Heard back from PING CS. They asked for pictures. Pics sent. Stand by.

sdandrea1 Ping will tell you they don’t have a clue. Hope I’m wrong but they’ve never been much help to me on questions like that.

I think you should learn some Sammy mannerisms so when you use the club you can walk and talk like him. Close one eye too. So much for fitting😂😂… You’re what 6’2 and Sammy was 5’ tall??!!😂😂

PING is tapping the "historian"! I sent pics.

Ping Historian…🙄👍. So that’s an actual job you can apply for? I don’t tell people what I do for work because I’m embarrassed…. What about him??

You gotta be shitting me…

There's a rich history of innovation at PING. Nothing wrong with keeping it recorded accurately. I wouldn't be embarrassed at all. I'd be surprised if Callaway and Titleist aren't doing the same.

sdandrea1 That job may be open in the near future. He's 76 now. Typical 'rock star'!! 👍

Par4QC PapaD can't be a curator of a museum, the place would be a revolving door of golf gear. The historical stuff would be 2 weeks old.😎

I'd have to be curator of someone else's museum......with no property rights or permissions.......even perceived or implied!

The guys on the PING NUTS Facebook page are all nuts about this club. I'm still waiting on the historian to reply.

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 All this and worth $12 shipped😂

sdandrea1 likely not working much over the holiday/s being a Ping Historian 🙃......hopefully he has some g🤑🤑 d mews for you!

One of the Facebook guys was tickling me about it being worth $500. Another said he's first in line on dibs. 😵‍💫

sdandrea1 ByeBye el Chip-O!!😲

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 Will PapaD sell a club for $500 or actually keep one for the grands to sell?? I'd sell.

Perhaps PING will make an offer for their museum.

I'm not going to advertise it. I actually like using it for bump&run shots and it's a great conversation piece on the course. I am interested in hearing from the PING guy.
