From a pandemic-era hobby to an indispensable tool for golf’s elite, Jon Millman’s journey with custom ball markers is a testament to passion meeting precision. What began as a personal project soon evolved into Golf Life Metals, a brand synonymous with unique, high-quality golf accessories now gracing the pockets of the world’s best players.

Millman’s craftsmanship gained significant attention when none other than Rory McIlroy credited a custom marker with a touch of good fortune during his triumphant 2025 Masters win, a victory that completed his coveted career grand slam. This personal touch, a small but meaningful detail, underscored the growing importance of bespoke equipment even in the highest echelons of professional golf.

Now, as anticipation builds for the 2025 Ryder Cup at the iconic Bethpage Black, Golf Life Metals is set to play a pivotal, albeit subtle, role. Custom-designed markers for both Team Europe and Team USA will ensure that every player carries a piece of unique artistry, perhaps even a ‘secret weapon,’ as they vie for golf’s most prestigious team honor.
