PutterBird Explained

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Matt, creator of PutterBird, a premium golf brand built around one-of-a-kind putting courses and thoughtfully designed golf apparel.

Equal parts golf enthusiast, artist, and woodworker, I set out to create something unique, functional, beautifully crafted, and unlike anything else in golf. I also needed something cool to bring to the neighborhood block party. So it was pencil to paper, months of late nights building in my West Town, Chicago garage...and boom goes the dynamite - PutterBird was hatched.

A premium brand to play. A performance brand to wear.

So why the name PutterBird?

Aside from the golf nods - "putter," "birdie," and the fact that the game is played on putting boards, a putter is an actual bird! It’s the dutch nickname for a European Goldfinch, which is also the PutterBird logo: Pinch the Goldfinch. Playful yet polished, colorful yet balanced with a hint of that classic minor-league baseball charm. The best kind of macot.

The name was loosely inspired by Petey the "pretty bird" from my favorite comedy Dumb and Dumber. Granted, Petey didn't even have a head - but, I just thought he was quiet bird - and the perfect inspiration for the brand.

Thanks so much for being here. The only thing I’ve enjoyed more than building PutterBird in my garage is seeing it out in the wild, bringing out fist pumps and high fives wherever it goes. And I'll never get tired of hearing someone ask about a hat, “What is that brand? I love that logo!”

I sincerely hope you enjoy your PutterBird experience, whether you’re playing the course or wearing the gear.

See you on the green!
