The Waggle Pod: Ep. #37 w/ Ari Techner

Ari Techner joins the pod today to discuss being a lifelong golf obsessive who turned his passion into a career, building some of the finest handmade clubs in the game. At just 23, he co-founded Scratch Golf in a one-car garage in Oregon and grew it into a respected custom club company over 13 years. After Scratch closed, he reunited with longtime collaborators to launch National Custom Works, a boutique operation that still forges fully custom irons and putters one set at a time. Beyond equipment, Ari is a co-founder of the Sweetens Cove Golf Club and has worked with the King-Collins design firm, while playing most of America’s Top 100 courses and many of the classic links overseas. Currently based in Campbeltown, Scotland, Ari is an all- around golf guy and fun dude; I think you will enjoy this conversation.
