I’ve accidentally fallen into a great little side hustle. It has come out of nowhere and I want to outline what I’ve done and why I think this has succeeded somewhat overnight.

So, it turns out restoring and customising old golf clubs can be a really high margin endeavour.

It started with me buying an old beaten up Scotty Cameron putter, polishing it up, re-painting it and offering it for sale. I tripled my money. Easy, right?

“Ohhhh shiny”

Then I bought a set of old Titleist irons.

I sanded out all the dents, buffed them up, electroplated them in my garage, put them back together with some new grips, and quadrupled my money. Shit.

“Mmmmm Copper… Yum”
