With a new shooter comes new knowledge
The announcement of the new Toulon Scotland Small Batch squad forced me to learn a few things. It’s not the first time this has happened with an outing in Toulon either.
For example, when the small group setters were first released, I had no idea that the 904L stainless steel they use for their setters is the same steel used in Rolex watches. My wrist has more of a budget Seiko.
I’ll admit that the phrase “forced me to learn” is a bit dramatic, but, so far, each of the Toulon Small Batch releases has taught me something about the history of golf. This time I learned about the relationship between The Old Course at St Andrews and dogs.
A walk at the Old Course dog park
Did you know that the Old Course at St Andrews is closed on Sundays? I haven’t done it. It seems unlikely in these days of golf abundance that the Home of Golf is only open on a weekend day. Hopefully those of you who know about it didn’t find out when you hit the club course on Sabbath.
Here’s another fun fact for me. Did you know that people walk their dogs on the old course on Sundays when it is closed? I can’t imagine that happening at a prestigious course in the United States. Can you imagine a world where Pebble Beach or Pinehurst No. 2 is closed on Sundays so people can walk their dogs there?
Dog Days of Toulon
I have another piece of knowledge for you. Did you know that the phrase “dog days of summer” refers to the time in July when Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, is closest to the sun and visible during the day?
This happens from mid-July to mid-August. For most people, dog days are the best golf weather of the year.
Toulon Small Batch Scotland shooter has one more K-9 connection. Toulon store dog Jack passed away recently. The silhouette of the dog on the sole is for Jack and the other dogs who have taken a Sunday walk on the old course

Exploring the form of Toulon Scotland
Toulon Scotland is one of those “other” blade shapes. It’s a heel/toe blade like the Anser, but not the Anser. To make the Scotch, you’ll start with a three-step blade on the back and then carve a hollow in the center.
The design is similar Bettinardi’s Studio 8 stock OR Scotty Cameron’s Circa 62 #3.
If you’re an Anser-style shooter, Toulon Scotland’s game should look familiar to you. Visually, this style of head always seems narrower at address to me than a typical Anser, with the hollow edges also being sharper than the Anser edges.
Old world aesthetics
Toulon Small Batch Scotland’s aesthetic is old school. The aim was to create a look that could have come from one of the small shops near the Old Course.
With this in mind, Toulon Golf became Toulon and Sons.
I like the name Toulon and Sons. First of all, it is accurate, as their shooters come from Sean Toulon and his sons Tony and Preston. They just need Joe Toulon to leave the Odyssey to complete the Toulon clan.
Although it was meant to be a “What if?” The name, I think the Toulon and Sons name stands out more in the golf market than Toulon Golf. Most golf company names are geared more towards attracting the customer’s attention, some of them unpleasantly.
Toulon and Sons reminds me more of a custom tailor who will take their time to make a high quality suit.
Final thoughts on Toulon Small Batch Scotland
The Toulon Small Batch Scotland throw will resonate with diggers on multiple levels. Home of Golf fans will appreciate how the golfer pays homage to the Old Course.
Dog lovers might jump on this one just because it has a dog in it. Disagree with me if you must, but there are people out there who will buy this gauge just because the engraving looks like their dog.
For me the putter has another nostalgic connection. When I look at Toulon and Sons Scotland, I think of barrels designed by the late Byron Morgan. Byron’s putters often featured similar “Byron and Co.” face seal. The tuna mill in Scotland’s face also reminds me of Byron’s tuna mill. Dude is missing the beat.
Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the release of the Toulon and Sons Small Batch Scotland coincides with the Women’s Open being played at the Old Course this week.

FAQ: Toulon and Sons Small Batch Scotland Putter
Seventy-five Scotland small gauges will be available worldwide from Toulon’s website.
To make the headpiece, Toulon and Sons collaborated with one of my favorite companies, Seamus Golf. Seamus Golf makes great tartan pattern golf accessories. I’ve had a set of Black Watch tartan covers for over a decade and they still look almost new. My type Dunat Bandon souvenir is a metal Seamus Golf ball marker with hand-stamped initials. I love the Seamus Golf stuff.
It sounds crazy, but the course can handle it. Most of The Old Course is sturdy and can stand up to Fido’s feet. They ask that you keep the dogs off the greens and pick up any dog ​​poop.
Let me answer this from two directions. First, they have 65 PGA Tour wins. This looks pretty good. Second, over the past 20 years I’ve had a lot of fascinating and Toulon’s current range of throwers are equal in quality to any other manufacturer’s milled machines. I currently have Toulon Alcatraz in my bag. That fact alone should tell you what I think of Toulon’s setters.
