You can own an all-original 1966 vintage Ping Scottsdale 69BC Croquet putter in excellent condition! Want one of these rare beauties but don’t want to spend $2,000 for one in mint condition? Here’s your chance. Look closely at the photos and you’ll see this is an extremely nice putter and would be an amazing addition to your collection. These putters were only produced for a short time and were only sold by special order (see pic of Ping ad). When they were deemed them illegal for competition, production stopped. Note: This is NOT one of the extra-long models produced in the 1990s. The curved shaft and hand-ground Golf Pride Informer cork grip are original to the putter. You can see in the pictures that the head is in excellent condition with very minor bag wear/dings on it. You can clearly see the 32 3 stamped on the sole. The shaft and grip are in excellent condition as well. The only negatives are the missing shaft band, a very small (1/16") blemish midway up the shaft and a small area of chrome flaking (1/4") just above the head (see last photo). Here are the club specs: Shaft: 32”, 4 steps, first at approx. 7.75” bend at approx. 18.5” Head Cavity Stamp:

My family has been in the antiques and collectables business for over 40 years, so I’m experienced at packing valuable items, or you can pick this up in person if it is convenient. I am located in the Kansas City area.
