    So one guys i getting 3 custom covers?  Congrats Cecil...

    To be honest I was shocked at that myself. I just kept entering designs in hope I may possibly win one. But hey i ain't gonna complain, up to the guys choosing.

    To be honest I love the sock idea, hopefully it translates well to the putter cover.

    That’s certainly one approach and I think all of your designs are very feasible from an embroidery production perspective.

    As far as PRG’s capabilities are concerned, from my digging around their site, they seem to be capable of manufacturing virtually anything. And while I toyed with some pretty zany designs (i.e. tie-dye leather base on “peace in a cup”), because the final selection formula wasn’t explicitly laid out in advance, I toned down all of my entries with simpler production requirements in mind.

    Now that we know the final selection will be based strictly on social media voting, I’m kinda regretting not pushing the envelope a bit more.

    I looked at this design as a free shot at a mad design. With the machinery available to companies like PRG, printing onto leather and complex embroidery is achievable so I decided I wanted to push the boat out and design something that I think would really stand out in my golf bag. 

    I was leaving it up to the guys at PRG to decide what aspects were printed and which to embroider and make the designs stand out. 

    Design wise the only thing I had to think hard about was for my alligator head design and whether this would work in an actual sample. I'm sure if there was a problem with it these guys could find a solution. But as I've always been told, go bold from the start and it can always be toned down. 

    I think your tie dye idea would have been cool. You should have fired it in regardless and just saw what happened. I know that they will be higher manufacturing costs than their standard head covers but I think as its a limited run and some of the proceeds are going to charity people will pay more for which ever design is chosen. This is why I didn't tone a thing down. Just wish I had more time to design others. 

    Would be great if this was my job.

    This one is a favourite of mine. I have attempted to do the alligator from Happy Gilmore. My alligator has some features added to it to correspond to the movie like the missing eye that Chubb's took, Chubb's Hand and the golf ball that Happy attempted to retrieve in the end up. I didn't want to add any text as I don't think there was anything to add to make him better. A nice menacing addition to any golf bag I think. R.I.P. Chubby. I hope that my image is correct and the effect that I was going for can be achieved.

    I was just about chat about a similar topic. I have had my first gen 2-ball putter for years and have never really felt the need to change. Alas the lure of new equipment always comes around. I have wanted a Scotty for as long as I can remember but now that I am contemplating buying one I don't know if I should.

     

    I know golf spy have putter reviews out but I would've liked to see a review on the latest putters compared to their older models.

     

    Would I be better hunting the net for cheaper, older putters? Putting is a mental game and I know that you should be able to putt with anything but comfort over the is key, that is probably why I've never changed. Don't want to fork out hundreds of pounds on something ill stick in a bag in the garage after a month of frustration. 

     

    As for the different inserts, a guy I play with adds weight to his putter to play on winter greens to try and keep his putting consistent throughout the winter months when the greens are slower. Don't know if you could alter the weight of your putter to suit different green types. Would take a lot of tinkering to get the weights correct for each condition though.

     

    It normally comes back to the old saying, if it aint broke, don't fix it.
