PING ChipR – Just in Time for The Open

PING announces the ChipR.The ChipR is designed to help golfers with shots from 40 yards and in.Retail price is $195 (steel) and $210 (graphite).

When major championships roll around, it’s not unusual for golf equipment manufacturers to take advantage of the visibility to release specialty clubs designed to tackle the unique conditions of that specific course. The Open, for example, is where driving irons were born. That said, I’d wager you won’t find a single PING ChipR in play at St Andrews this week.

If I’m wrong (and I kinda hope I am), the chipper will have instant and previously unimaginable credibility.

To be clear, PING is a very serious manufacturer whose name is synonymous with golf club engineering. But, yes, they are releasing a chipper … excuse me … a ChipR.

No, today isn’t April 1 so I’ll give you a moment to take that in.

Tiger On LIV Defectors: "They've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position"

Strong words from Tiger Woods ahead of The Open. On players who have left for the LIV Golf circuit:

I think that what they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position.

Some players have never got a chance to even experience it. They've gone right from the amateur ranks right into that organisation and never really got a chance to play out here and what it feels like to play a TOUR schedule or to play in some big events.

And who knows what's going to happen in the near future with world-ranking points, the criteria for entering major championships. The governing body is going to have to figure that out.

Some of these players may not ever get a chance to play in major championships. That is a possibility. We don't know that for sure yet. It's up to all the major championship bodies to make that determination. But that is a possibility, that some players will never, ever get a chance to play in a major championship, never get a chance to experience this right here, walk down the fairways at Augusta National.

Monday At The 150th Open: Celebration Of Champions Brings Out The GOATs

One must take time to know the Old Course in all its moods. One must study the subtleties of its terrain and its curiously shifting winds. One must find its hidden snares and one must approach it without preconceptions of what a golf course should be. To be down the middle may mean nothing there; that may be quite the wrong place. To be long may mean nothing in less length is shrewdly used. To be able to play a few shots perfectly is not always enough; one must at times have the full repertoire. ROBERT HUNTER

Ryoma Maxima U Utility

The Ultimate Head Structure – Like No Other

After spending 8 years developing the previous model, which was evaluated by many golfers as being easy to hit. That Greatly exceeds its performance appeared “the next-generation UT”.
