Greetings
Hope your Thanksgiving was joyous. I noticed the 50th anniversary of Ping is coming next year. Have you wondered what golf would be like without the input of Karsten Solheim?
If you play with a set of perimeter weighted clubs, thank Karsten. If you putt with a putter with heel and toe weighting, thank Karsten. I remember seeing the original Ping putters and irons and thinking they were the ugliest things I'd ever seen. However, I have come to tolerate and use clubs which follow his design principles. I used a Ping Rite-In putter to win several college tournaments and the 1976 Michigan Amateur.
The Ping website has a complete history of Karsten and his road to changing the way Golf is played.
Until next time, thanks.
Mike Hurley
