I've bought several over the years. Two have lost their heads on the course, and a couple I've given away to family.

The putter I currently use is a little higher quality than what I usually buy, and it has that awesome thick grip that I like. I hope to keep it a long time.

Edit : Well SH!t... They're on clearance for $12.. Maybe I should buy a couple more. :-)

One.  Newport 2.

In my view, its better to use one and become as comfortable with it as possible than switching back and forth.  Obviously, people will have different opinions, but that's mine.

I only have one, the one in my sig. When I'm done with a putter, it goes to a family member or a friend in need of an upgrade. Though my Crimson 660 is an older model, I take extreme care of it and the cover is on it before it's put back in the bag. It honestly has not even one scratch or nick on it and is 99/100 condition. It has been my favorite putter to date and I do not see myself changing any time soon.

I LOVED my Crimson 660.  I only switched because my best man (and golfing buddy) got me an expensive new putter as a wedding gift.  I've come to love it and I'm happy with it, but I saw no reason to switch from the Crimson.

Now my wife uses the Crimson.

I must have 20 or more between myself and my father. 5 or 6 different Camerons 9 or 10 different Ping putters including a real Scottsdale Anser. We just like putters call it an obsession. We have passed around each of them so many times I don't know which I bought and which he bought.

In spirit of some recent threads, I offer clarification: I was not implying a charitable situation. I meant purchasing.

Haha I like it!

I only have one putter right now but I think I want to try a new one out pretty soon.  We will see.

I only have one.  The one in my sig which I found on the side of the interstate when I lived in NC.  It had the head cover on it so no damage to the club and no way to find the original owner.  Have had it for probably 7 years or more now.  I tend to had down a lot of my clubs to siblings and family.  That is where all my other putters have gone.  Have only owned 3 in my lifetime though.

I've counted 5 putters currently.

Heavy Putter D1-M

Maltby Max Moment

Odyssey White Ice 2 Ball F7 (selling this one)

Killer Bee mallet (don't recall model name)

Distance Master (similar to current AS5 model)

The Heavy and Max Moment are fighting to stay in my bag.  I like the heavier weight heads (although the Heavy is the Mid Weight model) that promote a more stable stroke.  I also prefer a steel face because I have a tendency to leave putts short, so it helps when the ball bounces off the face a bit more.

I built the Killer Bee and DM putters.  I'd like the Killer Bee more, but the insert isn't ideal for me.  It might work better on really fast greens.  The DM was the first putter I built, but I prefer the larger mallets.

Driver - Cobra Amp Cell/Maltby KE4 V 10.5

Putter - Nike Method Core MC02W/Bobby Grace AMG Triumph

One more point most of the putters I own have never been taken to the course to be struck in anger. They might get to practice green but usually won't make it in play. I think this may be proof I have club issues lol.

    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
