I bought a scotty cameron circa 62 #2 putter with the black oxide finish recently. I played a couple and a few practice sessions, and immediately after the first round, some rust began to appear on the sole as well as the face and even a little on the hosel.

When i bought the putter, it didnt with the silicon cloth, and i just received one from another source today. So i'll be wiping down the putter now.

However, there is a little bit of rust on it...and although it doesnt really look that bad (i can put up pictures later....at work now) i wouldnt mind getting it off.


Anyone else have black oxide finish on their putter or have any idea how to get rid of the rust?

what you need to do is wipe it down with baby oil to preserve it.
i had the tiger woods putter and got a tiny bit of rust, very little. i stopped playing with it because it is worth a lot of money. anywayz if you play if its raining dont put it back in the head cover. the moisture in the head cover is going to promote rust. so after your round just leave it out, but oil it down with baby oil.
glad i can help. +1 my rep please

Hmm..is it black oxide or gun blue?

I WOULD NOT use baby-oil and instead HIGHLY recommend SILICONE SPRAY. I've been SC's for a bit and that's what we all use on the gun black finish. BO finish sounds aftermarket..

I have a TEI3... baby oil doesnt do crap

you need a silicone spary lubricant but it needs to be a very specific one, anything that is oil based (if it smells oily, like wd40 then DONT use it)

an oil based lube will actually adhere chemicals (ie fertilizers) from greens that will ruin your putter with putter rust

here is a great product - use it - its an electrical and food based grade lubricant that is perfect for putter care

this is the only product you should use

Hmm..is it black oxide or gun blue?

with the rust coming that quickly its definitely the stock gun blue finish...

its hard to keep this putter in great condition, hence the reason they made the series one year later in the charcoal finish but the gun blue is just more attractive than the charcoal use the product I mentioned above and this will be a gamer that will last for years to come

i'm bringing up this old thread because i just got my putter back the other day from getting refinished with S.Cameron. it ended up taking about 2.5 months to get back.


anyways, i'm thinking about getting that silicone spray mentioned above but not really sure what to do with it.

anyone have any links or maybe more detailed explanation about how to care for that black oxide finish?

the people at SC aren't very helpful. They simply suggest to wipe it down after each round but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

I remember finding a link awhile ago explaining the whole maintenance process but i can't seem to find anything similar online now.

any thoughts?

Heres what ive always done with my circa,

i put the cloth in the headcover, that way it always gets "wiped down" whenever i put it away, i also wipe it down when iget home if its been a rainy day. i have never seen any forms of rust on either of my circas.

you need a silicone lubricant, as mentioned before never use WD40.

one nice trick is to apply lubricant into the headcover so you'll constantly lube up the putter each time it is covered.

yes, unfortunately you would need to treat the wedge as soon as you buy it

something I failed to do

DDBowdoin

whenever you play with the wedge, go home... warm water and soap, clean and dry completely

spray with the silicone spray and leave out of your bag

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.

      I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play.

      This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.
