Welcome to the Golf Smarter Podcast, Brad.

Thanks, Fred.

Good to be here.

It's good to have you here, and we're live on video from, well, we're recording this, from your studios in Grands Pass, Oregon, just kind of, oh, just over, just a little bit north of Ashland, Oregon, right? About, yeah, 45 minutes north of that. So we're four hours south of Portland. Okay. Right on five. Yeah.

So you're in the middle of nowhere. Pretty much. Yeah. We're close to Bandon. We got that going for us. Oh. When I said close to Bandon, we're like two and a half hours, but that's still close to Bandon. Yeah. Because that's even from an airport, it's a four hour drive unless you fly right in. Right. I've got that some pilot friends. Yeah, I'm sure your customers fly directly into Bandon on their own little planes. Right. Yeah. And I'm actually hoping to start getting my pilot's license in the next year or so that I can just fly over myself. Oh, I thought you had a little kid. I do. Yeah, well, your wife's not going to let that happen.

My grandpa was a pilot in the war.

Like, it's in my blood.

So it's in the blood. You got to get up in the sky. Yeah, it's a good excuse. Yeah. Jeans, man. Can't help it, babe. What am I going to do? It's my grandpa. He wants me to do this. Right? Right? It's a thing. I'll try. Okay. So I am so intrigued by what you do that I'm really

excited to have you on the show. Thank you. Tell me about Bradley Putters, or should I say Bradley

custom putters? Yeah. We make the most custom putters in the world. Like, it's funny talking to a new client on the phone, and they start off by talking about their specs, like, you know, law fly weight, all that, like what they might want engraved in it. And like, guys, that's the last step that we do. That's where other custom putter companies start. But let's talk about who you are as a person. Let's, uh, let's design that into a putter. And so by the time we're done, um, like I'm working on right now where the, this guy's dad is retiring from, uh, being an aerospace engineer and we're going to take some of this honeycomb material he designed. We're going to incorporate that into the putter. We're going to use some cypress wood from Monterey. Like we're going to do it. So he's going to get the putter and it's going to be like, this is the coolest thing ever. And then they're going to say like, but wait, there's more. And it's actually like materials from his life. And that's built into the putter itself. Well, then you just knocked out one of my questions was, what is the most outrageous

request you've ever received? life and that's built into the putter itself well then you just knocked out one of my

questions was what is the most outrageous request you've ever received to make a putter from
