Just taking a quick look at Julian Williams’ Instagram, it’s not hard to tell what he does for a living.
Williams’ Pajamas Golf is gradually becoming one of the most well-known names for custom-stamped wedges and irons, with intricate designs ranging from flowers, to dragons, even recreating landscapes on the back of a wedge.
But Williams only began stamping golf clubs about six or seven years ago when a friend was telling him how he just got custom fit for clubs, but wanted to stylize his wedges further.
“I was forging knives at the time and working with hammers and things, and he just kind of approached me and was like, ‘Could you do this stamp work?'” he recalled to GOLF’s Fully Equipped co-host Kris McCormack on this week’s episode. “And I was like, ‘I don’t know.’”
Williams went to a hardware store and purchased some $10 stamps and a cheap hammer and got to work. Pretty soon, he found out he was pretty good at it, just doing work for his friends.

So eventually, he started promoting his work on social media as simply a way to fund his golf. But quickly, he found out his newfound business could get much bigger than that.
“In like a six-month window, I went from thinking, you know, a little bit of something to like fund my golf game,” Williams said. “And now all of a sudden, bringing in money, and now I don’t have time to play golf.
“And that’s a fine line that you walk and you know, played that for a while, not really understanding where I wanted it to go other than I was really enjoying the golf community and like, you know, finally starting to like meet others that do this kind of thing. Like being in this world is, I don’t know, more fun than anything.”
