The putter specs will be entered into a database, photographed noting one or more of the alterations, and be embossed with a raised seal. It will also include a hologram, attesting to the document authenticity, and a registry number beginning with the letter B. The registry number can be used to access our website database for further reference.

A putter is considered significantly modified if an original Scotty Cameron putter has had any of the following aftermarket changes, none of which infringe on Titleist/Scotty Cameron trademarks and/or intellectual property:
- Shape

- Weight
The significantly modified putter will receive a Certificate of Authenticity with a Blue border with notations regarding any and all changes to the putter.

Trademark/Intellectual Property modifications
A putter is considered to have trademark and/or intellectual property modifications if an original Scotty Cameron putter has infringing stampings such as the crown logo, circle T stamp, Titleist logo, etc., made outside the Studio. A putter with infringing stampings submitted for authentication will NOT receive a Certificate of Authenticity, but rather a letter with a Green border stating that the putter has modifications that infringe on Scotty Cameron/Titleist trademarks and/or intellectual property. We encourage anyone that has mistakenly purchased an infringing putter to pursue the seller for restitution and pass along the source to us so that we may cross reference other claims and stop individuals with a history of defrauding buyers.
Counterfeit
A counterfeit putter was NOT made by nor has any affiliation with the Titleist/Scotty Cameron Putter Studio. It will NOT receive a Certificate of Authenticity, but rather a letter with a Grey border stating that the putter submitted was found to be a forgery. Again, if you have mistakenly purchased a counterfeit putter we encourage you to pursue the seller for restitution. Please visit our page regarding Counterfeit Putters and provide us with information about trademark infringement as well as counterfeit putters.
