local agency elects to use the money for purposes of victim services, the local agency shall first document that it has made a reasonable effort to locate and notify the victim to whom the restitution is owed. With respect to moneys deposited with the county treasurer pursuant to Section 7663 of the Probate Code, this three-year period to claim money held by a local agency is extended for an infant or person of unsound mind until one year from the date their disability ceases.

Unfortunately, I don’t feel like you can have one without the other. Designing the putters with the intent of machining them helps dictate how they are drawn. Machining the putters helps dictate how they are designed. The chicken or the egg. Couldn’t tell you.

My golf bag has recently found a very cozy spot, way back in the corner of the back hallway in the shop. It hasn’t gotten to see the grass of a golf course in a while. As busy as I am with the putters I don’t get to play as much as I’d like to. Right now, I’ve got an older set of Titleist MB’s from 2014 PW-4 iron, Titleist TMB 3 iron, 713 D3 Driver, 713 3 Wood and Hybrid, SM6 Vokey Wedges 52°, 56° and not a putter in sight. Every time I stick one in my bag, it either gets snagged by my younger brother or sold to someone who walks into the shop.

Being new to the industry, as a manufacturer and not just a player, I sat down and put some questions to paper and sent them off to Logan. I wanted to ask some questions I think the majority of you would want to know the answers to and Logan was kind enough to take some time out of his hectic schedule and answer them for us.

I use an array of materials such as carbon steels, stainless, copper, brass, titanium, aluminum, Damascus, and other exotic materials frequently. I never try to shy away from anything, and I will do my best to take on any requests (within reason). Am I still waiting on someone to send me a brick of gold to make a putter out of, any takers?

And, if you haven’t read the review we posted head on over to it HERE. There you can read more about the work Logan is creating.

It’s tough running a boutique style golf company; you’re entirely at the mercy of the people. I get one shot with each person, period. I must do everything I can to make that shot count. Starting from the first interaction to the completion of the putter, everything counts. Being able to be that connected to each client presents a very challenging task. I regularly work between 12-14-hour days and then go home to answer and respond to anywhere from 20-70 emails and messages every night. That makes for long days, It’s a commitment that I didn’t understand in the beginning, but now realize how truly disciplined you must be to make it happen in this industry. I try to do my absolute best to make a personal connection with everyone that places an order for a custom putter.

However, if you want to ask a question to Logan feel free to leave one below in the comments section. I’ll be sure to pass it along to him, and we’ll do our best to get it answered and posted.

Golf has played a massive role in my career as a putter maker. It’s crucial to know the game of golf when designing putters because so much of putter design is feel. Being able to understand what feels good is HUGE. Golf has given me the ability to use my hands as a tool whenever I make something new. I was introduced to the game of golf at a very young age. The etiquettes and mindset that you need to play the game of golf have found their way into my daily life

One of my first interactions with Logan was on the phone. The fact he was eager to get on the phone and discuss what we could do together was pretty cool. A lot of people, especially in my age bracket, are quick to shun the younger generations. I’m guilty, and I know a lot of you are as well. To see a young man dedicate the majority of his time to learn and grow as a designer and a fabricator is refreshing. To say I was shocked to learn Logan is only 21 years old is an understatement.

Initially, this Q&A section was part of the REVIEW we posted yesterday. But, that would have made it a seriously LONG read. I like writing about new companies but sometimes you have to know when to say when. So we decided to break this up into two posts. One for the review and then this post where Logan answered some questions we sent him.

(b) For purposes of this section, “infant” and “person of unsound mind” have the same meaning as given to those terms as used in Section 1441 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

The demand for personalization today is more prominent than ever. You can get anything customized or personalized these days. From shoes to cars, nothing is out of reach to have your personal touch added to if you can find the right venue and price tag to get it done. I’ve been stamping my initials on golf clubs since I was a kid. It might not have always looked good or professional, but it was something that felt personal. Something as simple as a few initials turns a product that may have been produced by the thousands, into a one-of-a-kind piece. Being able to say, “this is the only one in the world like this,” is a powerful statement.

Thanks, Logan for taking the time to answer these questions. As I mentioned earlier, we had many others but I didn’t want to overwhelm him with questions. He’s a busy guy you know.

Putters are indeed the black sheep of everyone’s golf bag. Few and far between tend to be a match to everything else in the bag. For most golfers (including me) it’s never apparent why some putters tend to work better than others for no apparent reason. One week the hole looks as big as a trash can, and the next you would swear it’s smaller than the ball. Above all, a putter needs to work. Style and flare are a welcome addition to a great putter, but function always needs to come first and foremost. I’m sure everyone can stand in some agreement with me that we all have that rusty, dinged up, raggedy gripped, a hunk of junk that is standing on deck in the closet ready for action when your current putter loses its magic.

I honestly had about 10-15 more questions for this Q&A but I wanted to leave a few out so when we get him on the Podcast there’s something to talk about. Yes, the podcast is coming and it’s coming soon. With that being said, we feel there still needs to be a little mystery to the brand. Hopefully, you get some answers you might have been looking for and you’ll be even more intrigued to check out his work.

As 2019 progresses, I honestly have no idea where this journey will take me. I am excited to say that I will take on the rest of this year with everything I’ve got and make sure to keep cranking out putters

I have a lot of them. I’ve tried to pull a lot of my putter head designs, shapes, curves, and sweeps from putters that had always seemed to find their way sneaking back into my bag when nothing else seemed to do the trick. Working from pieces of dozens of different canvases and smashing them all together with my style and flare to create something that resembles a putter. Something as soon as you set it behind the ball, the first thought that comes into your head is, “that looks about right.” The perfect putter shape is a bit like Sasquatch. Some have claimed to have seen it, but none with real proof. Luckily, for all of us, it all comes down to personal preference, and that’s something I strive to connect with on a personal level with each client.

Every putter is like a puzzle for me. With the growth of new ideas and designs daily, I am always tasked with coming up with some new solution to a problem I didn’t have yesterday. How do I hold that, how can I machine that feature, are these two metals compatible for a weld, where do I even start…? These are problems that find their way into my every day and are the roots that I grow from. The most satisfying part of creating putters is the skillset I gain with each new project I take on. A friend of mine calls this the “Everlasting tuition of life.” It gives me great satisfaction to know that every putter leaving the door has challenged me and has allowed me to learn something new and stretch my imagination.

With so many things being mass produced these days, having something unique and different is special. CNC machining or (computer numeric controlled) machining is significant in the putter industry right now. It gives designers and putter makers the ability to create one of a kind, unique pieces of work that are completely specific to the individual. You can come up with a new design and make 1. Not 10, not 100, not 10,00 just 1, having the ability to prototype like that is what has created this massive demand for CNC milled putters, in my opinion.

Writer and founder of the golf blog The Breakfast Ball. My wife will tell you I'm obsessed with the game, she's right! It's that obsession which drives me to become a better player and make this site enjoyable for everyone.

Being able to execute these elaborate ideas and designs is a whole other beast. I spend hours and hours each day programming, drafting, and designing as these ideas get crazier and more involved. I do everything I can to not discourage my client’s ideas and suggestions. If we can figure out a way to put a man on the moon, then I can come up with a way to make a putter look like a Bat Mobile. It might kill me in the process, but I can make it happen. I am always looking for a new project to take on that will challenge my abilities and sanity as a designer/machinist.
