Posted before about my workmate's ongoing saga with his new Ping irons. He was custom fitted at the EK branch of American Golf last May and was originally told 6-7 weeks for delivery. 8 weeks comes and goes with no contact from the shop, so he contacts them to be told there was a delay and it would be August. He wasn't pleased, but thought at least he would get the last couple of months of the season with them.

September arrives, still nothing from the shop, once again he has to contact them for an update this time it would be late October/early November delivery.

Rinse and repeat in mid November, this time when he phones they tell him the clubs are definitely arriving in the country on 10th December, and should take 5 days max to reach the branch. He phoned on Monday 13th to be told they won't be in until March. He is understandably seething, especially at how shite the customer service has been throughout.

I hope it works out for your mate.

Popped into the Dundee version a few times and decided not to spend a penny on even a bag of tees.

I was maybe unlucky in the three or four times I've been in but I never felt welcome and was always happy to leave without a purchase.

A very strange marketing strategy.

My own experience at the Clydebank branch has been good, got my irons and putter from there. Staff were very helpful on both occasions, but I was maybe fortunate that the irons were bog standard Ping blue dots that they had in stock.

Good morning gentlemen and welcome to my humble 500 acre estate here in the Spanish countryside. For it is time to pick your 2022 Fantasy Golf League team.

Picking your team is much like making love to a beautiful woman, easy if you know how and over pretty quickly. So please, help yourself to my collection of fine wines, cigars and wives as you make your choices.

What happens if 'someone' was to 'coincidentally' pick the exact same players as last season's run away champion?
