As many of you know, I was able to go to the Gallery last weekend and pick up my ultimate gamer. A blacked out CT version of the putter I was fitted into to start my MOTO clock. Thanks to /u/legitSTINKYPINKY I had hope that it would be in the case so I headed there as soon as I walked in. I saw it and told them I would be purchasing it. I got to choose between the blue camo bulldog, baller boy, and another option I can't remember. They even cut it down to size (I'm a short dude) and regripped it free of charge, and they even offered to swap the weights to 30s for free as well (I ended up paying for them so I could keep the original 20s). I had them mail it back and now it's finally home!

Also, they need another purple MM cover that isn't Baller Boy. He's just not my favorite dude.

A lot of you already know the story, but this was a weekend to remember!

Last year in April I got fitted at the studio while the gallery was under renovation. I got fit into a Studio Style Fastback 1.5 and my putting has gotten so much better. I customized my MOTO and started my clock.

This last week was my birthday and then this weekend my wife had a camping trip with her girlfriends so I figured it was the best time to go on a little trip to treat myself! I was watching flights for a few months and finally found a red-eye round trip for $200.

I know that in the gallery, what you get is what you get as far as what's in the cases. I was hoping that there might be some sort of mallet with a jet neck; whether a Fastback, a GOLO 6.5, or even a Phantom 5.5 or 9.5. For me though, the ultimate goal was the same putter I was fitted into, a Fastback 1.5. I've seen a couple of blacked out versions in the Wednesday drawings and when they dropped another one this past week, my hopes were super high - far too high for anyone familiar with the Gallery process. /U/legitstinkypinky confirming it in the case on Thursday did not help my anxiety!

I got in just before midnight on Friday and showed up to the gallery at 5am on Saturday. I was joined by a few people shortly thereafter who I've met online (one even here on reddit!). We enjoyed talking about all things Scotty Cameron and it was wonderful to meet fellow enthusiasts. Finally I got into the gallery and made a beeline for the case and THERE. IT. WAS. Blacked out CT Fastback 1.5. I told the staff that it was the exact putter I was hoping to pick up. I did my shopping (kicking myself for not grabbing the towel and swim trunks for the summer!) and then I finally got the putter! They were nice enough to cut it down to 32" (I'm very short) and regrip it with a CT Pistolero, my grip of choice. They even added new weights to compensate for the swing weight change and offered to do it for free, but I paid for them so I could keep the old ones too. Had lunch down the road and flew back that afternoon.

Anyway. I am far from an expert on Scotty Cameron and the gallery, but as someone who is actively (and successfully) going through the process, I'm always happy to chat with people about their gallery experiences! For those on the journey to the vault with me, it takes some time but we'll get there!

This back door (ignore the lawn/lack thereof, landscaping is next) is one of the last things we need to do in the living room/kitchen area. We can't decide what to do with it yet. We don't have any young kids (yet) but since it's a West facing window it gets incredibly hot in the afternoons.

It's 70" wide and 95" tall. Door slides from R to L. Just not sure what the best way to get some sun protection and privacy is.

My main issue with doing a curtain is I think it's probably too wide to have a single curtain all the way across without a support in the middle. I don't want the vertical blinds that swivel and break all the time.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Just got my Timeless handstamped back from the custom shop with a purple paint job and a Pistolero grip. Can't wait to 3putt with this bad boy. And I've finally decided, screw the sole tape.

​

Also - if anyone has a Rush Rocket blade for sale (purple/blue/green CT) let me know!

Shot 45, putt 15.

Actually was on track to be an okay round until the last hole lmao. I'm fine with bogey golf.

I grew up in HK and this was my first trip back in almost a decade. The one souvenir I wanted was a set of hand carved mahjong tiles from master Cheung Shun King. He had a set available for purchase and I ordered some additional custom tiles with my name on them. He got them done in 4 days! These will replace the 發口中 tiles. There aren't many of these hand carvers left in the city and so I wanted a piece of old Hong Kong before they all retire and no one picks up their chisels, and this makes the set uniquely mine. :)
