Hello Guys,

Only started with Byrons not so long ago and really love what I have so far. Not so many as yet but hope you like what I have as much as I do. Looking forward to adding to this thread.

First up is the first Byron I acquired. It is 23/25 DBCM in Mystic Pearl. I am a great fan of milling and this is some of the best I have seen.

Kind regards,
Rob

My second Byron is an absolute beauty I scored off a great member here by scrolling through the swap shop. Byron confirmed for me it is 1 of 4 Epic Day Handmade he did around 2003. I thought the DBCM had crazy good milling until this one landed ha ha.

Next up is another functional work of art from a great member here and the swap shop once again. It is a DH89 at 350g in Mystic Pearl with custom stamps, softened bumpers, a roll top, welded high beam rincon neck and hidden sound slot. It has a black Iomic grip and is my gamer in summer on quality greens where not too much harm can come to her.

I wandered into my local used gear shop in Balmain here in Sydney to talk to the mad Irishman that runs it and he produced this old gem to show me - SOLD. I have no idea how it found it's way here, but I am an absolute sucker for early putters with some history to them. I am assuming by the headweight of 365g that it was produced for the Asian market, but have reached out to you guys in another thread here hoping to get some more information. I just love the specs. stamped on the sole. This will be my gamer here in winter when the greens get slow and dewey.

Yeah baby!! She just arrived today, courtesy of one of my good friends who met with Byron last week. As a bonus surprise, I opened the package to find a green leather skull and bones stitchback he had thrown in just because he is a top bloke!!

Rob,
Very nice start. Can't go wrong with the DBCM, I own #13 and one of my favorites, although used sparingly.
I also like the green grip, I have the same grip but in red on my DH89.

Thank You,
Dave

Hello Mate,

Forgot about this; I also have the Masters Stitchback now as I am sure you have also as well as these 'goodies'.

Kind regards,
Rob

Here is the latest Blade to arrive and she is GORGEOUS!! I am assuming 303 - with a misted Blue Oil finish and Tiffany Paintfill. Like all the DBCM's, the micro milling is gorgeous and looks like a laddered stocking! She came with a black Stitchbacxk and is wearing the Sex Wax cover which my naughty dog was eyeing off for a chance to bolt with!

RIPPING!!!!

Rob,
Good morning. Oh yeah, you better believe that I have the augusta grip. Was very happy to get one. I really like my red stitchback. Waiting for the next Bombora and will probably ship this grip to Byron and have the color theme set for Arnie's umbrella colors.

Dave

Rob McHugh · « **Reply #10 on:** June 14, 2017, 07:06:00 AM »

That last DBCM was the new favourite until this beauty arrived this week.

This one ticks every box:
Byron Morgan Copper
8802 / DBCM
Rare hand Stamps
Cork Salty Grip
Japan release Headcover

Here is an absolute killer gamer.

A Tour (confirmed by the man) 8811; one of fifty made in 2012. It is GSS, 360g / 34" and is all business. It has a black leather stitchback grip and the best Byron Headcover I have seen in a really plush leather.

This putter has absolutely gorgeous lines.

... the 'extras'

Rob

Rob McHugh · « **Reply #13 on:** March 28, 2018, 08:06:19 AM »

I have been fortunate enough to recently acquire what is a 'Holy Grail' to me - a set of the Byron Anniversary putters.
They numbered 89 putters in total with only 11 of the solid Copper. The other two are soft Carbon and Stainless. I love the fact that these putters were given the 'spa' treatment right from the get go - exotic Lizard grips and soft Kid Skin Leather Headcovers with plush lining.

These are flat sticks that just bring a smile to your face every time you look at them. I will be ever grateful to John for seeing them to my collection and a certain G Palombi who facilitated things.

I will post individual shots of each putter in the future.

The soft Carbon.

Rob McHugh · « **Reply #15 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:40:02 PM »

More soft Carbon.

Rob McHugh · « **Reply #16 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:42:35 PM »

The Stainless.

Rob

Rob McHugh · « **Reply #17 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:45:38 PM »

Last, but by no means least - The solid Copper.

Rob

Rob McHugh · « **Reply #18 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:48:00 PM »

Hot off the press - I had posted somewhere that the grips were Snake, then someone told me the grips were Lizard, however, I have now been reliably informed that the grips ARE Sea-Snake. So there you go - a bit of both!

G'day Rob,

Some great new Byron additions there mate. I've often ogled the anniversary putters (earlier in thread) when they occasionally come up but just can't buy what I wouldn't play...and I'm no good with a plumbers neck.

I'm thinking my Gallery fitting later this year might well be followed with a Byron Custom oreder to my specs as I think the Scotty options will be outrageously expensive (as any Gallery putters are).

If and when we catch up on course I'll be making a list of what I'd like to have a play with mate. Your summer Byron putter would be a good start (and will make an exception on my PN rule)

T.J. · « **Reply #23 on:** April 11, 2018, 12:41:43 AM »

Great pick up! very rare indeed!

I have #29 Steel and Carbon and #29 Capt Morgan, 29 is my wedding day,,,,,,

Since your a big fan of the 8802, here is my Copper plated GSS 8802,,,,,,,,,,

Hello mate!
The summer gamer is a Rincon / flow neck anyway so you are sweet there!
