Toulon Golf unveils latest Small Batch release – La Jolla

How Toulon Golf tells the story

A small town named La Jolla rests on the cliffs above the sparkling Pacific Ocean, about 10 miles north of San Diego. Spanish for “The Jewel.”

Accessible to all and difficult for all, Torrey has played host to the PGA Tour for over 50 years. It has recently become a favorite stop for the USGA, playing host to the classic U.S. Opens of 2008 and 2021.

These moments of personal greatness created some of the most iconic 18th green celebrations in the game’s history. Small Batch La Jolla pays homage to the great championships celebrated on these cliffs.

La Jolla

At the heart of this putter is its sleek shoulder and bumper design and much more squared profile from address. Toulon spent time studying every aspect of both its San Diego design and its old small batch favorite, the Santa Monica.

The hosel is now slightly inset from the top line, a nod to a classic that has won many times. The hosel stem itself has been softened like the rest of the body.

Toulon is calling La Jolla a ‘melted’ tri-sole. You will see the three sections that are slow-milled and lightly brushed on the sole. But running your fingers over the surface, you’ll feel the delicate transitions from each section to the next. Even more time was spent on the top line thickness and radius, giving La Jolla a more vintage look.

The back bumpers are slimmed and the overall design focus is on the delicate tri-sole. As always, hours were spent slow machining the head so that in its final finished state it would celebrate the intricate process used to create its shape.

Once completed, the head is then hand-polished to produce depth and luster. The La Jolla face is milled with Toulon’s Ultra Fine Double Fly cut.

La Jolla is designed for the modern game, weighing in at a contemporary 350 grams. The sole is minimally engraved with simply the model name, La Jolla, filled with Candy Red paint.

In addition, Toulon have paired it with a special Toulon Lamkin Deep Etched Cord grip and their chrome stepless steel shaft.

The circle fist pump icon in the back cavity pays homage to the many celebrations, while the Toulon brand mark is subdued and left unfilled. Inspired by the player who popularized this design (Toulon can’t say the name in it’s marketing materials, but we’re sure you can guess), the top line is adorned with a simple sight dot and the head is finished in the brand’s Tour Satin Mist.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
