In a celebration of spring, Sugarloaf Social Club has joined forces with Makino Golf to create a unique and limited edition putter. This collaboration combines nostalgic styling with modern manufacturing, resulting in a truly remarkable golf club.
Sugarloaf Social Club
Sugarloaf Social Club, also known as SSC, was born out of a shared love for classic golf gear and a desire to create something special. What started as a simple idea among friends has now become a full-time creative agency with a dedicated following. The founders of SSC not only have a deep passion for golf but also a strong appreciation for the style and gear of a bygone era. This passion has propelled them to design and create products that resonate with like-minded golfers.
Makino Golf and Traditional Forged Clubs
Makino Golf, a boutique club company based in Japan, specializes in traditional forged clubs. Their expertise lies in crafting blades, small cavity backs, wedges, and putters that not only perform exceptionally well but also boast of stunning aesthetics. It is this commitment to both form and function that drew the attention of Sugarloaf Social Club founder Ian Gilley.
The SSC X Makino 21A1MM Sugarloaf Fly Girl Putter
Gilley’s vision for the limited edition putter was realized through collaboration with S. Nomura. The result is the 21A1MM Sugarloaf Fly Girl, a tri-sole Anser-style putter with a site circle dot. The putter features a striking deep oil-can finish with beautiful blue tones, adding to its overall allure.
While Gilley wanted to incorporate Sugarloaf branding details, he made sure they didn’t overpower the impeccable craftsmanship of the putter. The SSC Arrow logo is discreetly placed on the bumper, and the phrase “PLAY OR PERISH” is ingeniously hidden on the neck. S. Nomura’s creative touch truly stands out as one of his three ‘Fly Girl’ marks holds the Sugarloaf Arrow in the putter’s cavity.
Showcasing Personal Style with Custom Clubs
More and more golfers nowadays seek to personalize their clubs and accessories to reflect their unique personalities. The limited edition Sugarloaf Fly Girl putter exemplifies this trend, as it presents golfers with an opportunity to own a truly customized piece of golfing equipment. When asked about the possibility of future collaborations, Gilley hinted at the potential for further designs, provided that this initial run proves successful.
