- 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.swiftsforg...

Should market these as "Mordor Putters"
... and in the darkness 3 putt.
The one swing to rule them all. 😂

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!
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.
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 😉👍🏼
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!
Fascinating, great job Pete and your team! Looks like great fun, would love to have a go at that.
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 🤪
This is by far one of the cooler videos you've made. Can't wait to see you use it out on the course!
That wonderful moment when your two favourite TH-cam video themes (Blacksmithing and golf) combine into one video! 😁
Collabs like this are probably really difficult, but this was an amazing video!!
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.
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..
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!
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
Brilliant video thanks Pete. Golf and making stuff. My favourite genres collide. Your channel just keeps upping it!
Wow Pete that was really worth watching great to see a real professional in action cheers
Fascinating! This probably my fav video so far, if not it surely up there. The vibes is surely different. Let’s goooo Pete!
This is amazing Pete. I cannot wait to see you use this in future videos.
You and me both!
One of my favourite vids you have made. Got all the way to the end !
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!
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.
love this kind of video, unique and the blacksmith is a wonderful person.
thanks John
Of course ... with my musical preference ... and here some metal forging ... this was an awesome vid. Very cool. May the birds drop with this putter. 🤘😎🤘
Players and spectators will nervously back away, as you slowly step onto the green, drawing your forged blade (putter) from the bag like Excalibur!
Good fun! Keep doing what you!
This was utterly fascinating! Bravo for doing something different (but don't stop doing what you usually do!)
This video speaks to me on so many levels. I've been trying to pick up golf, but crafting is something I am deeply involved in.
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!
I love it. My son has a letter opener made from 1/2 an old horse shoe and a cutting knife from the other 1/2. Something he’ll always remember making
great video Peter, remember when I was at school and created my own putter in metal work.👍👍👏👏
By far the coolest golf video I've seen yet!!!
Really enjoyed that Pete. It’s great that these skills are still in use.
Haven't even watched the video yet. I have to say, the thumbnail on this video is priceless! 😂
Now that was cool! Every trip to Ireland should include 1) playing golf, and 2) making your own putter. Sign me up.
The most unique golf content, really cool idea.
My absolute favourite video you have put out!!!
Probably the coolest golf video yet. Bucket list experience. I would never use anything else, handicap be damned. Too cool not to use.
That's awesome Pete. I watch a lot of golf on TH-cam 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.
Awesome content once again Pete. Cant wait to see the performance of the self-created work of art out on the course.
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.
One of the coolest videos I've seen!! Would love to do something like this.
One of the coolest golf videos I've ever seen. Rare to get to see any clubs getting made never mind a hand forged putter!
Great creative content. Nothing else like it on golf TH-cam.
Awesome. Always had interest in this and love the history.
Oh Peter I love this. I bet you had so much fun you wanted to go back and make more, maybe a full set? I've always wanted to make irons, there's a guy on Instagram who makes irons the same way. Absolutely beautiful as well. It's coggin golf. He's a master.
Bahahahaha! The looks the smith gives Peter while he's explaining his vision were hilarious!
In all honesty, the putters that are shown on the site are gorgeous. Something special I'll never own, as they're more than the new-to-me BMW I'm buying on Sunday, lol, but they're stunning. I would love to have a Damascus steel forged putter. The real attraction for me is that they steel itself is historic. I may have to treat myself to one of their ball markers, though.
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!
I really enjoyed this video! I love working with my hands and have recently gotten in to golf. It sparks the imagination
One of your best videos! Love how you’ve shown the process of making the putter and the review of it too
Best video yet. Loved it. Want one.
What a fantastic video, probably my favourite video out of all the content I watch
OUTSTANDING
Love the thumbnail 😂, there’s always a great feeling when you use something you’ve made yourself, you both did an excellent job 👍.
It was great to see the forging process!
Great video as always. That would be awesome to play a club that you had a hand in making.
The picture of you for this video is just the best!
That was just freakin awesome Pete. What a process. What a lineage behind Aaron. A master craftsman was always said to make his own tools... Will we be seeing this putter in the bag for 2023?
thanks Jonathan. much appreciated!!
Pete this is one of the coolest videos out there. Thank you for sharing.
More of this kind of content Pete. Just awesome.
THIS is my all time Peteer Finch favorite!!!! GREAT JOB!!!
How the absolute hell has this not been done before?! I've been waiting for ANY golfer youtuber to team up with alec or any forging person to make a forged wedge. WE LOVE FORGING!
I do make wedges too! Bill Murray has one of my 70degree prototype wedges and he played it at the pebble beach proam this year
Excellent video, strangely one of my favourites that you’ve done considering there was only a few minutes of actual golf content! Would love to do this myself!
being an engineer my self i really appreciate this haveing made my own putter years ago brings back great memories mine was a little bit more refined ally body bronze face and weighting to face ballance it all may be 25 years a go aventialy sold it are a car boot sale might have to hav another go thankyou for this loved it
Abbbbbbsolutely beautiful. Thanks for this, wonderful vid.
This may be one of the best TH-cam golf videos I have seen in a long time
That was ace!!!! Really interesting stuff. 👏🏻
Love the video pete. So well presented. Your a natural in front of the camera and your passion for the game shines through. Would love to see more content like this. Maybe an iron next time! Awesome 👋👋
Brilliant! So jealous of people like Aaron👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoyed this, should do a whole series of visiting bespoke club manufacturers.
This was really cool Pete! If nothing else, it will be a club you remember forever. Would love to see the same process for a wedge!
I do make wedges from time to time. Bill Murray has a 70degree prototype of mine he played at the pebble beach pro am this year
To be fair pete I have been watching your videos for many years and it's one of my favourites. New series inbound ' Quest for my open Putter ' ✨️
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....😁😳
Another awesome video Peter but this is my favorite TH-cam video ever not just your channel but best ever on TH-cam I absolutely love this video and want to see more like making your own irons or ball even keep up the great work 👍
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.
This was one of the coolest golf related videos I've seen in a very long time
Superb stuff Pete. One of your best vids. If that putter doesn't stay in the bag, 1 of 11 in the World, then you're crap at putting.. 😁😁
Haha Pete's face -😅"What now? *Just nod*" when he's explaining what the steps are - /step down or bumper..
Love to see the pride seeping through in your expression. Great video!
Just met these guys at the Irish Golf Show stunning putters and the headcovers they’ve got coming out look like they’ll be awesome
Did my apprenticeship in the old style forge with the coke forge and bellows blowing air into the fire to heat the metal up to operating temp, as soon as lunch time came we used to put the meat on the grill to cook for lunch Happy memories 🥩🥓🔥🔥
me too, just converted to gas as less dust in the forge with all the engineering equipment and club fitting elements needing to be clean haha
This is the best golf video you’ve ever done Finchy!!
Love this! Really cool to see the old processes being used 👏
Brilliant video Peter! Very different to many out there. Must give you immense satisfaction in creating your own playing club.
As a 30 year machinist with a golf addiction, I think this is my favorite Peter Finch video! Well done!!
Don't bash my milling "skills top hard" haha, always learning and improving
Haven't started the video yet but this is such a cool freaking idea I have to watch, regardless of whether it's a trainwreck or not.
And....starting now!
Awesome video Peter 🤩 I half expected Doug Marcaida to come out and say "it will keel".
This was one of your cooler videos Pete
Can’t believe I was trying to look this up for my dad to have a crack at and the best video I came across was yours
Great video Peter, The putter looks well smart 👌⛳
Good idea, Thats a piece of history that will run through your family history Peter. COOL
This is definitely the coolest golf video I've seen yet!!!
Pete, that was a premium video. An interesting and awesome process for making the putter. Really enjoyed it, thanks.
What a great video! So cool to see how much work and craftsmanship goes into one putter.
Hell's fire but that Aaron has got skills and wow that putter looks amazing.
Love the fact that its not all shined up and gleaming - its a masterpiece
Such an interesting video, really enjoyed watching that
This is the best video on TH-cam !!! Pete you have smashed it with this Ireland trip
I would love a putter like that!
Would be my excuse for all my three putts, I just want to use it more
😂 literally only myself to blame for missing putts
It would be REALLY cool to see you guys forge a mashie. I mean, you could make a putter out of anything... but a mashie... well, a wrought iron mashie on a stiff hickory shaft would be extra cool.
Man that we awesome Pete. Loved the process
Great video. What an awesome idea. What a great feeling to use something you helped create.
Very cool, I want one! I actually tinkered a bit with building a putter head out of wood early this year and it worked quite well - it just was quite soft wood, so i needed a lot of force. Guess I will be revisiting it, maybe add a face made out of metal or something! Anyway, great video!
Awesome video Peter. Not only have you had a chance to experience what the original pros of the game did, there is a link to the tools for titanic! Man? What a life! Lucky boy! #jealous
