I finished up my first semester of college on Thursday, and made the hour and half drive home that day. When I got back my dad and I went to a place called the golf warehouse which is were all the local golf shops sell their old merchandise from last season. I found a brand new Scotty Cameron Red X3 35''. It was on sale for $150 and another 10 percent off of that so after it was all said and done I bought a brand new Scotty for $135! I am so excited to hit the links already, too bad it is cold and snowing in Minnesota.

My question to all you golf fans out there is your story behind your first Scotty Cameron?

Got back into golf after a 25 year layoff. Got reading on the web about putters and thought I'd try a Cameron putter. Bought a Studio Style and played with it for about three rounds and sold it. It just didn't suit me. I think 4 degrees of loft is too much and the grip ridiculously thin - not that that's hard to change. Now I get a bit nauseous seeng all the "Tour Use Only" and GSS nonsense and fetishism about headcovers, but hey, I'm not saying I wouldn't like a black 009. I have ben gaming an Odyssey Black series 1 (non insert) and a plain old Ping Anser and now a Nike Unitized Tiempo. IMO all three of these putters are superior in feel to an OTR SC, but that's my opinion only. Pride of ownership in golf is not to be underestimated, so, whatever floats your boat!

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

I got a Studio Stainless Newport 2.0 in my senior year of high school (2004). It has been in the bag ever since. I have considered switching a few times, but I know the occasional bad putting day is my fault. I have made a lot of clutch putts with it over the years. Two 28-putt rounds during my club championship this summer helped bring home the title!

All my Scotty's are in the basement where clubs that do not behave go to have a few years off.

Well- it all depends on look and what feels good by my pro seems to think most people would benefit from a face balanced putter. So the squareback #1 or the Newport 2.7 would be ones to look at.

Why would you post a picture of an Odyssey putter in a Cameron story post?

I bought my S/S Newport 2.5 from International Golf a few months ago for.... $80! A steal in my eyes.

In my (crossing my fingers for Syracuse Orange Cart) bag:

Walter Hagen 3 metal

My first (and only) Scott was a Newport 2 Mid-Slant. I used it for about 8 months and never felt comfortable with it. It's probably my least favorites putter out of the last 3-4 I've owned.

Congats on completing your first semester! Each one will pass quickly and before you know it, it is over.

Congrats also on your first Scotty. I have been gaming a Scotty for some time and love all of mine. Sounds like you got a good deal as well which makes it even better. Enjoy your putter and your break from school.

My first Scotty was a Red X5 that I bought for $185 new on EBAY. I wanted to try a mallet, but I wanted a small one, not the bigger, high MOI stuff like the Sabertooth or Craz-E. It felt so good, I immediately swore off all insert putters and became a Scotty convert, purchasing and selling (in order to buy others) many more.

Driver: Ping I20 9.5*

Just bought my first scotty today! I got a tei3 newport 2 in MINT condition. It was a steal, got it for $150. I highly reccomend the tei3 line of putters. Distance control is spot on, and the feel is superior

I used to have a Scotty. I had the Studio Style Newport 2, not the Studio Select. Kind of expensive tho so i wouldnt recomend it as a first putter. I'll give you 1 guess of why i dont have it anymore and now have a Odyssey Putter.......................................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................... If you guessed it was stolen out of my garage you are right and win a shiney new golf ball. Luckily my whole bag wasn't stolen because it was in the house. The putter was in the garage with the practice putting green. I hate thiefs. I will eventually go back to the Scotty because they really are great putters, the only problem is my buddy gave me this Odyssey and i have been hitting everything. I hit a few 40 footers this season a ton of 20+ footers and everything from 10 feet in is a gimme. So theres no way im getting rid of this putter till it breaks or it starts acting up. Its a ugly boat but its been doing great, so untill something happens i cant see me getting a new one. But when i do it will be a Scotty again. Most likely the same one that was stolen.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

This may be a stupid question but is there any real difference between a scott cameron putter or odyssey than anything else, other than feel? Its not going to make more putts than a 10 dollar putter from Wal Mart, so why is it SOO much better?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
