cheap Ray Cook putter

Guys, I was at the Roger Dunn yesterday to checkout some of the new putters. And I walk to the big barrel where old cheap putters are, and found a rusted Ray Cook milled putter. Just curiosity took out tried several putts and it felt real good, but didn’t care much and just walked away. Last night I was ready to go to sleep and just couldn’t let that old putter off my mind. Now I’m 50/50 weather I should get it or not.

Please help me not to get this putter. I have several Scotty’s and certainly don’t want this cheap putter to be in my bag…..

You'll get it, take it out to the practice green, roll a few with it, and put in a box in your garage, where it will never see the light of day again.

 

You won't be able to sell it for what you paid. So, the entire exercise will be for a practice session with a different putter. Worth spending $$ on?

 

Did that talk you out of it?

Remember that Ray Cook had a great linage of putter millsmen that have gone on to fame and fortune... SC just might have made those mill marks.

You said its cheap. If its cheap as in inexpensive I say buy it. Ray Cook makes great putters IMO. BUY IT! We can all use more putters.

Check out the Memorial pics. Somebody is using an old Zing, and somebody is using an old Anser 4. Combined trade in value: $50

 

The pros don't care what it is if it makes the ball go in the hole.

 

Some of the old Ray Cooks are great, by the way.

Buy it and take a flyer on 5 or 6 $tarbucks and you'll be even.

 

Sorry, no help at all.

We're supposed to be helping him NOT buy it!!

 

 

 

 

No help here either.......

Probably the wrong place to post.

What works works.

Was it the Santa Ana Roger Dunn? Was it the black Ray Cook that looked like a Scotty JAT and cost $9.99? I could help you not buy it, by buying it...

Gee, I have an old Ray Cook M1 mallet (i think, if memory serves) which was a marvel in it's day. I say what have you got to lose? Your subconscious is obviously telling you you need this putter, that's why you woke up in the middle of the night and my headshrinker always told me to trust my subconscious as it was only my conscious mind that was trying to kill me.

 

Probably no help huh. sorry

Your first mistake was to even approach a used club bin! That is almost as bad as pulling up to a garage sale when you see a bag of old clubs on the lawn.

 

But I'm no help. When I see an old club that I like, I know I have to "rescue" it, bring it home, clean it up and let it live out its life in the corner of my garage with some old friends! LOL

 

I don't think you'll get many people on this forum who will ever talk someone out of buying golf clubs.

Yah the Santa Ana Roger Dunn Golf store. But it's not the black one, its the BB1 Ray Cook Stainless Milled putter and cost $29.99.

 

Like what GenErr said, I went last night rescued the putter, cleaned up with little buffing, and now looks good. It's in my bag and ready to collect some serious doe,... or at least payoff this putter...hee!!
