Setting Records
November 2nd, 2007
Citing his new putter’s look as part of the reason for his success, Titleist ambassador Michael Letzig fired a course-record 60 yesterday during the first round of the Nationwide Tour Championship at Barona Creek Golf Club.
What’s even cooler about this story is the fact that this is the same type of putter Michael has been using for 5 years, a Project C.L.N. (Cameron Long Neck). I made him a new one with some bead weld on the sole to help it set up just right, and then I changed out his finish to a shiny black (gun-blue). Sometimes all it takes is a fresh new look to get a player back on track, and setting records.
Check out the story in today’s San Diego Union-Tribune.

Good luck to Michael on atttaining his PGA TOUR playing priviliges.
Scotty, does the bead weld help the putter sit more square at address?
Exactly, Ted.
Hope all is well in Canada today!

Great story Scotty. Do you happen to have any pictures of the before and after on the putter? I think they would be fun to see even if you only had some after photos.
I don’t have any pics of the before/after. Sorry.
Thanks for checking in on the Blog.

Great Story! Wish I had a C.L.N.!!! I did get to hold Tiger’s putter though and that was a privledge! Perhaps one day I’ll get to own a Scotty!! By the way Scotty, I do some art and am working on a tribute to you and some of you finest pieces, I look forward to sending it to you, if you’ll have it!
Hi SC; When do you announce next year’s line up? Here’s hoping that the lefty selection will include a 350 gram flare neck ss blade
Cool story and congrats to Mr Letzig on the 60! Is there a COA for this putter? I would love to see some pics of it.

Scotty,
I love the story. When did you make the putter?
The week of the Nationwide event here in SD. One of my guys hand-delivered it to Barona.

Sometimes that’s all it takes to turn a career around! Congratulations to Mr. Letzig and to Scotty for excellent teamwork!
