The year is 2019 and at long last the Open Championship has returned to Royal Portrush, over half a century since the first time. A native of Holywood enters the week the betting favorite to hoist the Claret Jug in his homeland, back where it all began. Fate and occasion do not intersect and he misses the cut – a tragic development. But in a wonderful twist, there’s another Ulsterman in the field and he has reached the 72nd hole six shots clear, ready to take the walk of a lifetime.

Four shots later, the ball is holed, the Jug is hoisted and the celebration is on. The party is long and legendary. It spills over into the pubs adjoining the golf course where the conquering hero – still dressed in the same kit he wore on the 72nd hole – famously revels with all his supporters. The Open was finally back in Irish hands.

Presenting Small Batch Toulon & Sons Portrush.

Last year for Small Batch Scotland, we imagined what our family shop would look like had it existed off the 18th green of the Old Course in the 1800s. For Portrush, we thought immediately of the revelry following the 2019 Open and wondered what it would be like to own one of the adjoining taverns.

We hope our tavern would be a place for golfers to gather, meet people who love the game as much as we do and recount an incredible day at the course with the people they love most. A place where the locals and champion both feel comfortable.

THE HEAD

The body shape for Toulon and Sons Portrush had to be classic. With our creativity focused on vintage putter makers from the area, we envisioned a blade style putter that encourages flow. Blending the blade length properly with the blade width, Portrush immediately feels like a putter you’ve had for years.

The pintail design is a favorite of ours, and Portrush features a classic double shelf design. From behind you’ll see the graceful arc from heel to toe as it rises gracefully to the snubbed nose. Looking towards the top line you’ll notice the gently raised higher toe design – a way for us to beautifully move the center of gravity to the middle of the face. This allows us to improve the sound and feel, providing Portrush with a satisfying milled click.

Milled once again from our 904L stainless steel, we finished the face with a fine double fly and capped the final milling with a deep tuna overmill. The look is stunning and delivers incredible sound and feel.

While looking from behind, you’ll also notice the nine dots on the inner side of the double shelf. These nine dots – one in gold, five in cabernet and three in blue pay tribute to the 153rd running of the Open Championship. They are also meant to resemble jewels, a nod to Royal Portrush.
