Custom Shop Putter of the Week | Final Phase
September 14th, 2007
As the final installment of this Custom Shop Putter of the Week segment, we’ve got some great shots to show you of this beautiful Sole Stamp Teryllium Santa Fe. I love seeing a Teryllium get back into playing form. After we high buffed and prepped it, we gave it the gun blue treatment, re-installed the insert, injected the elastomer membrane, gave it fresh paintfill, re-shafted and re-gripped it, then got it ready to ship back to the lucky owner. I could Blog on and on about it, but I’d rather just show you the results of our extensive Custom Shop restoration process. I hope you enjoy the slideshow.

Just curious: why does the squeegee say “Cocoa Pebbles”?
You guys are good! That’s a custom-made squeegee cut from an old cereal box. Recycling at work.
Take care,
Scotty
Thanks for the excellent slide show.
As an owner of a restored Teryllium Newport 2 it’s great to see what happens during the restoration process.
Can you show an Oil Can next?
Thanks & Regards
Chapzzzz
Perhaps.
Stay tuned,
Scotty
Scotty: What an amazing transformation. I had my pro platinum restored last year and the end result was so incredibly good that I honestly believed that you had replaced it. I stand corrected. Keep up the good work and please consider producing left handed versions of the T10. There are a lot of us lefties out there who would love the chance to own AND PLAY that beautiful putter.
Amazing. Great work, as always.
Gives me confidence while I hunt for my next restoration candidate.
Scotty,
All I can say is WOW!!!

Scotty,
Tremendous work. It definitely is great to see a TeI3 come back to like like this Sante Fe did. Great job on this putter.
Sam
As the gun-blue finish is pretty high maintenance, is it possible to get a different finish put on a teryllium putter? ( If so, what other finishes would be available? ) Thanks
Yes. You can get a Teryllium putter restored in the Pro Platinum finish. They turn out great!
All the best,
Scotty
Scotty,
How do I go about getting my Circa 62 #5 refinished? Is it possible to get a permanent finish instead of the gun blue?
Thank you,
Bob Dufresne
You can log into the the Custom Shop on ScottyCameron.com to view your options. You can have your Circa restored in Pro Platinum, which requires little to no maintenance.

Thanks for the slide show on the resto of the TeI…the amount of hand labor in the process is just awesome to watch unfold.
The continuing education this Blog provides,displaying the hands on approach and comittment to old school craftsmanship & quality of Cameron products just furthers my loyalty!
Hooray for Scotty Cameron and what his company stands for!!
Scotty, I have been putting for years with a putter other than a Cameron. Always loved the feel of it until recently I got the chance to hit a few putts with your Teryllium 2.5 putter. WOW what a different feel. I think I was sold after half a dozen putts. Needless to say, there is one in my bag now. I was happy to get one seeing as they are limited. As a buyer for Stanley Steemer here in Dublin Ohio, I end up playing golf with different vendors and I can’t wait to show off a little. Thanks, not only for a superior product , but for adding a little class to my game.
That’s really cool to see the process from start to finish. The one part i was wondering about is the application of the black…is that paint or powder coat? Seems to me that powder coat would be a much more durable and longer lasting solution for clubs due to the use they receive. Great job. Can’t wait to see another one.

Hi Christian,
The black, or gun blue, process is neither paint nor powder. It’s a series of high-temperature chemical solutions that the putter is submerged in to affect the appearance. It is an “old school” technique that gives a great look, but it does need oiling and attention to stave off rust. Thanks for checking in.
Scotty
It’s a privilege and treat to see the inner workings at the CS, the putter came out gorgeous and ready for it’s second go around. It never ceases to amaze me! Wow!

Scotty,
Is there a way to get the little rust spots off my Newport 2 without sending in to get re-finished. It’s only a little rust in cracks near the sight line. Does Naval Jelly work? Will it take off the Pro Platinum finish? Suggestions.
Thanks Again
Chris
I wish I could tell you that I had a fix, but little rust spots are like little cavities in your teeth. They’re only going to get worse if you don’t go to the dentist. That’s why I recommend making your putter an appointment with the Custom Shop (our “dentist’s” office). The only way to fix those rust spots is to remove them and refinish your putter. Think of it this way: After its appointment, your putter will have a brand new life.
Take care,
Scotty
Scotty,
About ten years ago I had an original teryllium (no elastomer insert) putter, but now I have a teryllium two…would it be possible to have the custom shop remove the elastomer insert and enlargen the teryllium insert to have it fit in perfectly, just like the original teryllium? I would have just bought an old one, but they are impossible to come by in the santa fe model. Thanks.
Doug
Hi Doug,
No can do, but I appreciate your asking!
Take care,
Scotty
Hi Scotty,
A bit off the beaten track, but your catalina putters hardly get a mention – shame because they are gorgeous. I have several and one of them is a bit beaten up as it was a freinds who didnt care for it!!
Ive removed the shaft to find the shaft has a male thread tip. Ive never seen this on a catalina before, just wondered if you could enlighten me. I have seen others with the plain .355 bore but never with the thread.
Great work mate, defo best in the business!

I just purchased a scotty cameron pro platinum newport 2 putter. The putter has some pretty noticeable dings and scratches in it, and I was just wondering if the scotty cameron restoration process can fix something that serious?
It truly depends how deep the ding and scratches are. We can buff and grind many of those out, giving your putter a brand new lease on life.
Scotty
Hello,
I have a studio stainless putter and was wondering if I can get it refinished in a black finish? Thanks!
We don’t do black finishes on stainless for a variety of reasons ranging from the fact that stainless is made not to stain to the fact that when we try it, the finish just doesn’t look good. Thanks for checking in.

Hi,
I have a gun blue finish Newport from the 1990′s and have only recently rediscovered its beauty. The problem is, it is rusted over from being kept out of sight for so long. I love the idea of sending it into you at the custom shop, only there is one problem. I live in Australia!! Is there anything you can recommend for me to get this beautiful putter restored to its former glory?
Thanks
You can send it from Australia provided that you accept the shipping charges and your credit card goes through. If you are able to enter an order on our site, we will gladly do the work and send you back your putter.
Cheers,
Scotty
Thank you so much Scotty!
I’ll be sure to get my order placed very soon. I can’t wait for this putter to shine again. You have made me a very happy man indeed.
Thanks again
Andrew
You know the Newport tei3? It has a white layer outside of the insert. How would you refill that and could you colour in the dots afterwards?
We refill all of the elastomer during restoration. And, I guess one could color them, but we don’t at the Custom Shop.
All the best,
Scotty
scotty, I like the idea of getting my gun-blue teryllium putter changed into pro platinum, but my question is, can you go from pro platinum back to gun-blue?
Yes.
Take care,
Scotty
As the proud owner of all 5 of the Newport Teryllium’s it is great to see what is instore for them in the future.Thanks Scotty you realy are a genius.
