Makefield Putters- with a feel that golfers look for in a putter.

COVID-19.

So it’s easy to say that nothing good came out of Covid.

But the golf industry has found a shining light in what the pandemic did to the sport of golf.

When there were no options of things you could do outside, suddenly golf emerged as the one option. An activity to go participate in was golf.

But then off the course there was Everett Farr. Farr ended up spending plenty of time at home during Covid-19. The aide assigned to come to his house and help with Farr’s Autistic son, could not come over. So while Farr was home and watching TV-he became an avid watcher of YouTube video’s. Especially ones that included structural engineering.

With Farr being a golfer and the son of a PGA rules official, he started taking an interest in video’s of putters. But what he found in those promotional video’s was information that was lacking, or didn’t seem accurate. So it didn’t take long for Farr to believe he could build a better putter.

Which led to the addition of two partners, Matthew Fuchs and Michael Little-PGA.

At that point things started to happen. But one thing that took place practically by accident, was the naming of the company.

While driving with his wife, Farr saw a sign for a town called Makefield. The idea hit both he and wife all at once. Make, because it’s what you try to do on every putt. Make it. Field, because that’s who you have to beat in any tournament you play in-The Field.

But once you have a golf product, one of the next steps after testing it, is convince good golfers or pro’s to try it.

In the case of Makefield Putters, that professional is Wayne DeFransesco.

DeFransesco was a past champion of the PGA’s National Club Professional Championship in 2001.

It didn’t take long for DeFransesco  after trying the Makefield putter, to become a believer. Today DeFransesco serves as a brand ambassador for Makefield. The first putter was called the Makefield V-S in honor of the recently deceased Vince Sullivan. A golf professional and friend of Farr’s.

Since then Makefield’s putter line has grown from the V-S, to the Makefield TF Putter and the Makefield TF-Tour Putter. Makefield has other products and accessories. Which include the X-3 weight kit, for when you need to adjust your putters weighting.
