Pat Sutton - Portland Purveyor of Vintage Golf Clubs + Antiques

Pat Sutton, PGA Professional and Golf Club Historian

Mr. Sutton is a native Oregonian who graduated from Oregon State University. Unlike most golf professionals he has spent his entire career at Riverside Golf & Country Club in Portland, Oregon. Beginning as an assistant golf professional in 1978 and in 1983 he was promoted to Head Golf Professional, the title in which he still holds. As a golf historian, Pat is an avid collector of rare golf books, balls and clubs. 

Mr. Sutton finds promising antique golf clubs and memorabilia from across the world. Pat often travels throughout the United States, Scotland, France, Belgium and Canada to add even the finest items to his historic golf arsenal.

We recently sat down to go peruse Pat's golf clubs that we could collaborate on. The first iteration is the Pat Sutton Hickory Putter Collection. We've infused new life into these once forgotten putters through elbow grease and love of the game to ensure they end up back in the bags of players who relish the craftsmanship and hand forged quality of a bygone era.

After selecting our initial offering of clubs, we convinced Pat to take us on a small tour of his collection. Relics of some of the local favorites like Alderwood Country Club, 1947 Ryder Cup & 1946 PGA Championship at Portland Golf Club, Photo Book from 1910 of Seattle Golf Club were all quite the site to see, but we had my eyes on some golf course architecture books, more specifically, C.B. Macdonald + A.W. Tillinghast. Let's say Mr. Sutton did not disappoint.

  • Hello Mr. Sutton,
    I have a golf ball signed by Helen Hicks, one of the founders of the LPGA. I wanted to know if this is something that would be collectable? Thanks for any information you could provide.

  • Hello, I couldn’t find an email address to contact you. I have a Revolta Golf Recorder from the 1930’s, I wanted to see if you knew anything about it and if you would be interested in it.
    Thank you, Melissa
