Introducing: Carnahan Golf
The Carnahan brand is becoming a familiar name with quite a few of the MyGolfSpy readers. We actually introduced the wedge and putter line-up last year at the 2011 PGA Show…although I have known about the head designer (Chris Carnahan) since 2007. For those not familiar…Carnahan Golf is a boutique golf brand located in Portland, Oregon whose designs are all about vintage, clean, classy and timeless lines. They offer customized builds, fast lead times, very competitive pricing and flexibility in terms that support green grass pro shops.
“The basic idea was to design products for elite performance and a timeless look,” says Carnahan. “We designed the clubs from a player’s perspective with a focus on quality and playability. We wanted a line of products that would showcase that vintage look and allow pro shops and head professionals to really fit their members and players.”
First Look – Burnside Prototype Putter
“We let the industry talk to us on this new model. However we have been longing for a double stripe alignment on one our flat sticks. The Burnside takes its name after the Burnside bridge here in our home town of Portland Oregon. We kept the face in a gunmetal finish to create a visual contrast with our white head. Custom limited edition burnside head cover comes included.” says Carnahan.
The CNC precision milled Burnside putter is an authentic blade style made popular in the mid-1970’s. Its flare tip hosel allows you to release the putter head freely after impact. Putter comes equipped with a custom Winn AVS putter grip.
Available in 32″, 33”, 34” and 35” lengths.

Ok Chris I know I am late to this comment party but I though I would “pipe” in
You have a really good looking product there.
The classic lines of TP MILLS/ SCOTTY CIRCA 62#3 are very evident.
You have managed to make the lines even more flowing and sexier! KUDOS mate.
I would keep that style for a while…even after the black and white phase passes.
The contrast is amazing and I would definitely keep the black face going forward, when you decide to go to another color or more traditional metals.
If I could suggest a few things it would be the following:
You already have your name on the product quite a few time so putting it on the bottom of the putter is overkill, and takes away from the styling. I would only place the number of putters made on the bottom and close to the toe.
The limited I would place on the bumpers. along with weight of putter.
on the hosel I would allow for initials for the buyers.
the name of the putter I would place on the rear of the putter, I would shorten the font for your name.
I would not touch your logo as the initials. Its beautiful and could be done in a multitude of colors to contrast future putters of this design as you move away from white.
There my two cents…
cheers mate
