About LaFerrell Payne
Built From Discipline. Engineered For Flow.
​
The PK Putter™ was born from a simple observation: great putting depends on rhythm — and rhythm is fragile.
​
LaFerrell Payne, a lifelong golfer and retired Costco professional, represents the quiet power of consistency. Decades of discipline, craftsmanship, and respect for the game shaped his approach to every swing, every green, and every detail.
​
Watching players break their flow — reaching into pockets, dropping balls, chasing putts across the green — sparked a deeper question: how could equipment support focus instead of interrupting it?
Standing on the course with a club in hand, LaFerrell reimagined what a putter could be. That belief led him to create the Putter Kaddy™ System — an integrated ball storage system designed to preserve rhythm, eliminate distractions, and keep players in flow.
​
From the very beginning, he envisioned this not as a gimmick, but as part of a complete, tour-ready putting system — something golfers would immediately understand, appreciate, and trust.
