Please healp me identify this putter. Got it at a garage sale with a whole set of clubs. Says "perceptor golf LTD" "the teachers mark" Seems pretty old and i cant find any info online about it. Thank you.

That's because it says "Preceptor" golf. That is in Google - it was set up by Dave Pelz...


Callaway Big Bertha V Series 10.5 Driver stiff shaft
Benross Hot Speed 16 deg 3 fw
Callaway XR 22 deg hybrid
Callaway XR 25 deg hybrid
Callaway Big Bertha 6-pw
Callaway Mack Daddy 3 48/54/60 wedges
Odyssey White Hot Pro Havok

I realize its a Teacher made by Perceptor. And I've read about Dave Pelz. I guess i was a little vauge in my question... There isnt much information on wiki and google about "the teacher" line (that i can find). I've found a few images of the putter but none that look quite like mine. I guess my real question is: is this a good putter, is it valuable/rare or just a paper weight? Display case, golf course, or dumpster?

I couldn't find any info on it either, but I'd try it and see how you like it. It may be magic for you. If you decide it's not for you, don't dumpster it.  Heck, I like the looks of it myself and would gladly take it off your hands.

Unfortunately it's not valuable.

Unless you putt really well with it ;-)

It is Preceptor, not Perceptor.

Very few old golf clubs are worth anything at all whether in new or battered condition. There is no collectors' market.

The putter you have is one of hundreds of copies of a Ping Anser.

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

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
