“Generations”Ĭontrary to popular belief, not all putter makers mill their own heads in house. Let’s start out with some basics about some of the production changes/details/evolutions of the Scotty Cameron Teryllium putters. Interesting Facts/Stories About the Scotty Cameron Teryllium Putters Alas, this putter would elude me for many years to come. With a price somewhere around $150-200 (I can’t remember, sue me if it’s way off), that was an IMPOSSIBLE amount of money for a 11-12 year old to spend on a new putter! Many would have said it was an unheard of dolloar amount for ANYONE to spend on a putter. They felt just as perfect on the little putting strip in the shop too! The only problem was the price tag. Everything about the black heads with white dots in the cavity and a copper-colored insert was perfect. All that said, I still remember walking into the Village Links of Glen Ellyn pro shop almost every day of the summer during middle school and looking at the Scotty Camerons. There are more competitors at the same price level and plenty of boutique options that far out-price Cameron (including Cameron himself by way of his Gallery in California). While Scotty Cameron putters are still regarded as high-end and on the “more expensive side” of the market, the putter industry has caught up to the brand. As big of a moment as that was, this putter was already well on my radar prior to that historic win. I’m talking about the Scotty Cameron Teryllium Newport which was used in Tiger’s maiden Major win at the 1997 Masters. However, there is a putter associated with Tiger’s Major lore that was/is obtainable. But that’s not a putter you can get your hands on so we can’t really count that. Obviously there’s the Tiger Woods Newport 2 – arguably the most famous putter of all time having been in the bag for 14 out of 15 of Tiger’s Majors. I have to be honest, I haven’t been too impressed by much from his shop in more recent times, but man, have there been some classics over the years. Listen, I’ve had a conflicted relationship with the Scotty Cameron brand my entire life.
