The annual Scotty Cameron Museum and Gallery meeting and tournament is upon us here in Japan. Every year Scotty Cameron comes to Japan in the fall to Hamamatsu Seaside Golf Club in Shizuoka for a meeting and day of golf with his Japanese Scotty enthusiasts. I was checking out Golf Style which was promoting the meeting and I thought I would take the time to show a few of the putters used by Japanese tour pros. While Odyssey putters are number one here in Japan on both the mens and ladies tours, there is no denying the alure and quality of some of the high end tour Camerons in the bag of some of Japanese top pros.

I rolled a Kombi at the Golf store a couple of days ago. It was actually better than I thought it would be.
Long story short, I have a SSS Newport made for me by Scotty. My custom Gold’s Factory is a much better Putter.
Do any of the non Titleist/Cobra sponsored players play with a Scotty?
yes tiger woods
