The GLM Story
From a garage in Plainview to the pockets of Masters champions — this is how it happened.
What started as a pandemic hobby in a Long Island garage became one of golf's most remarkable stories — copper markers carried by Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm and dozens of tour pros on the biggest stages in the game.
First Makers
Winter was coming, Jon got a set of stamps and a hammer to start a new hobby.
First 2 Etsy Hits
Where it all started: Our first two designs that gained traction on Etsy.
Sky Sports Discovery
Rich Beem and Rob Lee from SkySports found the Etsy shop and wanted markers for Laura Davies, Wayne Riley, Paul McGinley, Inci Mehmet, and TV hosts and producers.
PGA Championship – Kiawah Island
Beemer had us make markers for pros. Tommy Fleetwood uses a GLM marker for the first time.
Tommy Markers
A few for Tommy which he used for a while — won the Nedbank Challenge and the Ryder Cup 2023.
Phil Marker
He won, dont think he used it.
Rahm Marker
He became #1 in the World a month later, dont know if he ever used it.
Rory Marker
He wouldnt use it for a year, but then the Poppy marker was everywhere.
