The Newport Beach has a long classic history on Tour with a winning reputation. Scotty takes the refined Newport head, milled from 303 stainless, wider from front to back with a thinner topline, and cuts a slit into the face of the putter, stopping just short of the topline. This floating face gives the Newport Beach a distinctive sound, which translates directly to feel. Traditionally, the slit was cut into the flange of the putter but as the cut is moved closer to the face Scotty can manipulate the sound pitch changing the feel of the putter. The Newport Beach first originated in 1997 when approximately 100 putters were made for use on Tour.
