  • I forged my very own golf club and tested it out! Visiting Swifts Forge near Belfast, I tried my hand as a blacksmith and build my own golf club. This is a video I've been trying to do for YEARS, so thank you to Aaron for agreeing to let me loose in his workshop and being an amazing teacher. Make sure to show Swifts some love on Instagram (@swiftsforge) and check out their website: www.swiftsforge.com/

    Should market these as "Mordor Putters"

    Probably one of my favorite videos you've done. Really cool seeing that process and the story behind the forge.

    I am a metal artist and use forge and anvil as part of my tooling. I’ve toyed with the idea of making a club but never made it a reality. Your putter is a gorgeous work of art.
    Now I have no choice. Gotta do it.

    Pete, I can't thank you enough for this video. My 8 yo son loves golf and swears up and down he wants to be a blacksmith when he grows up. It's pretty late here tonight, but I can't wait to show him this video tomorrow. Again, awesome video and thank you so much!

  • @molesticles
    @molesticles Год назад +15

    I'd watch more of these types of videos. Like, loads more. I'd love to see you get into factories, custom build workshops, artisan clubmakers, even hobby golfsmiths. Great video Pete. My favourite golf youtuber.

  • @golfdoctorphd
    @golfdoctorphd Год назад +2

    the fact that you have a putter hand made by you, with a tool used to build the titanic is so unbelievable cool. if the putter rolls the ball well it would never come out of the bag!

  • @bradyplustwos
    @bradyplustwos Год назад +1

    Mr.Finch, this was absolutely incredible to watch. History with a personal touch wrapped up in golf. That was fantastic to watch…. No judgment about the screw top wine either 😉👍🏼

    That wonderful moment when your two favourite RUclips video themes (Blacksmithing and golf) combine into one video! 😁

    Wow! Thank you Peter for this complete new concept. It makes you appreciate the work that goes into creating our material in the bag much more than before!

    Probably one of my favourite videos on this channel and I have seen nearly all of them. Great idea and great way to show off the more niche side of the game

  • @davidthomson7260
    @davidthomson7260 Год назад +1

    Absolutely magic Peter. That was brilliant to watch and must feel awesome to have a club you made to play golf with !! Just watch these putts falling now !! Turn round to your playing partners n say , ' you know I actually made this putter...no really, I really did ' wink and walk off 🤪

  • @lanceguinn9807
    @lanceguinn9807 Год назад +1

    Enjoyed it Sir Peter!! I love metal work and recently got reacquainted with the game!!! As far as equipment goes.... its a mater of getting a feel for what's in your hand and having a good understanding of clubs gave you advantage in making one.

  • @rafabonati7757
    @rafabonati7757 Год назад +9

    I love it when I just know that I am the only one in the world doing something at a particular moment. Sometimes it’s knowing that no one else has or will ever do something that I am doing. You forging a putter by hand, from metal that comes from a cart made in the 1700s, is definitely a one of a kind activity. I love this, too!

  • @-Thunder
    @-Thunder Год назад

    Very cool! I designed and CNC milled some putters a few years ago. The process was a blast and I really dove into putter design and testing. Making stuff like that is really satisfying. Glad to see Pete do it!

  • @michaelrogers9484
    @michaelrogers9484 Год назад +1

    Awesome video, Peter. Love how you branched out into something totally different, but in a way that spoke to your heart and your followers. Cheers!

  • @HillbillyJedi88
    @HillbillyJedi88 Год назад

    That's awesome Pete. I watch a lot of golf on RUclips and I haven't seen anything like this yet! The satisfaction you get from making something like that with your own hands just takes it to another level. Really hope to see you this putter in your bag for a long time to come.

  • @TippiGordon
    @TippiGordon Год назад +1

    Amazing, amazing stuff. I got strangely emotional watching this video, like you were connecting to the game in a different way than I had ever thought about before.

    That thumbnail is on point. About the same expression I have after slicing another into the trees or three putting after looking at birdie..
    Amazing video to see the work that goes into something like this. I think we take a lot for granted with our mass produced clubs. Can't imagine making a set of clubs 100+ years ago..

  • @antonvandenberg9750

  • @bradx8586
    @bradx8586 Год назад +1

    Awesome video. Completely different. It’s the best you’ve made. Maybe, you should do more of these. It’s interesting to see club making behind the scene, especially when it’s done by a real artisan / artist ! Incredible. Thank you so much and bravo to Aaron from Swifts Forge. It must be cool to have a club in the bag that you really made with your hands.

  • @jonathandakic8909

    What a very cool video! Steel from 600 years ago still being used is a credit to how they did it back in the day! This is a once in a lifetime putter and could be in a museum some day.

    Players and spectators will nervously back away, as you slowly step onto the green, drawing your forged blade (putter) from the bag like Excalibur!

    Wow ...just wow....😁👌
    40 odd years ago I had a proper, crafted wooden putter - beautiful.
    I used it for about a year then dumped it when I got my B60.
    Which was a mistake.
    Seeing you with this beautiful, unique piece of artwork brings back the pain of loss.
    You keep it and use it - if it goes wrong it's you, not the club.
    But if ever you get bored with it, I'll take it off your hands in an instant 😉
    You lucky, lucky bugger....😁😳
