Jiro Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Got this notification in the inbox today for a new book coming out. It is for a 530 page?!? book covering the history of Ping for $100. Nice coffee table book for a golf history buff I guess but the price is pretty steep--you are halfway to a new Ping putter at that point.

poprocksncoke Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I remember when you could buy a Ping putter for 59.95, now you have to spend 100 for a book about them? SLDR 10.5 Oban HB R11s Rip Phenom Ft.

jaskanski Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Agreed. Lets be honest - is there anything in the book that you can't read on the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted May 4, 2017 SPY VIP Share Posted May 4, 2017 I've got the book and it's impressive. Probably weighs five pounds. Careful when it hits the coffee table. It's definitely not a cheap book to make. LOTS of full color gloss all over the place. Tons of info about PING and the golf industry. As a PING fan, I'm looking forward to reading it, and honored to be in it. Page 480 to be exact.

TSauer Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Beats the Designed by Apple which is only 300 pages for $200. Plus, I'm sure it's far more interesting.

McaseyM Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Dave, since your name's in it, does that mean you can say you've been published??? Love the book's name. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any discounts though, as PING will only lower prices when the next one comes out.

Badfish Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm a Ping guy. Have been for nearly thirty years. I don't think Ping gets enough credit for the innovation they have contributed to the golf industry. Putters, irons, and custom fitting to name a few. I mean how many "fancy" milled $400 + putters are out there that are direct copies of an Anser? Sure they could be milled instead of cast, jeweled, bedazzled, friggin dipped in chocolate. Its a copy. Not a rant, but rather a tip of the hat to an original.
