Dardar had what appeared to be a nasty ankle injury but then popped back up a few minutes later
My dad went to LSU in the late 70s. Family packed up and moved to Georgia in 1998 when I was a kid. I told myself I’d be back and I’m the only one who did. Class of 2010, BA in History

Just got back. The whole show was fantastic.


People can say whatever they want. Zach put on a hell of a show tonight. Worst experience all night was the hour it took to get out the old Box lot 404

Doesn’t appear to be anything significantly better than my GT2 so I’ll just stick with that
We got in line just before 5PM and probably 6-700 people in front of us. We managed to get one for my son. They’re actually pretty nice

In terms of shape? Not much. Bettinardi BB8 is their Anser 2 shape. Lots of factors though in terms of feel, but especially as you go up the price chain. The higher end BB8s would be soft carbon or DASS (Double Aged Stainless Steel) which is what is used on most Tour Dept and Hive models. It’s their proprietary blend of stainless steel.

And unlike most manufacturers, Bettinardi has a multitude of different face millings to match your putting style. Fit Face and Roll Control Face are horizontal mills and the softest feeling. These work best for me as I tend to have a little aggressive putting stroke

Yep. Heads were produced in California and then shipped to Bob in Tinley Park, IL to be milled. I respect both but find the Bettinardi community much more enjoyable than the Cameron groups

That’s super clean man. I love the dancing Bettinardi cavity stamps. Fit Face & RC are my favorite millings. Perfect feel

Honestly I find the Tour Dept stuff holds value better than the Hive.

Post some pics of it. The good thing since it’s from 2019, is that no COAs were issued for any Tour Dept gear up until the last couple of years. So most of the BB8s and BB0s, there’s no determining factor on its production date due to this

Although my numbers outweigh it, I personally like the Tour Dept stuff to game because they’re more simplistic and not busy. It’s a tough market these days when it comes to reselling. Most Hive models run $1900-2200 and I see guys daily selling them for huge losses

Same here man. I’ll make it up to Studio B at some point. I have a Poison Stinger BB8 Tri with Mokume inlay and another Acid Wash Chicago Wiz one. They don’t get much use these days since my BB0 and I are getting along lol

I have 8 Hive models at the moment: four BB0s, two BB8 Tris, one SS3, and one QB9.

Also have four Tour Dept BB0s (my favorite head shape)

Welcome to the club lol.

The fact is both Bettinardi and Cameron make great putters. I have a cool dozen of Hive and Tour Dept models that are awesome. The variety of face milling options is what sets them apart for me, as well as the price point. For the price of a standard Circle T, I can have multiple putters that are 1/1 or straight off their Tour Truck. Plus the variety of designs on their headcovers
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, go check out Royal GMC. I bought a 2026 AT4 with the baby Duramax in November. They were able to beat prices from Gerry Lane and Ross Downing

They’re awesome and a lot of fun to see live. We’ve went to see them the last two years at Chelsea’s in BR and hung out with James after the show last year.

They just announced a 4/25 show at Chelsea’s just a little bit ago

It has its moments and can be busy at times. But mainly because everyone is playing the same 9 holes. We played Saturday morning/afternoon in a little under four hours. And that included a twenty minute break watching some drunk idiots drive their cart into a pond lol

Edit: One thing to note is that putting is basically a non-factor out there. The greens are shag carpet. But it’s a fun little narrow course for them to help learn their swing
I try and watch whenever I can. My uncle fishes on the MLF
