Titleist Scotty Cameron ???

Dublin Spur

Can anyone explain what is so wonderful about this range of putters ???

The reson I ask is because I saw one today for sale for 279 quid - absolute madness, looked very normal to me, or am I missing something ???

And who is Scotty Cameron ??

Thanks

Good question.

Seem to be a lot of people who 'swear' by their scotty. I've never used one myself, but have tried them a few times. Not a patch on a 2-ball! Don't understand the price either, as you say. But I reckon that's why a lot of people think they're so good: 'Oh I spent 300 quid on a putter, it must, be brilliant.'

As far as I know Scotty Cameroon is the guy who designs the putters.

If you are going to spend the most money on a club it has to be the putter as the end of the day its the club you use the most.

Not justifing spending €300 on a putter

I have an old Scotty Newport, it was reconditioned a few years ago by Scotty Cameron and its like new.
I have to say I wouldnt change it for anything. I just love the feel and the look of it (mind you, I still do 3 putt:mad:)


I have to agree with Trampass, the putter is the most important club in the bag, if you play a perfect round, hit every green in regulation and 2 putt every green, you have used the putter for half of your shots.

A putter is a personal thing, when yo ufind one you like, it will be in the bag for a long time.

Scotty Cameron Golf, started like so many success stories do, in a garage making unique and handmade putters, got himself in with a few fans who loved the quality and feel of his equipment, who happened to be tour players. In the early to mid 90's the head of Titleist approached him and asked could he design for them, after working and already designing for other companies he jumped at the chance to work with Titleist as they had and still have a massive tour presence. He makes a lot of one off or limited run putters for the tour that can fetch thousands of dollars on the collectors market. I collect myself and have a number of his early editions and would be quite embarrassed to tell you what I paid for some of them. Sorry for waffling on, but to answer the OP its really the quaility of materials in the putter head, sometimes some very exotic alloys are used to give a unique feel that only a Scotty can offer, also the majority of designs are still hand milled and hand finished. Therefore adding to the over all cost. You could compare it to buying a Ford Focus, ( no disrespect any focus drivers) a mass produced car or buying an Aston Martin, ( no exta respect to a DB9 driver) which have a lot of hand made components and a very labour intensive build time. As stated in a previous post its very important you like the look and feel of a putter, be it €20 or be it €300 plus. you can Three putt with them all.:o
