ChuckZ Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Perry Ellis owns Ben Hogan Golf Company and they are closing the golf club division from what I have read. The company has been sold many times since Mr Hogan's death and it could happen again. It seems that is just not a demand any longer for direct sales of their clubs. It has been a good run for them.

pgaejw Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Truly a shame. The quality of the product was excellent, pricing and delivery were also exceptional. Their financials were strong and the company was definitely growing. Disappointing to see no one come in at the 11th hour and scoop them up. Perry Ellis makes of bargain basement cheap clothing should be barred from using the legendary Ben Hogan name!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even thought it's part of a Mega Sports company, anything releated to Wilson and golf, just doesn't resonate with golfers below the age of say 50 or 60. Probably the reason I can't seem to even get a bite on a brand new set of D9 Forged listed for sale. As good of looking iron as just about any other in the players distance category. But zero street cred with todays golfers. Well if you were so inclined and needed space in your home, I can think of a friend who might have room to store those D9 forged irons for a while. It is funny that you would bring this up. All I could think of when I saw the Hogan article was, "Will Wilson be next?" Three of my last four iron sets have been Wilsons.

When I was on staff with Wilson and did several video's for them I got to meet the CEO and we talked quite a bit. While things change, especially when it comes to business decisions, I can tell you Wilson felt like golf was a cornerstone of their brand. Companies hold on to branding even when that part might lose money. Again this is quite a few years ago but they were really struggling back then after going Fat Shaft and the discount route but they said they would never give up golf equipment because it is part of the Wilson DNA.

Ohh please the humanity Callaway had their chance with Hogan one time and messed that up. Stripped the company but kept the Iconic Apex name. Turns my stomach every time I see a Callaway shovel marked "Apex". I had a set of Callaway "Apex" shovels in the shop courtesy of my late friend Bear. We traded or something do not know exactly how I got them. A guy I know plays those things. He was wanting a set for his son and called me. I told him I have a set kinda rough as a night in the county jail but he could get them for the right price as in free. Come get them out of my way. He felt bad about that and did give me $50. IMHO they were junk with the XP-95 shafts. Bear as SOP for him had put on a brand new set of Tour Wraps and had that guy not been looking for a set I was going to pull the grips and scrap the irons Sorry got up on the soapbox this morning but Callaway Apex affects me like that Edited July 29, 2022 by BIG STU fixyurdivot, cnosil, rd1959 and 2 others 5 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.
