It's fun to be creative. There's a putter named Double Trouble. It's a two-player model consisting of a symmetrical clubhead with two shafts emanating from the heel and toe, so two people facing each other are controlling the same putter. I invented it as a team-building exercise for meetings and conferences. The challenge is to see how many 20-foot putts the two players can hole in two minutes. After each putt the players are required to switch sides, so they hit the same number of putts left- and right-handed. The players have to be on the same page in terms of rhythm, tempo and timing to putt the ball toward the hole. It's fun to do, hysterical to watch and emphasizes the importance of having two minds think as one.
We do a nice business in refinishing putters even though I'll only refinish Scotty Cameron putters. When one comes in — the one I'm holding seems to have been fished out of a lake — I can instantly tell exactly when it was made, due to a dot, a line, a certain leather grip or type of finish. My memory is very selective; I've been known to forget my phone number. But hand me a putter I made for Lee Trevino five years ago, and I'll tell you everything about it.
