Craig Stingley and Derrick Stingley, Proprietors

The primary developments of CSI Golf are products that improve putting mechanics, remove dirt from the face of golf clubs, and repair ball marks. The first product launched was "The Club Scrub System", a club cleaning product. Shortly after, CSI Golf introduced the BMR²-Putter™ line, which has received both national and international recognition.

In 2007, on The Golf Channel "Fore Inventors Only" reality program, CSI Golf ranked in the top 25 out of 2,000 products world wide

CSI Golf is located at 9100 West National Avenue in West Allis, Wisconsin. The company's 1000 square foot storefront site serves as a pro-shop and production facility for its custom fitted putter line.
