Choosing a putter is simply a personal decision. Several factors came into play when I chose my SC. I can admit that I was seduced by the brand name and the whole "art of putting" marketing angle. But the feel, look, and quality of Cameron putters is second to none for me . I bought mine as a reward for changing my lifestyle to a more healthy one over the course of time. Every time I use it, I am reminded of that, which makes it that much more special, and reinforces my will to treat my body correctly. We all have our reasons for what we play.

In my C-130 bag:

Driver: G10 10.5*
3 Wood: Burner
Irons: G10 steel AWT shafts, silver dot, +1" (3-SW)Wedge: cg12 58*Putters: Squareback 2, California Coronado Low score (18 holes): 90Low score (9 holes): 42

putters are personal prefeence bro

this post says it all. i have a an oddesey that i cant wait to get rid of - I am planning on getting a Scotty this month and can't wait - but plenty of pro's use plenty of diff putters - but to me it is no doubt the most important club in the bag - the weighting and balance of a scotty plus the feel of the face are just amazing - I want one!

In my bag:
Titleist 910D2 w/Diamana Kaali'Stiff
Titleist 910F w/ Diamana Kaali' Stiff

I like the way the Circa 62 feels in the hand, the weight and where the shaft bends, the visibile marks, and the fact that is was made in the USA. It's not the easeist putter to just pick and start knocking them in-but the roll off the face of the putter is smooth smooth smooth. My father has been golfing just over 30 years now, and he's a good man and solid single digit golfer (5 or 6). Offers a few tips if you want 'em, and will let you know when you hit a good shot. But during my career low round (72) with him the best compliments I ever got on a golf course was his quietley muttered disbelief when I sunk a few left to right 8-12 foot sliders. "Damn! so smooth, look at the way he gets the ball rolling...so smooth."

My Cameron was $200, not sold as brand new, but still in the plastic with an untouched headcover. They're expensive, but not outrageous, I've seen some good deals pop up from time to time on globablgolf, 3balls, and ebay.

I have a 4 scottys all awesome putters, I got a beternadi ect ect I have alot of putters....

Sc's have always felt very good for me, but then again I used my beternadi up untill I got my new putter custom built. I love my new putter much better then my scotty, much better feel, weight and look.

It's all down to personal prefference, see a putter in my opinion is the single most important club in the bag, since this is the club you will use most and make those birdies with. So you need to have what you feel comfortable with.

I purchased a SC about 6 years ago and I was OK with it but eventually drifted back to the Ping anser. Finally sold the SC for almost what I paid for it. Matter of preference.

PS had an Odyssey for a short time and hated it.

It's all personal preference, as stated. I have 5 scotty's, 4 because I like the look of them, and I think they might be worth something down the road, and 1 (my gamer) that has been in my bag for a long time and gives me tons of confidence with putting.

I agree, all personal perference. I am not a fan of inserts on putters, to me they feel dead. I have tried the Odyssey milled putters and like them, but there is something about my Scotty that I can't explain. Last week in our league I had 11 putts for 9 holes, when you get on a roll with it, there is nothing better.

I feel bettinardi studio putters are very similar to scotty studio putters and like the feel. I bought my bettinardi because it was on clearance in the fall for 50 percent off. I went with the cheaper putter since I could care less about the name of the putter.

I am going on a limb and saying the majority of people using scottys do it so they can say they have a scotty putter. Its very similar with PROv1s. The only reason why I use prov's is because I was given nearly 100 of them from a buddy and am using them.

At the same time if the using a scotty having the ability to say I have a scotty makes someone happy then knock yourself out. Id rather spend the extra money on golf rounds.

If you own a Bettinardi, why would you spell it as "beternardi"? Twice.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Ha Ha! Does seem suspect. Of course, a huge chunk of people who were raised speaking and writing English continue to write "loose" instead of "lose", and insert random apostrophes into words like "Vokey

' s" and "Mizuno ' s"...

Nobody who knows putters calls Bettinardis cheap. They are CNC millled, and they actually (unlike Scotty) mill them in the USA. In fact i would rather have a Bettinardi than a Scotty.

I paid over 300$ for a driver and I don't use it as much as my putter. If if puts the ball in the hole, price is not an object regardless of the brand name.

Someone could use that statement to avoid spending $300 on a putter

    • It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.
    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
