I received this letter a week or so ago and thought you would enjoy it. ~Scotty
Mr. Cameron,
On August 4, 2008, I played in a charity event at Saucon Valley Country Club in Pennsylvania. Our group played the Old Course. This venue has hosted two U.S. Senior Opens and will host the U.S. Womens Open in 2009. One of the side events during the round was a putting contest. In preparation for this event, the night before I re-gripped my 34-inch 340 gram Cameron Studio Stainless Newport Two with a new Cameron dancing grip. I tried it out in my hallway and it felt great and back in the bag it went.
Prior to the round, I participated in the contest. I made the first putt from 15 feet to continue. I then made the second putt from 30 feet. This put me into the finals to be completed after the round. After a fine round of golf, I was eating dinner when they called my name to report to the putting green. I went out with two other finalists. The requirement was to have one attempt at a 60-foot putt. Closest to the hole wins $200 in credit. $10,000 goes to one who makes it.
I was fortunate to go last. The first two guys made nice putts but went several feet past the hole. The putt was a downhill double-breaking slick nightmare. When it was my turn I was just trying to get inside the other two balls. I struck the putt and watched for what seemed like an eternity. The ball went into the dead center of the cup.
The reason for this letter is that I want to thank you for crafting the finest putters I have played with. I am a 53 y/o forever amateur who has the good fortune of being able to play the very best. Your putters create a confidence that I have never felt with any other brand. I now have the putter and the ball in immortality on the mantle. When the big putt dropped I immediately had visions of granduer of getting a Circle T Newport Two or a Cameron equally eclectic. Alas, my wonderful wife of 28 years reminded me we have two kids in college and we need a shed. I thought you would like to know of the magic I experienced with my Cameron. Thank you again for being the best.

The 2008 PGA Championship is history, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy some of the action from last week’s event. Our Tour reps sent in a few more pictures of Titleist players Davis Love III, Adam Scott and Ben Curtis. Also, I have a few more images of my new Ball Tool in action.

We’re still humming right along here at the Custom Shop. Every day putters come in, and every day they go back out again. What happens during their visit is a thing of beauty. We’ll take a rusted, neglected, beat up old Newport 2 and bring it back to its pristine, original condition. A new Studio Select will come in, get stamped up, new paintfill, and be returned to its happy owner completely “pimped”.
Every once in awhile I like to show you some pictures of the work taking place just to give you some ideas, and to show you some putters that look too used to restore. Trust me, we can bring nearly any putter back to life.

Just a quick update to let you know that I was fortunate enough to shoot 75-77-76 last weekend to successfully defend my club championship at The Bridges. It was a beautiful three days to be outside playing, but I can tell you I was grinding it out!
I won by one stroke with a new prototype mallet I’m working on. More on that putter soon. Just wanted to let you know that I’m playing as hard as I’m working! Thanks for stopping by the Blog.

It’s a ritual for me at the Putter Studio. Every Monday I come in, grab a coffee or tea, and I sit down to review the equipment counts and results from the various worldwide professional golf tours. It’s an important gauge in my business to see how my equipment performs at the highest level when used by the most talented players in the world. It’s also important to me that more players from all walks of life on all tours are playing my putters in record numbers.
I love stats, too.
For instance, during last week’s European Open at The London Golf Club we had seven players in the Top 10 trusting Scotty Cameron putters. The winner, Titleist ambassador Ross Fisher, played an SSS Newport 2 Tour putter. We’ve made more of an effort on the Eurpean PGA Tour to share the love, and it’s great to see the results.
What I find fascinating is that what I made last week for a player could actually win the even this week. It’s a huge pat on the back and it’s what keeps me going from week to week.

Our Titleist representatives from Korea stopped by the Studio today. They are working hard to spread the word about Scotty Cameron putters in Korea, and I sincerely appreciate their efforts. From left to right, that’s Mike Han (Leadership Club Fitter), me, Philip Choi (Leadership Manager), Jennie Yang (Leadership Assistant), and Eric Kong (Leadership Club Technician). Thanks, Team!

I got an interesting email from Canadian Cameron enthusiast Dave Degroot the other day. Turns out he recently played a round at Yellowknife Golf Club way up in the Northwest Territories of Canada during the Summer Solstice.
They have what is called the Midnight Classic Golf Tournament where they actually tee off at midnight. Being the longest day of the year, they have 24 hours of light. Pretty cool! I guess course conditions are pretty tough with sand fairways and artificial greens, but nonetheless, the folks are out there playing all night.
Although I can’t post all of your pictures, I think it would be fun to hear about some of the far flung places you’ve gamed your gamer. Reply in the comments and I’ll be sure to post them.
Here’re a couple shots of Dave gaming his Scotty Cameron lefty 340g Mil-Spec, making this putt I should add.
