Original Scotty tel3 and modern fertiliser?


Birdielux

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, does anyone use an original Scotty tel3 WITH original finish on modern greens regulary? What effect does the fertiliser and green treatments have on the finish? 

Mine isn't mint condition but too good sentimental to wreck, iv had it from 2000 and not used it in 18 years. (bought it with my first wage and used to get the **** taken out of me for having to wipe & oil my putter after a round, scottys were never seen at my course). 

 

I'm not interested in getting it refinished.

 

Leave it in the cuboard?

I have one. It was refinished by BOSGolf, who used to do Scotty's finishes before he brought the process in house. I don't think modern greens are any different than greens when I got it 15-16 years ago. You still need to wipe it down afterward and a silicon cloth is ideal. It can always be refinished at BOS for very reasonably in the future if you want it to look pristine again.

The biggest risk is sand.. so aerated or top dressed greens. That will scratch the oil can like finish. If you have more the black PVD I think it’s safer but don’t think any water or fertilizer will hurt it. I wiped it after each hole though and would recommend the same for any putter really. But I like to keep my putter clean… irons not so much 😂

A modern refurb seems to be the answer if I want to use it without a thought. ( I don't think scotty refinishes these in the original finish anymore something about calafornian laws or something)

If you regularly wipe it down after use and oil it often you’ll be fine. If you put it away wet or dirty, it will pit. 

It was more the chemicals used on greens I was worried about incase it attacks it.

That looks like cerekote or some other type of coating compared to the oiley original. Yours looks matt???

You would have to get it plated, to really make a difference.

 

BOS is also in California, if that was the real issue.

Cameron used to offer something called 3x Black on tour issued putters. BOS did this for him and still offers it. The head is hot blued, so it will still rust. The matte finish comes from the way they prep it. It's actually matte top, satin face, shiny sole (the sole on mine is covered with 10 grams of lead so I can't get pics).
