The legendary putter maker takes Golf Monthly on a behind-the-scenes tour of his Californian studio and reveals some of the secrets of his iconic brand.
Encinitas is a small but trendy town on the Pacific coast of California, about an hour’s drive north of San Diego. Mixed between the eateries and bars are a succession of shabbychic surf shops that create a relaxed, holiday vibe. This is not somewhere you would expect to find a golfer, let alone a golf shop, but on the main drag is a stand-alone brick building with a subtle piece of signage outside that simply says ‘Scotty Cameron Golf Gallery’.
The man himself has offered to show us around town. We started the day in his studio near the Titleist golf club headquarters in Carlsbad, and after a tour of the building, we jumped into his 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, a convertible blue American muscle car born to chew up this coastal highway, and headed to Encinitas.

Is it Time for the Presidents Cup to Be Scrapped? - The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue?
The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue? Why would anyone even suggest such a drastic course of action? It may sound harsh, but since the inaugural event in 1994, the International team has managed just one victory and one tie while the American team has won 12 times, including nine straight from 2005. It is 26 years since the International team's solitary success in 1998 at Royal Melbourne under the captaincy of the late Peter Thomson.
