Got my second Cameron today

[quantim0]

I have an older Cameron Del Mar 2 TeI3 model from when I was playing in high school. I worked hard to earn the money for that putter and I love it. It was perfect for the fast greens at the country clubs I used to play. Now that I play public courses, I'm having a hard time controlling speed because I have to hit the ball hard to get it to the hole. I've just been putting very inconsistently, leaving the ball short 90% of the time.

On Monday I started looking for a new putter. I knew I had to get another Cameron because I'm spoiled by the clean lines and great feel of my old one. I decided to get a mallet so I could get a little more power behind the ball without having to putt the ball too hard.

Checking Craigslist at 1am I found what I was looking for. A like new Cameron Red X3. I had never been on the course and only had been used on a practice green. Once I cleaned off a few small rust spots from being in storage for a few years, it looks brand new. No marks or signs of use anywhere. Paid only $110 for it.

Took it out to the practice green at the driving range and it felt great. I was getting the ball to the hole and a foot or two past with consistency. I was draining way more putts then I had when I used my old Cameron on the same green last week. I basically made nothing with my old putter.

I'm going to send the old one back to Cameron to have it refinished eventually. The $200 it costs is a little more then I want to spend right now.

nice... I am debating replacing my pro platinum this off season. this one has lasted 11 years so I think i got my use out of it. Only paid 165 brand new in the wrapping from my old club pro when I was 16..

You might want to. Here's what happened for me on the course today.

Putter was totally awesome. My last two rounds with the TEI3 (first two rounds after 6 years not playing) had 33 and 36 putts. I had 4 one putts total for the 2 rounds. Pretty rough. I was missing everything outside of 5 ft.

Today I finished with 26 puts, 9 one putts. I drained everything from 10 ft in, with two putts over 20 ft dropped. So far, this has been the best $110 I have ever spent on golf.

Now if my driving would get better I'd be shooting a bit lower.
