I left Club Cameron an few years ago now for similar reasons. I do not think we will see a similar club up north unfortunately - even if we did, we might save on shipping but the price would be similar I suspect.

I buy the head covers on eBay. You can get them for around $100-$125 if you are patient and willing to wait.
The shipping costs of $65 used plus taxes and duties are ridiculous. Looks good and the water bottle looks nice but that ends up being a $150 water bottle.

You're not nuts. The price is completely out of hand.

Try eBay/marketplace. they pop up from time to time. I think I have 3 covers?? 2023-2024-2025 so far. for $100-$125 they are cool to collect

Best of luck

If you live close to the border, it might be worth looking into a U.S. mail service. I’ve done it a few times with eBay and it can help cut down some of the fees.

That said, I’m skipping this year too. I play a Phantom and didn’t get lucky enough to snag a mallet headcover the couple times they dropped last year. Between availability and the added costs, it just didn’t line up for me this time around.

Yeah, the last purchase I made was a mallet speed shop cover. $95, but almost $250 delivered. Crazy

I buy the head covers and look for them on Scotty Cameron Canada (Facebook) as I like to deal in CAD and just e transfer them. Never been ripped off... They are all good guys

You can expect to pay $100-$125 for a cover (new) but you have to be patient at this price is the only thing. Seen the new 26 head cover on eBay but ordering from the states with the tariffs etc is just an absolute pain in the butt... and expensive.

It can financially get out of hand quick however if you are firm and stick to a price you should be OK

Just have to be patient. I currently have 22-23-24-25 club Cameron heaecovers

Good Luck and I totally 100% agree with you

Collecting Scotty Cameron is not for everyone and it is highly addictive. And buying a membership doesn't guarantee that you can even get a release. It just guarantees you will be on your computer Mondays and Tuesdays of big tournaments F5ing your finger raw.

I guess if you look at the kit: release head covers are $90 usd, the plain wine bottle flask (if it holds 750ml can you call it a flask?) retails for $130 usd on the manufacturer's website (without the Scotty markup), stickers and pin another $25. So I guess this is a "value" buy?

Yes, $55 us for shipping is out of hand. There were no tariff charges on it only GST, you can get around the $11 Fed Ex charge sometimes with a Fed Ex account (sometimes they miss it on their end)

The exchange is not great around 1.37 ish but it has been worse, some of us remember Jan 2002 when it was 1.62.
(Yes I'm old and was in the importing business back then, not fun)

I respect your decision, gone are the days of a $150 landed cost.
