A Quick Look at Sugarloaf Social Club
If you haven’t heard of Sugarloaf Social Club yet, you’re in for a treat. They’ve carved a niche for themselves in the world of golf fashion by focusing mainly on soft goods, like trendy apparel and stylish accessories. While they are mostly known for their fashionable offerings, this limited foray into the golf club market with the Tour 3 is a notable leap forward for the brand!
Meet Makino: The Craftsmanship Behind the Magic
Makino is not just any golf brand; they are an artistic powerhouse founded by the talented industrial designer Shohei Nomura.

If you were expecting just another run-of-the-mill putter, think again!
First Impressions: A Surprising Revelation
Features That Stand Out
This putter has a rather chunky but appealing appearance, boasting larger, well-defined shoulders near the back cavity. The clean design of the bumpers, which combines rectangular shapes with softened edges, gives it a modern yet traditional vibe that golf purists will certainly appreciate.
The thicker topline is designed with functionality in mind, aiming to help golfers align their strokes better. Adding to this classic aesthetic is the single sightline that’s machined into the flange, filled with white paint for that nostalgic touch.
Crafting a Connection on the Green
The putter features a shallow milling pattern on its face that showcases the model name and a recognizable signature “S,” a nod to Sugarloaf’s identity. On the L-neck, you’ll find the intriguing phrase “Play or Perish,” encapsulating the artistry and philosophy behind its creation. The wrap-around grip even comes with a sticker as a reminder that the putter is un-plated and could develop rust if proper care isn’t taken, despite its stainless steel (SUS303) construction.
A Surprising Feel That Delivers
