Bought a Scotty!

[wolverine_man]

Hey Guys, They're selling Scooty Pro tour head covers, limited edition for only $300. Is that ridiculose or what?

Yes it most certainly is for a headcover that probably costs 25 cents to make.

I'll never be giving up my Newport Mil-Spec - I love the look so much more than the newer Studio putters which just look gaudy with the huge dots on the back. Probably not this winter, but I''m thinking of sending it in for a refurbish ($145 - ouch).

I'm sure it costs slightly more.

Typical Scotty hater comment....

i dont think, ill ever get rid of my scotty, its the club I use most, so i can justify paying what I paid

Well said! Out of 18 holes someone drives 14-15 times most? If someone has 18 putts in 18 holes that's AMAZING. But yet people say paying $200-$300 for an OTR Scotty Cameron is WAY TOO MUCH. These are the same people buying $300+ drivers every 3 years and only hitting it 14 times at most in 18 holes. I don't understand....

Not if they are made in China.

**Update** No Scotty coming for me now ... The Ebay auction stated the putter I won was 34" but the seller discovered it was 35" and informed me before shipping. For $215, I should have my preferred specification so I'll likely agree to a full refund ... what a let down though.

I feel for you....not so much about the Scotty....you can find deals all day long....even brand new models for $225. I couldn't imagine what I'd be like to only have a month of golf left in the season.....argh. The best local golf of the year is coming up in October & November.

They are made in the USA

Okay, then I definitely believe they cost at least $75 to make. At any rate, it I definitely feel for the OP. I know what it feels like to have your heart set on something and then have the deal fall through. Happened on a car for me once. Damn dealer sold it out from under me. OP, I hope you get your Scotty soon. Hopefully Santa will bring you one - maybe with one of those $300 ltd edition holiday headcovers.

I got a SCOTTY FUTURA PHANTOM at the begining of the year and I love it. I just wish that I had played more this summer. I still have a month and a half to play, and I am going to golf a lot more in that time.
I hope that you love your SCOTTY.

Damn. i really want the newport 2!

Damn. i really want the newport 2!

After a canceled sale fiasco last week, I just ordered a brand new Newport 2 and have that feeling of hope all over again. The only equipment additions I made this year were a new sand wedge and trying the B330RX's balls ... this putter should put a little excitement into the final days of the 2009 season. You know the saying "hope springs eternal" really applies to new putters. I'm already daydreaming about sinking all these mid-range putts.

Unfortunately, my organized golf group's last Saturday outing is tomorrow and I really don't have any individuals I play with regularly ...

You were right on ... I paid $220 shipped for a new putter. But the previous seller backing out (b/c of their mistake) robbed me of the opportunity to debut it in front of my golf crew. It'll have to wait until opening day next spring now.

I couldn't imagine what I'd be like to only have a month of golf left in the season.....argh. The best local golf of the year is coming up in October & November.

I'm in Central Pennsylvania where the average high is 67 degrees in October (and 54 in Nov) so really the season has another 2 months at the most but you get my drift ... winter sucks when you get a golf jones ... especially when the wifey won't let me run off for a golf weekend somewhere warm.

I went to Golfsmith to buy a Odyssey 2ball and walked out with a Scotty Cameron KOMBI 35". I love the feel and the sound of this putter.

You go, my friend. Once you choose a milled face over the insert, I'd be surprised if you ever went back. The lack of an insert just makes the impact much more consistent. I joined the club earlier this year and am really pleased with my purchase.

You got that right, Bunky.

I tested the Kombi as well but ended up going for the Odyssey XG Hot Sabertooth (the same insert as the Two Ball) so I did the opposite of what you did. My main reason? I putted equally well with both of them but the Sabertooth cost half the price of the Kombi.
