The Scotty Cameron GOLO Putters
Master Craftsman Scotty Cameron continues to
advance the art and science of putting with his
new line of GOLO mallet putters.
New Scotty Cameron GOLO putters are
advanced, innovative multi-material designs
featuring a lightweight aluminum face-sole core
surrounded by a stainless steel frame that
delivers improved MOI for increased stability and
forgiveness.
The steel frame is seamlessly connected to the
aluminum face-sole core at five key points with
new vibration dampening technology that
delivers the softest feeling Cameron putter in
recent years.
The steel body has a Silver Mist finish that
elegantly contrasts with the dark anodized
aluminum face-sole core that pops through the
top to create a sightline field on the back flange
for easy alignment. Four-way relief on the sole
prevents snagging for a smooth takeaway.
Available in golf shops beginning April 3, the
new GOLO line includes four models, allowing
players to choose their preferred appearance:
• GOLO 3, a mid mallet with a heel shafted flow
neck;
• GOLO 5, an angled back mallet
with a crisp single bend shaft;
• GOLO 5R,
a rounded back mallet with a crisp single bend
shaft; and
• GOLO 6, a B-back mallet with
a crisp single bend shaft.
A GOLO 5 Dual Balance model is available for
those players who prefer the GOLO mallet head
but need maximum stability in their stroke.
“The GOLO line has been around for three years
now, and it’s won a lot of golf tournaments with
some the best players in the world,” said
Cameron, whose putters have been the choice of
more players on the PGA Tour since 1997 and
counting. “But there are always ways to learn
and do things better. We’ve moved in today’s
technology, machining and computer systems
and taken everything we’ve learned on tour to
create an even better GOLO. The new models
have better feel, better sound, better alignment
and better overall performance. It’s the next
wave of construction technology – and it’s
simply better. Nobody else has done what we’ve
done with this line.”
ADVANCED PERIMETER WEIGHTING
FOR
STABILITY AND FORGIVENESS: The
GOLO
putters are designed with a lightweight
aluminum face-sole core milled from aircraft-
grade aluminum that integrates with a precision-
milled 303 stainless steel frame. This
construction enhances the weighting around the
perimeter, producing high MOI for stability
throughout the stroke. Customizable heel and
toe weights in the face-sole core help provide
forgiveness at impact.
NEW FACE-SOLE CORE
CONSTRUCTION: The
face-sole core is a single piece of dark anodized
lightweight aluminum that comprises the GOLO’s
sole and midsection, wraps up and around to
create the face and pops through the flange to
create the sightline field.
The aluminum forms the entire putter face, as
opposed to a traditional face insert that occupies
only a specific center section of the face.
“I’d always wondered, with a conventional
insert,” Cameron said, “if you hit it thin – which
is very common considering putting surfaces are
rarely level – do you hit the portion of the putter
face below the insert? And how does that affect
the feel and performance? Inserts are used for
feel, not for performance. But performance is, in
part, due to feel. So, I thought, why not just
take the seam out? The insert is now the entire
face, which wraps under and into the sole.”
SOFT SOUND AND SEAMLESS FEEL:
GOLO
putters utilize new vibration dampening
technology to achieve a seamless integration of
the aluminum core and steel frame. Internal
vibration dampeners in five strategic locations
preserve the benefits of the aluminum, providing
golfers with a softer feel and sound across the
putter face.
“We now have the softest feeling putter we’ve
ever had in the GOLO line,” Cameron said. “With
the new vibration dampening system, when we
put the two pieces together the aluminum
actually does not touch the stainless steel. It’s
very slick.”
FOUR-WAY SOLE RELIEF:
The soles of the GOLO
models are designed with enhanced relief in four
directions, front-to-back and heel-to-toe.
“This is quite unique. We now have relief all the
way around the sole, so it sits on the dead
center,” Cameron said. “Hardly ever are you on
a flat surface on a putting green, so we made
the draft angles perfect in each direction, front-
to-back, heel-to-toe, so that you’re not going to
snag the ground.”
PROFILE AND PERFORMANCE
CHOICES: The
new GOLO line offers golfers the choice of four
models with different shapes and sizes.
GOLO 3 is a modern mid mallet with a heel-
shafted neck that provides maximum toe flow.
“I’ve thickened things up on the new GOLO 3
model, made it a little more blocky, a little more
modern, a little more high-tech,” Cameron said.
GOLO 5 and GOLO 5R are standard size mallets
slightly larger than the previous generation and
offer identical performance in two different
shapes. GOLO 5 has a new octagonal back with
horizontal and vertical sightlines, while GOLO 5R
offers a traditional round shape without the
extra horizontal sight lines.
GOLO 6, the newest addition to the line, features
a B-back shape similar to Cameron’s previous
Circa 62 #6 model.
GOLO 5, 5R and 6 come with a new single bend
shaft with one shaft of offset, resulting in a near
face-balanced configuration that promotes
minimum toe flow for players that want, or
need, less arc in their putting stroke. The new
single bend shaft provides full topline visibility
by having 9 degrees forward lean and 3 degrees
inward lean. These specific angles align the
portion of the shaft below the bend directly
down the target line.
The combination of the shaft bend, allowing full
topline visibility, with the contrasting dark
anodized face and pop-through flange sightline
field makes for easy alignment.
“We feel in this new line that we have developed
innovative putters for all mallet fans,” Cameron
said. “Whether you’re a line guy, a round guy, a
square guy, a soft guy, a heel-shafted guy –
we’ve got it.”
In addition, the Scotty Cameron GOLO 5 Dual
Balance putter combines the GOLO 5 head style
with Dual Balance technology to provide
maximum stability for golfers who struggle to
make a consistent stroke with a conventional
length putter. Like all Dual Balance models,
GOLO 5 DB has a 50-gram heavier head (400
grams total) and a 50-gram counterweight in the
butt of the shaft. This configuration helps many
players make a proper stroke where the butt of
the shaft remains pointed at the midsection.
Dual Balance putters have a standard length of
38 inches with a 15-inch grip that allows the
player to grip down below the counterweight for
a more stable stroke.
MATCHING GRIP FOR ENHANCED
PERFORMANCE: The larger, mallet
head designs
of the GOLO putters work in harmony with the
10-inch Matador Red Midsize grip. The grip,
weighing in at 77 grams, feels great and
promotes a more stable stroke.
“There is a recipe to grip weight versus head
weight versus shaft length and flex,” Cameron
said. “The grip very much compliments the
head. When you pick up a larger head and you
have a skinny grip, something doesn’t fit. If you
pick up a smaller head, like a Newport, and you
have a large grip it doesn’t fit. So the grip
compliments the head and with GOLO we’ve
dialed in all the weights to be perfect.”
MODERN YET TIMELESS LOOKS:
New GOLO
models honor the silver-and-red designs that
have become synonymous with Scotty Cameron
putters across the worldwide professional tours,
boasting a soft Silver Mist finish with Scotty’s
race-car inspired, framed and double-milled
cherry dot graphics in the back and cherry dot
weights in the sole. The Matador Red Midsize
grip further enhances the look. The addition of
the contrasting dark anodized face-sole core
results in what Cameron describes as “a new
GOLO line that is more mechanical and industrial
with elegance.”
