17 Quick Questions with Byron Morgan

I recently caught up with Byron Morgan, one of the most talented putter craftsmen on the planet.

If you have already rolled a Byron, you’ll now where I am coming from. If you have never rolled an 006 or an 007, you owe it to yourself to try one out. You’ll be buying one shortly thereafter. I own a few Byron 007 putters and consider them to be top-notch flat sticks.

Byron Morgan himself, to us internet golf forum surfers anyway, may be a sort of enigma. He appears to be more visible in his shop rather than on the net, which is pretty cool, considering three quarters of his current putter sales is via the internet. Many of us will never have the unique opportunity of stopping by his shop in Coastal California to see what he has going.

Oh yes, Mr. Morgan remains quite accessible, despite the fact that he turns out fewer flat sticks in a month than you would think. It makes my own Byron putter feel ever so much more special. Let’s take a quick look and see what is up with Byron.

1. How are things going for Byron putters right now?

Things are very good.

2. Is the state of the current economy hurting putter sales?

No.

3. Are sales stronger in the United States or Japan?

Japan.

4. Tell me about the Channel Islands putter and how it came about?

I made a handmade for Drew (drewspin) ; he showed me his ideas and I made him the putter.

Frontal view of the new Channel Islands (inspired by Drew) Byron putter.

5. Has it been well received by your loyal putter fans?

Yes.

Wow, this is one cool putter. The Byron Channel Islands at your service.

6. Are things much more hectic without Drew helping out anymore?

No.

7. Will Turfsurfer.com ever come to fruition?

Byronputters.com is coming.

8. If it does, will there be putters in stock at all times?

Yes, the 006 and the 007 models will be in stock.

This black rainbow finish looks hot on this 007 model putter.

9. Not including customs, approximately how many putters does Byron turn out in a month’s time?

100 putters per month is about all I can make.

10. How many “custom” putters do you turn out in a month?

15-25 custom putters per month.

11. Hey Byron, what do you have in your golf bag?

Driver – Callaway FT-5, VS 88 shaft
3 wood – Taylor Made V Steel
5 wood – Taylor Made V Steel
Irons – Ping Eye 2
Wedges – Ping Eye 2
Putter – Byron SBE Prototype

12. How accessible is Byron at his workshop and can passers by and John Q. Public stop in unannounced?

Yes they can stop in the shop.

The new Byron Longneck Baja 006 putter finished in oil can.

13. What are your top five favorite golf courses that you have ever played?

a. Pebble Beach
b. Olympic Club
c. Pasatiempo
d. Torrey Pines
e. Los Serranos South

14. What would you say if I told you (and I did!) that I sold off all my Cameron putters and even traded in a customized Newport (I did!) in that was hand stamped with my name because I like his product so much better now?

Thank you very much!

15. Is there anything else that is new coming out from Byron?

The Captain Morgan headcover.

The new Captain Morgan putter head cover.

You’ll need this Cpatain Morgan prototype putter for your new headcover.

16. Aside from his own stuff, what types of putters does Byron own or appreciate?

The Ping Anser Scottsdale, George Low Bristol, Tommy Armour IMG5 and others…

17. Are most of the current putter sales sold via the world-wide web or word of mouth?

75% of the sales are via the web and 25% are word of mouth.

My personal and current Byron gamer, the 007 in American Stainless Steel.

Byron putters are available in a variety of styles, if you like putters a lot, do your self a very big favor and see what Byron Morgan has to offer. Can’t afford that coveted 009? Well, Byron might just have something custom and well within your price range. If you don’t see anything that catches your eye immediately, go large and have Byron make you a handmade flat stick. In the meantime, stay tuned for Byronputters.com.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green.

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time.

Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
