I was browsing the net and found a cool article from the Sports Illustrated Vault. I have mentioned that I got my first “real” putter in May 1995 for college graduation and it was an Odyssey Dual Force 990. I don’t have the original one because it was stolen, but my wife (then fiancée) bought me a replacement as a wedding gift in 1998 and I still have that one and play it for long stretches.
It is amazing how far the putting industry has come and the article talks about Odyssey failing at the January 1994 PGA Merchandise show but then had a number of victories on the Senior Tour and the rest is history. It also talks quite a bit about Scotty Cameron and the Titleist merger of 1994. I find the golf industry history fascinating. Of course I have also said that I found Johnny Miller entertaining, so YMMV. https://www.si.com/vault/1995/01/30...at-stick-industry-into-a-182-million-business
