The Harley & Teddy Putters
May 22nd, 2007
What started out as an interesting story on The Cameron Collector about a young boy named Harley with an eye for Scotty Cameron putters has turned into a collective effort to get this little guy his own putter. This, in turn, initiated other acts of giving and resulted in another group effort for a kid named Teddy. You can read more about these acts of generosity here.
After checking out the various chat boards and learning more about these kids and their stories, I decided to get involved. The Cameron collecting community is made up of guys with an incredible passion for putters. It’s always amazing to me to drop in on the discussions to see what’s going on. But, it obviously goes far beyond putters. It’s about camaraderie and friendship. After reading about Harley, I had to get involved. So, I donated the Custom Shop services for the Harley and Teddy projects. I’ve had fun restoring a Newport for Harley and a Studio Design 2 for Teddy, both donated by members of the Cameron Collector community. Just finished them up today and they will be on their way to their new owners this week.
Again, it’s just awesome to see a group effort pan out like this and turning into something as cool and fun as giving a kid his very own putter.

I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this blog, it’s great! And to see the Cameron community come together like this shows what an amazing group this is.
Thanks to all involved!

Love the wild colors and the Pro Platinum finish on that Studio Design 2. Thanks for setting up this blog, Scotty! It’s great to see what you’re up to. Keep up the great work!
Scotty & Jason…
Thank You for making all of us in the Cameron Collectors’ world lives richer with such a time honored gesture, such as the gift of giving…you’re awesome!
The Cameron Collector community is made up of some fantastic people. What a great story – thanks for sharing it Scotty!
You do some great work Scotty, I hope those little guy’s take care of thier putter’s and appreciate the fine job you did for them.
Scotty thanks for taking the time and effort to add your own special touch to those putters. I was surprised when one of your folks interjected into the original thread about Harley. This kind of giving is what makes being part of the Cameron collecting community special.
I have been following the Harley and Teddy threads over at TCC.
Thank you for your involvement, time and caring Scotty. If you thought I liked your putters before…
Thanks for helping out with a great cause Scotty. Im sure they will love them.
It has been the great pleasure of my life to see a man I respect so much for his art and passion in making the best putters that will ever be, impress me beyond imagination by enhancing the lives of these two young men (and so many more to come) with his craft. Thank you kindly Scotty for leading by example and giving so much hope to myself and others in your own life’s work. Scotty, I love you man!!
Harley just turned twelve this week, and I am certain he will always remember that 12 was a good year. soon he will have his own putter made by Scotty.
Mr. Cameron,
I am truly impressed by your contributions to these children. Random acts of kindness, especially with children, are far too rare. You and your team deserve the greatest applause. Thank you for setting the example that continues to solidy the sense of community among your fans.
Sincerely,

This is the first of many “group efforts”. TCC has a group of guys and gals that go above and beyond the call of duty. We are a tight knit community that love collecting Scotty Cameron products.
Scotty and Custom Shop staff, we owe you a big “thank you!” for your help and posting an awesome slideshow for Harley and Teddy to see.
See you in Columbus!

Children’s innocence bring the best out a person…
Its a wonderful story…My hat’s off to the tribute and generosity by Scotty and all SC supporters.
Thanks for the inspiration…
Kind regards,
Keith
Scotty you are the man!!
P.s best putters ever
I think kindness comes from our hearts and every single human is full of kindness though not every one wants to unleash the positivity.

very cool art work of the master. i’m a small collector of art and SC works of art as well, i have more SC’s than works of art that hang on my wall but who’s counting. recently received the Catalina Classic and just another beauty that i’m enjoying. keep it up. thanx
what a great way to start this blog site! hope the spirit of giving continues on!
I think after 30 years of playing “the game”, I have finally found a putter that had feeling. Striking a golf ball can be learned, but putting is all about feel. To me the biggest improvement to the putter is putting the hosel into the shaft of the club. There is so much more feel then when you hang a club head onto the end of a shaft. My little 33″ Laguna with the Baby T grip is incredible for feel. I think I can finally stop searching for the perfect putter because for me…I have found her.
Thanks Scotty!! You have created the best addition to my bag.
Scotty,
You are the Best. I am more proud to own a Scotty Cameron Putter.
Scotty you’re a generous sole, and a good friend…Thanks for showing an interest in the generation of tomorrow ….Bluto
Scotty, you’re the man! Thanks for your assistance with this-the members on Cameron Collector are so cool. They took the bal and ran with this idea, and I’m so proud of them

The whole story of Harley and Teddy helps to remind us why random acts of kindness are so necessary. In a world propelled forward sometimes by tragedy and hurt, stories of people coming together to help others is awesome.
Thanks for the help in getting these 2 putters ready, but even more for bringing us all together. Because after all, it was a Scotty that started it all.
Jason
Thanks for the opportunity to share my passion of your products with like minded fans!
Keep up the philanthopic acts, as your participation can spark some good from all of us as well.
It just feels good to help others, doesn’t it!
I look forward to reading the coming articles from your blog.
Thanks, Rich Nevarez

G’Day Scotty, you are to golf what Chip Foose is to custom cars. Sir we are truly blessed to have a legend like you in this world.
Scotty…
Great work AGAIN, on the Kyle Lograsso putter project and the adoption of him into the ranks as a Cameron Kid!
Makes me all the prouder to be associated to TCC and all that we stand for in respect and honor to you and your passion for putters and good will gestures! Smiles on Kids faces…priceless!!
Looking VERY forward to the update, with the latest “project”,and the news of the 1st complete 4-some of Cameron Kids!
How cool would it be to have them assembled and let ‘em have at the fun of a round of golf together?? JAT
Mr. Cameron,
It is with GREAT HONOR and GRATEFULNESS that I am writing to you, to inform you that I have been selected by the Members of TCC to pass on the latest putter creation directly from your hands to the newest Cameron Kid selection, Aries Gilder, (adopted son of Sean and Mindie Gilder)
The Studio Select putter that you have built to size to fit the youngster is one of your most beautiful creations yet. The personalized Circle T Headcover with your inscription of “Have Fun & Enjoy” truly says it all and applies to every aspect of life.
On behalf of TCC and the Cameron Kids program,THANK YOU!
