Hey guys and gals, Ive been playing the same Scotty Cameron for years and i would like to know if anyone has any tips for rebuffing or restoring the club. I would like to avoid the expensive and time consuming process of sending the club back to the Cameron workshop. I want to rebuff the club but not sure how to go about it. I was wondering what you guys have heard or thought about doing to your Cameron's. let me know!

I know it's not the answer you are looking for, but the Cameron Custom Shop does such a good job it really is worth looking into it.

There is no way for the average person to restore a putter the way they do it. A soft buffing wheel on a bench grinder will work fine on the face and sole of the putter, depending on the finish, but there is no way to get in all the nooks and crannies. You can also try some paint remover to get the paint out and redo it on your own, but be careful because that stuff can be harmful to the finish also.

The Custom Shop can alter the lie, length and loft; they can change the finish, add your initials and other stamps, change the grip and paint fill. I took an old rusted, nicked up Cameron CLN Prototype and sent it back to the custom shop for restoration and it came back looking so gorgeous I didn't even want to play with it! Worth every penny.

What kind of shape is your putter in right now? If it's just buffing out some rust or maybe even some paintfill, DIY is simple.

Thanks for your great answer. I will look into sending my cameron in. I know the restoration process is worth the money i just hate how long it takes them. Thats so longggg without my baby! haha, for that reason alone i might not do it. maybe next winter.

I just bought some paint online to work on my Cameron at home. Do you have any suggestion for buffing/working out some dings?

Once you get a wand that is good for you it doesn't seem overly expensive to send it back to the "spa" every few years....especially if you would like to personalize it.

When it comes time for me to do so I wont worry....just game another putter for a few weeks. I'm looking forward to getting my last name on mine and maybe a few other unique features. May sound corny, but I do want a club that my son can have an appreciate in many, many years (hopefully). I want him to have something that helps him think of the time we spent together laughing on the golf course.

Depending on the finish, metal polish works well to get the shine back. Nothing you can really do for dings or nicks. Rust can be rubbed off, but just keep in mind that underneath the rust there isn't any finish. If this is meant to be just a gamer, then get it to the best shape you can and maintain it by wiping it dry after play and polish when needed. That's how I'm treating my Camerons.

Paintfill can really change up the look, just keep in mind that personalized putters lose value if its DIY. If there is any collectible value, or you plan to sell it one day, careful what changes you make. There are also several other shops that'll personalize or refinish a putter at a cheaper rate than the Custom Shop. Google it up, and maybe it fits your budget better.

I really want to send my putter in to the refurb shop. I have a studio design 1.5 and i really want to add my initials, take an inch off the length, possible modify lie angle, and most importantly refinish the finish (I have a bunch of spots in the finish).

However, I just read that they won't take the Black Pearl back to Black pearl. Instead they take it to the Circa 62 (Charcoal Mist) finish. I like that finish,and to be honest, I get frustrated with the glare on my Black Pearl finish, but I'm hesitant to change it just in case I miss the old finish...

Also, with all of my options, I think it takes it to almost the price of a whole new putter, but it would be MY CUSTOMIZED putter.

Anyone refinished a studio design putter?

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
