My Newport II is about 8 years old. Just regripped with a red baby T and would like a new Scotty shaft band. E-mailed Scotty Cameron from their website several times asking how to get a new shaft band, but never get any replies. Any WRX members know how to get a new Scotty shaft band? Thanks.

</a>Jack Nicklaus, left, and Arnold Palmer share a laugh during the Honoree Ceremony of the Memorial Golf Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, Wednesday, May 24, 2000. The year was 1954 when a chubby blond kid from Columbus sheepishly stepped away from his bucket of balls on the driving range to meet the man hitting shots nearby. Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer would go on to make a lot of golf history, together and separately. It all began at the Ohio Amateur, on the practice range at leafy Sylvania Country Club; just one snapshot from a tournament that will be played for the 100th time next week at Canterbury Golf Club.
