    Episode 11: From D3 Golfer to Expert Craftsman — Meet Sammy Majka

    In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Makes Manufacturing, Sammy Majka, to talk about his path from Division III golf to the workshop, the art and science of putter design, and why direct collaboration between golfer and maker truly matters. After college, Sammy began his career in sales before leaving corporate America to pursue machining. He spent years precision-milling aerospace parts, honing the skills and attention to detail that would later define his work in golf. Eventually, he invested in his own CNC milling machine and began designing putters—giving rise to Makes Manufacturing, a brand built to deliver tour-level precision and genuine customization for everyday golfers. Sammy’s journey into golf is just as unconventional. A former hockey captain at Gustavus, he never played high school golf and focused entirely on hockey until an unfortunate injury and a college golf class changed everything. As his coach, Scott Moe, recalls, one swing was enough to stop him in his tracks. Sammy was added to the roster on the spot, shot a 71 (-1) in his very first collegiate tournament, and quickly earned a spot in the team’s top five. No one worked harder or spent more time at the facility. If you’re looking for a custom putter—and the rare experience of working directly with the person machining it—Makes Manufacturing is where craftsmanship and passion meet.
