The first golf course in the United States was the Oakhurst Golf Club, established in 1884 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. However, it was a small, informal course that did not host official competitions.

The first official 18-hole golf course in the U.S. was the Chicago Golf Club, founded in 1892 in Wheaton, Illinois. Designed by Charles Blair Macdonald, it set the standard for modern golf courses in the country.

The insert-free L.A.B. Golf OZ.1 mallet putter is available in stock and custom configurations.The face of the OZ.1 lacks the stainless steel insert in the OZ.1i.Stock and custom builds are available at labgolf.com.

When L.A.B. Golf released their new OZ.1i mallet in December, it made quite a stir. Not only was the mallet created through a collaboration with Adam Scott but it was the first L.A.B. Golf putter to feature a stainless steel face insert.

Additionally, the OZ.1i was the first L.A.B. Golf putter to have a zero-degree shaft lean option. All previous L.A.B. Golf putters had built-in forward press in the shaft, requiring a special L.A.B. Golf Press Grip to complete the build. The zero-degree option allows any grip to be used and should make the putter feel familiar to a traditional mallet player.

Naturally, the OZ.1i is still Lie Angle Balanced regardless of face or shaft options.

L.A.B Golf said an insert-free version of the OZ would be coming in the future. Well, the future is now. The OZ.1 with its all-aluminum face now is available.

Naturally, I had to check out this latest L.A.B. putter and, oh boy, do I have stuff to share. First, we are going to check out the custom build programs for the OZ.1i and the OZ.1. Does what you see on the computer screen match the delivered product?
