Crazy story of destiny

[KjBowen]

I will try and keep this brief but it was a cool story.

When the PING G25 irons came out I was smitten. I wanted them so badly.. as soon as the demo clubs came in I went and had the ping rep do a full iron fitting . I ordered a set of irons 4-Pw. Once they became available mine were built and sent to me.

First round.. first hole I hit a 9i out of the rough only to find out my ball was unde a hidden rock. There was now a gouge in my 9i after one swing with my new clubs. This upset me so much that a week later I ended up returning the set for 90 day store credit full value. (Dumb move) I bought a plethora of used clubs and started swapping irons. I always wanted to buy another set of G25s just never did.

Fast forward to today.. I walk into my golf shop and what do I see.. my exact set of ping g25s.. gouge and all.

I purchased them for $169

I had zero choice but to buy them as what are the odds they get traded in to the very store I was walking into .

 

Well just a cool reunion and I am beyond ecstatic to get these back in my bag.. oh yea.. even the same grips I specifically wanted are still on them lol

They took them back with a big old gouge in them? That's above and beyond the customer service I would expect.

glad it worked out

I may have over stated.. the gouge was not enormous.. it was a gouge on the first swing with custom irons so it devastated me..

 

And ty I am totally excited as well

While I have never had the chance to buy the exact same set I did get an identical set of Big Bertha 2002 irons I played back when they were new a few years ago in great shape. So I know that is a good feeling. Congrats on that find!

It would be easy to ask Ping for a replacement for the 9-iron.
