'Makefield Putters' scored the PGA's award for most innovative golf club technology this year.
BENSALEM, Pennsylvania --"Here I am, an engineer and a serious golfer," said Everett Farr."I never really realized how the initial contact of a ball when putted makes such a big difference.""My son's severely autistic. He's 30 now," said Farr."I was forced to go home early to help my wife. The assistant couldn't come in."
"Instead of a project, I'm going to make a company out of this," he said."We kept playing around and we came up with the prototype." Their invention was a putter with three back channels that house adjustable amounts of tungsten, stainless steel, or aluminum cartridges. State-of-the-art technology in their fitting room allows customers to have their playstyles analyzed for the perfect custom club combination.
Makefield Putters took home the award for most innovative new golf club technology at the PGA Show in January 2022. And while they hope their clubs continue to swing across the country, these business partners are simply thrilled to be working together.
