Putt for Dough With A Phil Mickelson Inspired Putter

Filed under: Sports

Hello golfers, here's a limited edition club that you're going to have to not only pay dearly for but race for as well. It's the Odyssey ProType 82 and it's all about Phil Mickelson, inspired by the putter he used to win his 4th major tournament the 2010 Masters. Features include Odyssey's White Ice insert (with a Tungsten weight behind it), a sightline specially requested by Mickelson that stretches from the face of the club down the back flange, and a green highlight on the sole as a nod to his win and third Green Jacket. Only 164 Odyssey ProType 82 putters will be made, 82 left-handed and 82 right-handed, all numbered and protected by a signature Phil Mickelson headcover and Black Series grip. The price? $500.

Here's where the racing part comes in: in order to get one you have to log on to OdysseyGolf.com on May 10th 2010 at 11am EST and if you're one of the first 82 lefties/82 righties to register you'll get the chance to buy one. If not I guess you're outta luck. How fast do you think they'll go?

When I was first learning to play golf when I was young, it was a big thrill that there were finally orange and lime green balls. Then came the hot pink golf balls and I was in heaven. My teenage self would have loved this pretty princess putter from The GoldenPutter but it would have been a bit out of my price range. Each Golden Putter has a 24 carat gold plated shaft, a leather grip (in pink but other colors are available) and a head with customizable crystal inlays. The First Special Lady Edition of the "GoldenPutter" will be available for 1995 euros. For those with more money to spend there is the possibility to create a diamond lady putter will be available for around $150,000.

The data can them be analyzed. The club also comes with a practice weight for recreational use. As you might suspect, it's not USGA approved. It sells for around $400.
