My only question is, what is stopping Ping from making brand new ones for their players and saying they are old?


Seriously? Really? You think a Monster like Ping would risk that with the belief that no one would ever say anything? Are you the CEO of Businessfail, Inc.?

Phil would slap the piss out of all you little pussies that bitch about him. STFU. He's not breaking any rules.

Research, dude. Don't make shite up. It was a settlement in a lawsuit against Ping years ago.



I know. I read this also. It is still a loophole that the PGA could have closed with the wording of the rule. They could have specifically included these clubs in the exclusion.

Contradict yourself much?

The PGA made the RULE. Phil is following the rule.




He is following the rule but not the spirit of the rule or the game at that level. He is following the rule to the letter in a way to get around it. Doesn't make him right. And other players have a right to call him out on it.

Finchem and David Fay need to negotiate with the Solheim family and resolve this ASAP. Even though Phil is legally within the rules playing the square groove wedge it's not within the "spirit" of the rules. It's a PR nightmare for the PGA Tour.

That was what the lawsuit was for...

Next time a player asks to remove his ball from play due to a scuff or get a causal water drop from moist ground or asks for 100 people to move a boulder or ... well you get my point

With the cheating that has come out in pretty much every sport you think it's above anyone now?

they should have put in a sunset clause for the exemption...Calcavechia was using the entire set for years, may still be.

Phil is a total a-hole, but you can't call him a cheater, that's just not true.

why would they risk their entire business by making fake 1989 clubs for a few pros, they have absolutely nothing to gain by it.

Correct .. In fact Ping never even paid pros to endorse their clubs until very recently. No way ...

I doubt that you are going to find a link, but its rumored that Phil is not a favorite among his peers.
