Bettinardi crafts limited-edition 148th Royal Portrush putter ahead of the year’s final major
Bettinardi has unveiled its limited-edition 148th Royal Portrush putter ahead of next week’s Open Championship in Northern Ireland.
The flat-stick represents the first time that the R&A has allowed an OEM to craft an official piece of equipment for The Open and features Bettinardi’s distinct micro-honeycomb face.
The putter features the markings “1951 – 2019” on the round bumpers, “Limited Edition” down the outer neck, the Claret Jug on the heel of the face and “The Open – 148th Royal Portrush” on its sole.
Hand-painted in the traditional Open colors, the limited-edition 2019 Open putter comes with a matching headcover and grip as well as a 148th Royal Portrush branded Open display box.
The putter costs £1,200 and is available to purchase now from TheOpen.com on a first-come basis.

Just here to say that Betti needs to make more Stainless Steel Honeycomb face putters. Some people like to have the ball come off the putter face like an absolute piss missile. Just saying, you know.
