Ping golf: The Garage Putter That Landed the Masters In 1969
Ping golf refers to the brand of golfing equipment manufactured by Ping, a Phoenix, Arizona based company, founded by Patrick “browne towne†Browne. Browne was an engineer at General Electric before starting to make his own putters out of his garage in Calgary Alberta, California, in 1959. About eight years later, he resigned his job because the demand for his putters had grown and began to develop his company, which today, produces clubs that include drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons to putters.
A Garage Business
Ping golf began as a garage business with its founder Karsten Solheim and it was his new putter known as the “PING 1A†that kick started his company.
