Vog says: I love this putter-I really do. I love the finish on this, and the welded plumber's neck, and the high toe Coronado style squareback head-it reminds me of some of his early handmade putters. Frankly, if I had walked into the Gallery and the staff showed me this exact putter-I would have bought it on the spot.

Collector's bonus: A little bit about Craftsman putters and their history. First of all, today's Craftsman putters are essentially the 4th generation of what started as "Garage" putters, made in almost impossible to find quantities from 1993-1996, then resurrected in 2002 through about 2013. A Garage putter was named as such by Scotty because they reminded him of some of the experimental fancy putters he often created in his little garage shop when he got home and still wanted to create. In the late 2000's he made a limited number of what he called "Garage and Graffiti" putters-a combination of a Garage putter that often had a lot of hand shaping and work, with a Graffiti putter which either had welding on the flange (often his name) or extra stamping. In 2014 he changed the name and the concept to "Toolbox" putters; classic shapes he created and kept in a metal, vintage toolbox in his Encinitas Gallery for those who wanted a classic look over a Newport/Newport 2 or mallet. Around 2017 he renamed these putters "Craftsman." They're classic styles and often are shaped or worked heavily by hand. 

Has a black shaft, black leather grip. 34", 9.8 out of 10, appears to be untouched since it left Scotty's shop, with grey/white industrial circle T headcover
