PING Golf Clubs



I think this is something that all golfers should be aware of. In
fact, all Americans should be aware of this.




THANK YOU, PING
This isn't a joke or cartoon; just something interesting to know .
Please forward this on to others.

On Monday, I played the Disney, Lake Buena Vista course. As usual the
starters matched me with three other players. After a few holes we
began to get to know each other a bit. One fellow was rather young and
had his wife riding along in the golf cart with him. I noticed that
his golf bag had his name on it and after closer inspection it also
said "wounded war veterans".

When I had my first chance to chat with him I asked him about the bag.
His response was simply that it was a gift. I then asked if he was
wounded and he said yes. When I asked more about his injury, his
response was "I'd rather not talk about it, sir".

Over a few holes I learned that he had spent the last 15 months in an
army rehabilitation hospital in San Antonio, Texas. His wife moved
there to be with him and he was released from the hospital in
September. He was a rather quiet fellow; however, he did say that he
wanted to get good at golf. We had a nice round and as we became a bit
more familiar I asked him about the brand new set of Ping woods and
irons he was playing. Some looked like they had never been hit.

His response was simple. He said that this round was the first full
round he had played with these clubs. Later in the round he told me
the following. As part of the discharge process from the
rehabilitation hospital, Ping comes in and provides three days of
golf instruction, followed by club fitting. Upon discharge from the
hospital, Ping gives each of the discharged veterans, generally
about 40 soldiers, a brand new set of custom fitted clubs along with
the impressive golf bags.

The fellow I met was named Ben Woods and he looked me in the eye and
said that being fitted for those clubs was one of the best things that
ever happened to him and he was determined to learn to play golf well
enough to deserve the gift Ping had given him. Ben is now out of the
service medically discharged just a month ago. He is as fine a young
man as you would ever want to meet.

Ping , whose products are made with pride here in America (Arizona),
has the good judgment not to advertise this program. God Bless America
and the game of golf.

Thank you PING!

May God Bless our Military!

This one deserves to be shared with everybody!
