$10,000 putt

I received this letter a week or so ago and thought you would enjoy it. ~Scotty
Mr. Cameron,
On August 4, 2008, I played in a charity event at Saucon Valley Country Club in Pennsylvania. Our group played the Old Course. This venue has hosted two U.S. Senior Opens and will host the U.S. Womens Open in 2009. One of the side events during the round was a putting contest. In preparation for this event, the night before I re-gripped my 34-inch 340 gram Cameron Studio Stainless Newport Two with a new Cameron dancing grip. I tried it out in my hallway and it felt great and back in the bag it went.
Prior to the round, I participated in the contest. I made the first putt from 15 feet to continue. I then made the second putt from 30 feet. This put me into the finals to be completed after the round. After a fine round of golf, I was eating dinner when they called my name to report to the putting green. I went out with two other finalists. The requirement was to have one attempt at a 60-foot putt. Closest to the hole wins $200 in credit. $10,000 goes to one who makes it.
I was fortunate to go last. The first two guys made nice putts but went several feet past the hole. The putt was a downhill double-breaking slick nightmare. When it was my turn I was just trying to get inside the other two balls. I struck the putt and watched for what seemed like an eternity. The ball went into the dead center of the cup.
The reason for this letter is that I want to thank you for crafting the finest putters I have played with. I am a 53 y/o forever amateur who has the good fortune of being able to play the very best. Your putters create a confidence that I have never felt with any other brand. I now have the putter and the ball in immortality on the mantle. When the big putt dropped I immediately had visions of granduer of getting a Circle T Newport Two or a Cameron equally eclectic. Alas, my wonderful wife of 28 years reminded me we have two kids in college and we need a shed. I thought you would like to know of the magic I experienced with my Cameron. Thank you again for being the best.

Awesome Story!! Congrats David! Not only are you producing tour proven winning putters, but you are doing the same for us amateurs. Thanks Scotty!
So did you send him one of those fine Circle T Newport Two to congradulate him???
AWESOME STORY!!!!! I am sure my wife would remind me we owed bills also if I won 10 large with my SC putter, either way, its a great story!
I can’t believe making those three putts in a row! I’m not sure if I would put it up on the mantle though. Get a replica up there, keep this one the bag, and keep winning.
Dear Scotty Cameron
Hello!
I am Cho, Seung Jun and feel sorry for sending email without your permission. Last year, I saw a picture while I was surfing though the Internet. It was a simple picture showing a putter. However, I was looking at the picture mindedly as if I was shocked by something with my head. A few days later when I happened to see the putter. I was so impressed as if I had electric shock. From that moment, I joined a certain internet club. And then I became to love putter you have made.
As same as other country, there is a club whose members love, want to meet you and love your putter. Just as in your country…I am the very member in such club. The reason why I am writing is to ask you something. Lot of people love your putter and putter cover as well. But, unfortunately, I couldn’t find putter cover related Korea.
1. Would you consider to make putter related Korea?
2. Can you provide the putter to those who love you in the club? (Total members: about 3,000, Active members: about 300)
3. Do you have any plan to come to Korea?
4. If we, members, go to States, can you arrange you time to see us?
5. Can you give us gifts? (It doesn’t matter even if small quantity)
6. I ask you make any comment to Korean fan.
Mr. Scotty Cameron,
We love you and respect you. Even we stay far away each other, we wish you always be happy.
