Your Golden Bear “Bear Tracker” BT‑1L putter was manufactured by Nicklaus Golf, the company owned by Jack Nicklaus. Golden Bear was his signature equipment line, produced primarily through the 1980s–early 2000s. These clubs were never positioned as premium tour‑level gear, but they were well‑made, player‑friendly, and now have a nostalgic collector following.
