Hey,

I was hoping you guys would like to start a thread that show some putters you have refinished. Especially the old TP Mills putters. I just got into the habit and its VERY addicting! Here is the putter I started with. I will send you updates as I go along. Please do the same. I would love to see them!

Here is the first update on my TPM 1 refinishing project. I soaked it in a can of coke and then sanded by hand up to 600 grit. I also used some acetone to get the paint out so I can redo the lettering. I will probably go one more level on the sanding and then buff. Then I am thinking about a oil can finish (some 10w30 and 2 cycle mixture.) Here is the latest pic. I like the raw look, but I think it will rust out in the summer conditions.

Ebay is usually a good spot, but shipping nails you lately. I bought this one for $9, but shipping was another $8.

Looks great! I'm going to gun blue a TPM II, I'll put up pics when I'm done.

Any updates from anyone.  Would love to hear how your projects are turning out.

CheeseWedge - Did you find sanding the putter changed the weight much or at all?

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By WillieT ·

      I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.
