Looking for someone in San Diego to customize my putter

[royroy858]

Does anyone know of a place or a person where I can have my Scotty Cameron GoLo 3 putter customized? I know I can take it to Mr. Cameron's facility, but the wait is so long these days - I was hoping to find someone local who could make my putter heavier and change the grip in just a few days.

Thanks for your help,

Roy

Do it yourself in a couple of hours. You can cut off the grip or if you have a compressor, you can probably save the grip. I would get some lead tape and put it on the back of the putter to get a feel for how much weight you'd like to add. You can keep the tape on or replace it with lead or tungsten powder down the shaft. Ram a little cork (I put Gorilla Glue or left over epoxy on the cork) down the shaft to hold the powder in place. Get some double sided tape at Golfsmith, a little mineral spirits (or lighter fluid, charcoal lighter etc) and put the new grip on. If you want to lengthen the shaft, Get some aluminum shaft extenders (I like them the best) at Golfworks. If you want to cut it down, use a hacksaw or tubing cutter. I just extended a putter by 3 inches tonight. Blew the old grip off with my compressor to save it. Put on the new tape, mineral spirits and presto, a new putter. The Starship Enterprise rides again! I also cut down a wedge and regripped it. Had to cut the old grip off. All this took about 30 minutes. Tape = $10 for a roll that can regrip a hundred clubs. Extender = $1. Grip = $5.50 Mineral spirits = a few cents. No, I don't know anybody in San Diego. :-) I live in FLA.
