If you go to visit Ping Golf headquarters, you must not miss the famous Gold Putter Vault. I had heard it before that every winning PING putter will be copied and coated with a layer of gold (24K) in order to commemorate the winner. And these putters are exactly the same as the original ones in the aspects of length, lie, grip, size, weight, etc. Ping usually copies two such putters, one for the winner, one for a collection in the Ping golf’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Thus the coolest collection in the world was born.
Ping’s professional players win four major tournament championships; they are fortunately to get a genuine gold putter. And the collection vault is golf-plated putter. Like 2007 U.S. Open winner, Angel Cabrera, not only he got a pure gold putter, but also his wife got a miniature gold pendant as a memento.
There are Tiger woods 1995 US Amateur Champion Putter, Cabrera's Masters champion putter, Severiano Ballesteros 1983 Masters Champion putter, the lefty Bubba Watson 2011 farmers Insurance Open Champion putter, Lee Westwood $30 million career winner putter, Antonio Maldonado 2006 Mexican Open Champion putter, Suzann Pettersen Mcdonalds 2007 LPGA Champion putter(this putter is the most expensive ping putter up to now, which is a pure gold putter) and so on.
This tradition was founded by Castro, the founder of Ping Golf Clubs Co. to express appreciation to golf players. At that time, PING had not yet begun to spend money sponsoring on players. There were various kinds of ways to commemorate victories. Only Ping Golf’s gold putter vault continues all the time and becomes to be a classic. Up to now, the Golf Putter Vault of Ping Golf has a total collection of more than 4,000 putters. The first putter belongs to John Barnum, who used model 69 Ping Putter and won the Cajun Classic champion in 1962. These winners have achieved 47 major tournament champions, including 1988 four majors. PING Anser putters occupy the most part with more than 500 records.
Just dream if I can go visit this vault alone, that must be so exciting and amazing. Unfortunately it is not able to come true. You could not breathe at such a golden room surrounded by golf putters. Pictures in your mind began to flash; this putter helped whom to win which tour...
Every week, there is a new putter added in this collection room. Next time when you see a Ping Putter in winner’s hand, you will realize that Ping vault will make empty place for this putter.
