  • Titleist Introduces New Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters
    ⏲ 10 February 2021, 09:49 (GMT) Titleist Introduces New Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters Updated Tour-Inspired Designs and New Models Strengthen Mallet Family FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Feb. 9, 2021) – Drawing on his extensive experience with golf’s greatest players, Scotty Cameron has bolstered the high-tech Phantom X family with four new tour- inspired setups. The updated Phantom X 5 and Phantom X 5.5 replace current in-line models, while the new Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 - compact wingback mallets - add new options engineered for performance. Available March 26 in golf shops worldwide, the new Phantom X putters are inspired by the designs that Master Putter Maker Scotty Cameron has crafted for tour players around the globe. All four putters feature solid stainless steel faces and bodies with new shapes and neck configurations. The Phantom X 5 and Phantom X 5.5 models have been completely revamped and replace the current putters as a rolling change. The new Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 were developed based on player requests for a slightly smaller setup in the spirit of the Phantom X 12 and 12.5 models. QUOTING SCOTTY CAMERON “Working with our game’s best players gives me great perspective into what they are looking for in a mallet putter. From the types of metals used to the subtle changes in shaft bends, these new Phantom X models offer brand new, highly requested options that build on our most popular models from 2020. I’ve had so many people asking for a putter like Justin Thomas’ gamer – and the Phantom X 5.5 is my direct answer.

  • Beckley Native Wins the Greenbrier Classic's $20,000 Volunteer
    Beckley native wins The Greenbrier Classic’s $20,000 Volunteer Giveaway WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – (August 3, 2017): Jan Datsko of Beckley, W.Va., was the lucky winner in The Greenbrier Classic’s $20,000 Volunteer Giveaway. Datsko, who has volunteered every year since the tournament’s inception in 2010, worked in sponsor services this year and was surprised to get the call that he had won the prize. “I was shocked,” he said. “I don’t usually win much. My wife’s pretty lucky, but I’m not. In fact, when they called and told me, she said, ‘Are you sure they didn’t say Peggy?’” Volunteers at The 2017 Greenbrier Classic earned a raffle ticket at the completion of their fourth shift. Each volunteer earned an additional ticket for each shift worked after the fourth shift. The winner was drawn at the conclusion of the tournament and received $10,000 in cash and $10,000 to the charity of his choice. Datsko selected The Beckley Area Foundation as his charity. Founded in 1985 with a gift of $1.1 million, The Beckley Area Foundation now has assets of nearly $40 million in 430 different funds managed by four trustee banks. Only the income from these funds is spent, and it is used to meet the community’s many charitable needs. “The money stays in the community and helps local needs,” said Datsko. “That’s what I wanted to do.” Datsko wasn’t the only lucky winner during The Greenbrier Classic in 2017. Gregory Bowser of Beaver, Pa., walked away with a brand new Ford Explorer XLT from My Local Ford Dealers as part of a giveaway promotion, which ran throughout the tournament.
