The Ping Scottsdale Model III was produced by Karsten shortly after he arrived in Arizona in 1960.  It is the exact putter as the Redwood City Model III except Karsten changed the address plate used in the mold from the Redwood city address to his new Scottsdale, AZ address.

When Karsten moved to Paradise Valley, a suburb of Phoenix in 1960, he set up a Post Office box in Scottsdale in order to differential his business address from another putter maker operating in Phoenix—John Reuter, Jr., the maker of the Bulls-Eye line.  Karsten marked all of his clubs with the Scottsdale address so anybody who saw another golfer using a PING putter would know where to write to place an order. in late 1966, Karsten moved from his garage to a small commercial building in Phoenix.  For more on the early history of Ping and its equipment, see And The Putter Went Ping.

Measuring 35 1/2" in length, this Scottsdale Model III is a prime example in all respects. The shaft is original as is the grip, and the the head is in outstanding condition with all marks deep and clear.
