Did you know Lorena Ochoa ......

is ahead by 10 strokes and uses a 7* Ping G5 driver and hits Ping i5 irons? And you guys give me all this static about my Pings. Second place is (drool) Paula Creamer hitting her TaylorMade's.

$$$, dude.

If you paid me $200 a month, I wouldn't play Ping.

Creamer is my favorite anyway, and she plays TaylorMade.

Not to mention, *growl*

Boycott away. I've thought about this and have a few comments.

If Mizuno or TaylorMade did the same thing and you had a bag full of them you just bought would you no longer mention or brag about your clubs? I doubt it. Whatever Ping does to their retailers will be their mistake. I'm not shutting up about the clubs I'm hitting because of it. And I'm not sorry.

I agree with WBL, and have some comments of my own.

I'm not a retailer, so they didn't do anything to me. Also, the retailer's in question knew Ping's ways and went against them, anyway (we all know Ping is very controlling). Frankly, they did it to themselves and Ping simply decided to do what they said they would do.

Another question...why hasn't ST updated the front page story? My understanding is that Ping has come out with a veteran's program and may have re-instated one of the dealers in question. Why not follow up and give the full story?

Sorry for the rant, just felt like it should be said.

And, yes, I would buy Ping. Almost did recently, but I got a great deal on some TM's that saved me around $350.00 that I really didn't need to spend.

It was a month ago and I totally forgot about the boycott on Ping because I was so blown away by the results of it. Back then I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had remembered the "boycott" but now, the way I feel, I'm glad I did because I love it.



Oh, and other Ping players near the top were: Angela Stanford, Dorothy Delasin, Sherri Steinhauer and Pat Hurst

My thoughts exactly. There are two sides to every story. I've contacted Ping with my concerns, and they've answered every question honestly and openly............as I'm sure they would all of yours. I LOVE my Pings..........I think they look great, they feel great when you hit the ball, the results are great, and ...........oh yeah, I'm a combat Veteran.

Man, just to think that if Lorena Ochoa was playing a real driver, she'd be winning everything. It sure is generous of her to play with that handicap off the tee.

I'm fairly new here and I have a dumb question.

Why is there hatred towards Ping?
