Toulon Golf unveils latest Small Batch release – La Jolla
How Toulon Golf tells the story
A small town named La Jolla rests on the cliffs above the sparkling Pacific Ocean, about 10 miles north of San Diego. Spanish for “The Jewel.”
Accessible to all and difficult for all, Torrey has played host to the PGA Tour for over 50 years. It has recently become a favorite stop for the USGA, playing host to the classic U.S. Opens of 2008 and 2021.

These moments of personal greatness created some of the most iconic 18th green celebrations in the game’s history. Small Batch La Jolla pays homage to the great championships celebrated on these cliffs.
La Jolla

At the heart of this putter is its sleek shoulder and bumper design and much more squared profile from address. Toulon spent time studying every aspect of both its San Diego design and its old small batch favorite, the Santa Monica.
The hosel is now slightly inset from the top line, a nod to a classic that has won many times. The hosel stem itself has been softened like the rest of the body.

Toulon is calling La Jolla a ‘melted’ tri-sole. You will see the three sections that are slow-milled and lightly brushed on the sole. But running your fingers over the surface, you’ll feel the delicate transitions from each section to the next. Even more time was spent on the top line thickness and radius, giving La Jolla a more vintage look.
The back bumpers are slimmed and the overall design focus is on the delicate tri-sole. As always, hours were spent slow machining the head so that in its final finished state it would celebrate the intricate process used to create its shape.

Once completed, the head is then hand-polished to produce depth and luster. The La Jolla face is milled with Toulon’s Ultra Fine Double Fly cut.
La Jolla is designed for the modern game, weighing in at a contemporary 350 grams. The sole is minimally engraved with simply the model name, La Jolla, filled with Candy Red paint.

In addition, Toulon have paired it with a special Toulon Lamkin Deep Etched Cord grip and their chrome stepless steel shaft.
The circle fist pump icon in the back cavity pays homage to the many celebrations, while the Toulon brand mark is subdued and left unfilled. Inspired by the player who popularized this design (Toulon can’t say the name in it’s marketing materials, but we’re sure you can guess), the top line is adorned with a simple sight dot and the head is finished in the brand’s Tour Satin Mist.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
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.
