Toulon Santa Monica: The inside scoop
As many have already seen this week in the forums, we spotted a brand new model from Toulon: the Santa Monica.
There were a lot of finer details going on with this putter that got peoples ears up including
- The one-piece design – no variable weight sole plate
- A classic head shape with Toulon refinements
- The finish & overall aesthetics
Thanks to a ton of positive feedback, we had to find out more. So, we went right to the top and called up Sean Toulon to find out about this new model and what else might be coming in the near future.
Here’s what we know:
The Santa Monica, that was captured is part of a larger project that will be going all out when it comes to customization and “showing the world what we can do when it comes to design and manufacturing,” according to Toulon. This line of putters will not be available on the grand scale and instead will focus on individual pieces and prioritize the customer experience.
This new line from Toulon will also include new putters not yet seen, although we have one name so far: La Grange (shout out to Texas!), and it will also include different materials not currently found in the Toulon/Odyssey line. The focus will be 100 percent on boutique, different and just for you, said Toulon. The new line will center around exercising total creativity, and also have the potential for one-off and limited-number pieces.
We don’t have a timeline for when these will become available to the public, but when we do, we will be sure to let you know.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Looks great. Love the simplicity. But when you see “prioritize the customer experience” and “boutique” you know they are going for the limited/scarcity business model and the price is going to be $1000+. I’m tired of putter companies doing this.

Can we stop pretending that Sean toulon knows anything about making putters? Byron Morgan, Lamont mann, Tyson lamb, all make a better product and have for years. This was just a marketing ploy to get Sean to Callaway.

“……we spotted a brand new model from Toulon: the Santa Monica” or, more accurately, ‘we spotted a brand new model from Odyssey: the Toulon Santa Monica’. Apologies for being snarky, but I am not a fan of the heavy handed (in my opinion) Odyssey branding. I know a fair bit about master and sub-brand branding strategies and this treatment just smacks of corporate insecurity.

Well to me that looks a lot like Tigers Scotty, wonder why the shift from weighted sole plate? What will the weight be on this putter .350 .365??
