Two to be exact.   Second row from the bottom, third from the left is a Madison Toulon that a friend of mine built for me. We may have had a few beverages when it was built so it is an inch plus too long, weights out at F9 when not counter weighted and has a BGT Fire in it. Next day with clearer heads we weighted it properly and put a SuperStroke on it flat side forward. This was my gamer for close to two years and will be once I go back to playing for fun. Made me a well above average putter and was the last club we built before he passed away. 
 

Second one is top row and also third from the left. It is a Betti Roc n Roll that Rocco Mediate used in the 2004 Master’s. Got it from a friend of mine in Pittsburgh without knowing the story and then I got the back story.  I was able to confirm from Rocco directly that this was indeed the putter that he used in that tournament.

This is the story on that putter:  https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2004/10/12/2004-newsmakers-mediates-putter-spurs-11th-hour-ad/

There are a few other gems in there including a few Circle T putters.  One was built for Gil Morgan and is stamped DOC and the other for Chip Beck that is stamped CHIPPER.  I have a one of one TP Mills, a custom T Sqaure long neck and of course the Eagles Betti from the SuperBowl year.  The PXG on the top row was also a custom build and was one of the few long putters that they had done at that time.   If I went through the entire rack I am pretty sure I can remember when and where I bought each of the putters.  Used to be a hobby that has fallen by the wayside the last few years but now that I am home full time I may bring it back.

Wow, some great stories behind some of those putters, I see on your profile that you play competitively, amateur or pro?

Amateur at best. I can play well at times and other times not so much. I never was nor ever will be good enough to play this game for a living. I don’t have the drive to practice really at all and just prefer to play.

thats greats I love the stories behind clubs .. biased opinion from me but I would choose the eagle's world champion putter since I am from philly ! .. 

Lived there for 16 and went to LaSalle undergrad and Drexel for grad school. 

[Fongle]

I've got 9 at home currently. Couple of them I'd picked up at garage sales to restore and sell, the rest are just part of my collection.

It was not hard for me and I actually struggle with tournament golf. I am taking a run at the Mid Am this year and possibly the Am. At 47 the AM is a struggle since I just don’t hit it like the young kids.  I have played a lot of USGA events and won several club championships but that was a lot of years ago. My main issue these days is I really just can’t get to concerned with how I play…score is just a number and doesn’t change my life one bit.

ahh, thanks for that, so do you do a mid am in your state and AM? I have played 2 of the last 3 AM' s and really enjoy beating the young guns but I usually finish top 60, and man do they "bomb" it... I Make the cut though so that is good. I understand about not getting concerned about the score, I have heard that from other golfers.

Going to play both the NY state events and the USGA events this year….or at least planning to. Last time I swung a golf club was 11/17 of last year and practice starts on Monday afternoon. My only hope is my 15 year old is playing high school golf and itching to practice. My son told me he will carry for me so worst case I get some time with him on the course before heads to college for his freshman year. My family has been on me for the last five years to play tournament golf again and I have always found a reason not to do it. Now that I work from home and have a normal job there are no reasons not to. I can still move it pretty good for an “older” guy but can’t keep up with the young kids. Heck my son is close to 40 by me when he is playing a bit and touches ball speeds that are insane.

wow, keep us updated on your progress... nice your son is getting interested, should be fun..

Just three flow neck blades for me, plus an old Spider mallet experiment that isn’t pictured  

[stephenmatt]

I have 7 or 8 but I really only play with 1 or 2 of them. The others are just collecting dust.

[Jonesie]

As of right now, I have my dedicated mallet in the bag, one at work and one mallet as a back up. 
But I could easily have a different putter for every day of the week. Every time I go to my local PGA/Golf Galaxy, I give the used putter section a good long look. Always hoping to find that perfect match!

[GolfSpy_APH]

A modest 5 right now. However I can see that growing in the near future.

[Javs]

I have 5 putters in the closet waiting their turn back into the rotation. A Scotty, LA, and three PXG’s.

Also a great choice!

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Like all my clubs I do not carry multiples of anything really. I would consider irons having another set but for putter I am a single one kinda guy. As one replaces the others get sold.

I do appreciate the pictures on here though! Some nostalgia later in life, I should probably start keeping them lol.

[GolfSpy BOS]

Currently I am quote overstocked in the putter department!

Let's see:

Gamer - Evnroll ER2B

Challenger - Scotty Super Select Golo 6

Under Review - Argolf Mordred LT

Technically my Father's but I put a new grip on it to have fun with - Odyssey Dual Force Rossie (yeah... it's old)

More of an antique, but I'll still beat my brother putting with it - Spalding Tru-Focus

Dad's but if I walk by I'll roll a putt with it because It was originally mine- Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie

 

Still Sitting in my "eBay Watched Auctions" List:

LAB Link.1 - just need one in my specs to get listed! 

Scotty Phantom X 9 or 9.5

Evnroll ER8V or similar

Evnroll EV5.1

Odyssey Ai-One Milled SIX T

 

What's funny about this list is I like my gamer.  I have a positive strokes gained in my last 100 putts and a 30% 1-putt rate versus only a 6% 3-putt rate (which included one characteristically bad round of 4 or 5 3-putts.  Also, in the past 20 years or so I've gamed 3 putters:

1. Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie

2. Scotty Cameron Select Newport

3. Evnroll ER2B

So while this list is actually longer than I expected, it's more of me just wanting to try things out than really looking for a replacement.

Oh and Photo of the main three during some putting testing!

 

 

[ILMgolfnut]

I've only had three putters in my life: An old blade I bought in college for about $10, a Slotline and the current gamer, a Never Compromise Z/I Delta, which is approximately the same age as my son. I know I still have the Slotline, and I wouldn't be surprised if the old blade is somewhere too.

[GolfSpy_KFT]

I've currently got three putters. My Scotty Super Select Newport 2, Taylormade Spider Tour Platinum and Cobra King 3D Supernova. 

 

[TJ Hall]

Technically I have 5.

3 are mine (LH): Ping Anser 2i (first real putter and couldn’t part with), TM Spider Tour Black and Odyssey Ai-ONE 7s

2 are for the kids, bought an old Zebra for the older one (11, RH) and a cheap one for the little one (dual sided since she can’t figure out which side she wants to stand on!) just to putt around in the house.

[BringerofRain]

3 Putters.

A top Flight u bought from K-Mart 25 years ago. 
 

Odyssey White Ice Two ball and an odyssey white hot blade.
 

I use the top flight.  

[tdroma98]

I'm down to 10 putters.  Gave two putters away last year, to family members. I did purchase another to replace the now-retired Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter.  Replaced it with a Scotty Phantom X5.5 putter.  My wife did refrain from asking why I'm not using one of the 10 putters already owned & sitting in my office.  I love that lady!

It’s a tour version of TP Reserve B13 with the dot and some heavier weights. I love it - hope TM brings customization to that lineup soon because they really are a great product.

 i think we have discussed this at some point but I just saw a post by @GolfSpy BOS that he is going to fool around with a new to him putter this winter. 

I have heard folks discuss how many putters they have "just in case".

So I am wondering how many putters spy's have. 

MANY of them — so many that I have too many to count!

An Evnroll ER2 was my gamer for close to 6 years, and it still gets a spot n my bag whenever my current gamer (Makefield VS) putter acts up on me. I put a new black Gravity Grip on the Makefield putter, so we’ll see if that helps matters.

I also just acquired an Evnroll ER8 less than 2 weeks ago, and have played two rounds of golf (one 18-hole tournament round on my winter golf tour and one 9-hole simulator round), but the putter is definitely still out on that putter.
