Golf Clubs : What You Should Know About Ping Golf Clubs

By Ray Lam


About five decades ago, an engineer named Karsten Solheim was playing golf. He was not very satisfied with his putting performance, so he tried creating a new putter. With his engineering background, he was soon able to put together a new putter that he found suitable. He tried it out on the ball, and the putt was perfect. As he hit the ball, the putter made a sound. Solheim did not know it yet, but he had just invented the great Ping golf club.

Today, the PING Golf Corporation makes a full line of premier golf clubs and a host other golf improvement products. PING continues to operate as a family owned company. Their products are sold worldwide in over 70 countries. Today, golf professionals frequently use PING golf clubs in tournament play.

During this time, the Ping golf clubs have already become quite popular in golf circles everywhere. Sales were growing continuously with every week. But when the Ping golf clubs were featured in Sports Illustrated, that is when business became seriously big for Solheim. Ping golf clubs were suddenly all the rage, and golfers everywhere couldn't wait to get their hands on a set of the pleasant-sounding putters.

There is always a good woman behind every successful businessperson and Solheim's wife said this was the answer to all golfers putting needs, thus came the name "Anser" putter. This club was accepted by the USGA and is today allowed in tournaments everywhere. Many professionals have used the Anser putter to win tournaments everywhere. Ping golf clubs took the market by storm and continues to be the "in putter" for all golfers.

Although many designs of the Ping golf clubs were very popular among golfers, only the Anser is acceptable to the USGA because of tournament rules. But even though it is the only member of the Ping golf club family that is approved by the USGA, it has been responsible for bringing many victories to a lot of pro golfers for many years now.
