Anyone ever use it? Is it worth it? & yes, I know its only worth what you want to pay for it, but "was" it worth it? Any bad experiences or complaints?

And does it increase the value of the putter at all?

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

I have sent putters their many a time. it has been worth it for me to get the grip and the colors I want.

Plus, if you purchase a high-end grip ($37) and headcover ($72), you get a custom paint job with up to 3 colors for free. You can then sell the headcover on Ebay and basically the whole process will cost you less than $50, inluding shipping.

Is the custom shop putter in the glass case better then one off the rack. Check them out at Rodger Dunn. For twice the money (or more). You get a putter from the milling machines that gets some hand grinding and different stamps. Is it worth more $$$$ on the used market?  Not to me.

Good idea! I may just do that actually...

I just bought an almost new Scotty Cameron Kombi Mid belly putter from the pro at one of my courses for only $150, which is $50 cheaper than the truly "used" ones on eBay, and half the price of new off the rack. I was thinking about sending it to The Custom Shop for color and a grip. Unfortunately they only have one "belly" grip option. I just wish they did extra face milling…

Because they will do reconditioning and authentication, Im wondering if once all said and done the putter will be worth the $300 im into it for, or will it be less, or will it be more? I dont think ive ever seen a true Custom Shop Scotty Cameron offered for sale at the store… What do they typically sell for?

Rodger Dunn has them. They are twice the price and kept in a locked glass case.

The Anaheim store sometimes has custom shop refurbished putters which usually sell for less then a new one. Some models sell for more.

Scotty Saudi Prince - diamonds inlays in the three signature holes. Solid gold with for the ultimate in softness.  But I like the Gothic Girls tattooed cover.

If you plan on using the putter, then no matter what you do, the putter will not be "worth" $300.  No different than buying a car, once you drive it off the lot it begins to depreciate.  The custom shop will make changes specific for you, but that does not make the putter rare and valuable, that just makes it unique to you.

I'm not saying sending to the custom shop is a bad idea, if you want a unique putter that is a reflection of you, then go for it.  Just don't confuse unique with rare.  IMHO, Scotty Cameron makes the finest putters available, I own 3 of them, and looking to add number 4 this summer!

Ive owned about 4 different Scotty Cameron putters. Only really liked 2 of them. My Nike Method im using now is a much better engineered putter in my opinion. The ball seems to roll much truer with my Nike. I know some people are diehard Cameron fans, and would probably be "highly offended" by that statement. Haha, but its true. I just like my Nike a lot better than any of the Cameron's ive owned.

I was only curious about sending this one I just got to the Custom Shop because I got a great deal on it and thought I could make it just that much sweeter if it were going to be worth more as a "Custom Shop" putter.

I took a Hawaii vacation a couple of years ago and a golf ship near Waikiki beach had a row of custom Scotty's that the store actively sends in to the Custom Shop. They also had limited edition putters, like the My Girl putter, and they went for over $2000 each. The custom headcovers along were $150+. They weren't in glass cases but since it was a small shop, the owners kept close eyes on them.


Personally, I think sending it to the Scotty Custom Shop will raise the value of a putter more than sending elsewhere.

I mailed in my putter for a restoration on January 6th.  The Custom Shop website marked the putter as "received" on January 11th.  These days, the custom shop website says the turnaround time for restoration work is 50 days, which coincidentally is today (March 1st) if measured from the received date of January 11th.

I've been reading about people who experienced much shorter turnaround times than the ones posted on the website, but now I am looking at a turnaround time longer than that.  I understand that the estimated time is an "approximate" time, but I am losing my mind playing rounds with some hack putter I borrowed from a friend's garage.  Any words of encouragement or other experiences where the wait was a little longer are appreciated.  I don't want to call and bug them, but I have been waiting a loooooooooooooooooong time to get that thing back.  I also just wanted to offer an experience where the wait time was longer than estimated, just so people (like me) don't get their hopes up that they will get their putter back sooner than anticipated.

But, you forgot to add the time for return shipping, which is not included in the turn around time according to the website.

Yeah I remembered the return shipping, but they also say you'll get an email with FedEx tracking information when it ships.  The website still says "In Process" on my order.  So it hasn't shipped yet.  Plus, I live about 20 miles from the Custom Shop, so shipping shouldn't be more than a day.

My point was that most people have been saying they get their putters back well within the estimated turnaround time.  I'm just bummed that I'm not in that boat.

Who are "most people"? Every time I have sent a putter to the custom shop whether for restoration or customization, it has pretty much taken the full amount of alloted time for the respective service. You'll probably get an e-mail tomorrow. If not, call them up; they are very accomodating.

"Most people" are all of the posts I read when I google: "Scotty Cameron Custom Shop turnaround."  I know I'm just being antsy, and I don't want to call because the timing is "approximate."  I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with a prolonged turnaround time.

And I'm telling you it's normal, not "prolonged". People who post favorable opinions on static sites you would find in a Google search always tend to exagerrate how great the product or service is out of wanting to feel justified about their purchase.

I think anything longer than their estimated time is "prolonged," but I don't want to get in an argument about semantics with a stranger on a golf message board.  It just makes sense that a company would post a longer-than-necessary wait time so customers aren't disappointed when the product takes longer to get back.  And, in my experience, people are more likely to complain about bad service than brag about good service to justify their purchase.

In any event, I was just wondering if anyone else out there had to wait longer than the 50 days to get their putter back.  I don't know if it's "normal" to wait longer than the approximate turnaround time.  That wouldn't make any sense.

Somehow I missed the OP when it was put up but I have used the custom shop and in my opinion it was worth it.  It is the one club of my set that was stolen that I really miss.

Here are some before and after pics of it.

I want to send my putter to the custom shop...  Thing is i'm skeptical that it's fake since I bought it on ebay - I really like the putter though and I want the dag on thing back even if it is counterfeit and I'm scared they will keep it, and send me a little letter for authentication that says it's a fake and that I should pursue the seller for reconciliation....

I want it authenticated and yes i would be disappointed if it was fake, but I like the thing!!!   Will they send it back if it's not real?

I'm pretty certain they have to send it back to you.  Every SC has a serial number and if it's newer a hologram shaft band.  Did you check the site to see if you could authenticate it yourself?

      Bo the Golfer's Golf Journey

      By Bo the Golfer ·

      So it's been a bit but things have been busy on my end. I have had a couple of range sessions lately and the first wasn't great but the last went really well. I started concentrating on just getting my shoulder behind the ball and it has made a world of difference. I think prior I had been thinking way too much over the ball but once I get my grip and setup done it's just one thought. My strikes were much more pure and distance despite a strong wind was very good.  I weighed in yesterday at 235. This journey started 2 years ago in May when I stepped on the scale and had 321 staring back at me. My knees feel so much better and feel stronger than I have in years. Not sure what weight I'll land on and try to maintain but I'm really pleased with the progress.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Two things I bring up when it comes to this discussion. One is if you have let's say two towns next to each other, one has a population of 10,000 people and the other has a population of 1,000 people. Let's also say that they never play golf against each other. Only among themselves. In the first town, you have one guy who has won 15 events, then a couple of guys who won 6, a couple who won four and a bunch of people who won three, two and one events. In the second town, you have one guy who won 18 events, then a guy who won 11, a guy who won 9, a guy who won 8, a couple who won 7, a couple who won 3-5 and then a few 2s and a few 1s. Who's the best golfer? It's possible it's the guy who won 18, but it's pretty unlikely. Far more likely to be the guy who won 15 in the much bigger town.  In the same way, I view the fact that there is more parity in the 1990 and onwards world than there was in the pre 1990 world as a plus for Tiger. It's much harder to stand out if the fields are deeper, stronger, better. If there are a handful of players who win all of them, that tends to suggest weakness to me, not strength. The other thing is Ed White. Harvey Penick talked about him in one of his books. Ridiculously good at the game, but no one ever heard of him, because he got a job and didn't play professionally. There was no money in it and he needed security, so he took a job that paid him steadily. No clue how many people there are out there like him, but if he was around today, he'd be playing pro golf for sure. If he had played professionally, Penick sure seemed to think he'd have been one of the best of all time. Fred Haas played him in a college match and got stuffed. 40 years later he walked into Penick's shop and saw Ed White's picture on the wall and, after a full career playing pro golf, he said that Ed White was the best player he ever saw. Those 40 years would presumably have included at least some of Jack. I can see why people might say Jack is the GOAT. I don't agree, but I can at least understand why they say it. IMO there is no argument you can make for anyone other than Tiger to be the BOAT though. At least not yet.

      A good option is to play the Par 3 courses. after playing an 18 -hole round. The Par 3 courses have 18 holes, we usually played only 9 holes after playing 36 holes on each of the trips we had. You may want to check out Grand National while you're in the middle of Alabama. I enjoyed Oxmoor Valley and Ross Bridge courses which are a short drive north.

      In August, I am playing the World Am in Myrtle Beach. I do not know which courses yet, but should be a blast. Aside from that, those are the only golf trip plans, unless I play while on vacation in Destin in June.
