Byron Morgan works some magic- Custom Shop

[golfluvzme]

I had a putter laying around that a neighbor had milled for me a few years ago at his work. It was nice, spent a little time in my bag, but eventually was replaced by a Cameron............and several others over the years. I was reading a post about a fellow who sent a putter to Tom Slighter to have a hosel welded on and it got me to thinking. I contacted Byron Morgan, formerly of John Byron Golf, and he was more than up to the job.

I told him about what I was looking for and fired off the head. He contacted me, the day it arrived and had already welded up the hosel and would get pics my way when he had a chance. Well, Christmas orders being what they are, he was tied up for a couple of weeks. Just last Friday I got an email and a pic of my putter, finished up.

WOW! It doesn't even look like the same head. What started out to be a new hosel has turned into giving an old dog new life. I was blown away at the handshaping, new hosel, and total refinishing that Byron did for me. I believe the face has some stamping, as well, but don't have it in-hand, so I'll have to wait for that.

If you are thinking of having a custom putter milled, or handmade, you owe it to yourself to at least give Byron a call. He is 100% customer oriented and a master craftsman, in my opinion. Heck, just look at what he turned my "has-been" into.

Well, enjoy the pics and feel free to leave any comments. I always appreciate a note or two.

Thanks, LaMont in AZ

thats really neat, how much does a job like that run by the way? does altering the hosel like that alter the way the ball comes off the face? the flat grey finish is great and hopefully you have another opition besides the scotty. is there other places around that do the same kind of custom job?
