I posted a few months back about the Tei3 Longneck I had come across at my local Play it Again. Got it for a song, and it was the first scotty I have actually owned. Recently graduating from college, I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to make this beat up ol scotty MY putter. I know some may think I ruined a perfectly good cameron, but this is what I came up with. I went to Middle Tennessee State hence the blue, white and black color scheme. Now back home in Michigan, I get to stare at it until spring rolls back around! The easy day stamping on the sole is my mantra while on the greens so I figured I would throw that on there as well. This was not a personal project as I sent it off to the putter lounge, and with about a 5 week turn around showed up on my doorstep looking fantastic. As a bonus I threw in a picture of my cat watching the puppy bowl...haha The first pics are pre-resto...

[TheMoneyShot]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[Moss Boss/Turf Smurf]

I was interested on the same level as your cat watching the puppy bowl

[cjblake09]

Like it! Who did the work?

[gmangolf]

Not what my choice would have been but that's what makes it YOUR putter.  Work looks top notch.

Had it done at The Putter Lounge...very impressed by the work.

[wilhelm_86]

The white KBS sets the putter off. Although after rolling it around for a little while this evening I dont know if I am a huge fan of the Iomic grip...Thinking a GripMaster might find it's way on there soon.

Sorry, but someone has to be the first to dislike the looks of this one.  I'll take the hit.  The finish looks thick as heck and to do this to a TeI3 LN that was not in that bad of shape was a tough call.  It is YOURS and I respect that, but it almost looks like it was painted with gloss white house paint.
Hope it treats you well,
Nick

[Graymulligan]

I think it looks sharp.  Definitely not my cuppa tea, but it doesn't have to be because it's yours.   What did that run you at the putter lounge?  I've been debating having a radical makeover on my GoLo.

I agree. This could've been done to any other Scotty, stainless select range, one you see millions of. But not a long neck TeI3. There are so few of them left.

[KaTooM]

Man! Nice score! I've been on the hunt for an inexpensive Tel3 long neck for sometime now!

Congratulations!

[Cole23man]

That putter was in really good shape before you sent it out. Not the biggest fan of the white.(does look great tho) I like to keep it classic with the old guys

[bigskyman]

Nice job

[gin and tonic]

As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.  

I'm concerned with what your cat is plotting agains those poor unsuspecting puppies.

I could not agree more with you. It was a classic and in decent shape. I believe this is taking "ghosting" a bit too far, but to each his own.

[The Grifter]

Not the look I’d be going for with this Scotty but you like it and that’s what counts.

[bedsell12]

I went to MTSU as well....Wish my Scotty was "True Blue"! Very nice putter!

[Hot Rod 71]

The putter looks awesome!

[chnco]

Nice, what type of finish is that?  Just paint?

[pauliodotnet]

it's yours and you better game the hell out of it and enjoy

but like others, i think you took a masterpiece and ruined it. but he this is the interwebz and our opinions will change like the tides in the ocean. enjoy!

[OrlandoSean]

Looks really awesome, great work also.

[northmonst]

Tragic

[Mikey Town]

It definitely looks Scotty-ier.


I don't like white putters (or white headed clubs in general), but I do like TeI3s.

As much as I dislike the color choice, you probably like it way more than I dislike it... and that's all that matters!

Looks nice !! I see some people think you ruined a classic but it was just another production line Cameron. I have a original Santa Fe Tei3. myself. Enjoy the putter as it is,truly yours. Well done !

[CBookout]

I generally like all black as opposed to all white but that looks pretty sweet. Good job G.

[elmo17]

Not what I would ever do to a Tei3. Sad.

[zebrasinamerica]

I may be wrong but isn't this the same model that Payne Stewart used when he won the U.S. Open?
