[gandor]

[danielscho]

Love the Cameron Collection !!!!

[UnderPar18]

You have a very nice set up going with alot of nice extras to switch it up. I love your style of putters choosen and same with irons.

[ckay]

Thanks for the comments. I don't deviate from my bag much. The backup CBs are more of a sentimental thing. I gamed Miura CBs a while back, sold them to get into the TP MBs and regretted the decision not knowing the next time I will get my hands on a set. Through searching, I found a pro shop in the Mid West that had this NIB set stored for years.

As far as the putters go...I collected Camerons at one point when I didn't have the time to golf. As time started freeing back up, the collecting slowed to a stop. Plus the market was getting flooded, and finding the clean, minimalist tour putters got overshadowed by stamped up Queens. At this point, the tour Camerons sit on racks in my office as conversation pieces and decor.

Met some great people through collecting Camerons though and probably the best part of collecting anything...Jimmy being one of them. Never met him but the conversations we had in the past, I'd buy him a drink any given day. A true gentleman. If you have a chance to speak with him, you'll understand what I mean.

After having David build me a putter, there's no substitute at this point. I went through putters every few months in the bag, but at this point, the TP is here to stay. The confidence I have standing over 8 footers is unreal. A feeling I never had in my 15 years as a golfer.

Periodically, I still search for that one Cameron that'll be the end all but haven't found it yet.

You gonna be selling this one???

 

[ckay]

Already sold.

[BamaGolfer13]

Sweet setup!! Where did you get that bag it looks awesome?

[ckay]

I bought the bag on eBay a couple of years ago. There were some custom Ping Vantage bags in all colors that people would order from Ping Custom. Discount Dan's would do the custom order but htere was a minimum order of 8 bags I believe.

[ckay]

BTW, big thanks to Cleveland for the contest and what a great job on the wedges. Clean sole grinds for sure! Such a beautiful, raw finish. Can't wait to get some patina on them.

[seank237]

one of my favorite bags on here, nice set up and good luck the rest of this season

[Macattack]

Those wedges are unreal. Sick bag.

[ckay]

Thanks for the comments. My bag has been set for a couple of years now. Been on the hunt for wedges after playing my MPRs for 3 seasons. Driver slot is always up for grabs but I have managed to spend very little on either finding them barely played or building them through patience on eBay and BST. I'm into the ZLE for right around $200 for a brand new club with uncut shaft. Ho'ing problem has been solved for a while and it feels great although I do have thoughts of messing around with a SLDR.

The one surprising slot that has been constant for the past two years is my putter slot, and a $99 putter has taken that slot at that. Never been so confident over anything 10 feet and in.

As for the wedges, I'm going to the range today to see how they feel, fly, and distance. They are beauties for sure. Job well done from Cleveland.

[trbgolfer]

Really great bag and incredible putter collection! Good Stuff

[PlayMore]

Great stuff here - your putter collection is awesome! How about an update? There is no way this type of collection stay static for 4 months! [size=4] [/size]

I'm the proud new owner of that i20...great looking club all around...Thanks CKAY!

[Jeckert07]

How are you liking the R9 TP's CKay? I remember talking to you about them awhile back when you were thinking about buying them.

[gotohe11carolina]

Give the scratch wedges a go. I love em. Very clean look with plenty of options. I really liked the way they feel. I used to game the rac wedges for a point of reference.

[EJ Mac]

Great bag set up. I found what you had to say about the rac mb's very interesting in comparison to the cb's. I have always veered away from the mb's but have had the cb's in and out of the bag for a while, so maybe I do need to give the mb's a go. Thanks for all the eye candy.

Those MB TPs were very forgiving. The long irons launched well too, which is surprising for a blade. Give them a shot if you are looking for a change.

Meh, not much of a hoe...these Clevelands will be in the bag for a few seasons. Those RAC TP wedges were excellent.

No problem, enjoy it...let me know how you make out.

[Zach Heusser]

I can't believe I've missed your WITB! Awesome collection

[ckay]

Thanks Zach, coming from you I am a touch honored lol. Doesn't compare to your stash one bit.
