Carrying & Caddies During the 1880s, golf bags first came into use. âThe beast of burdenâ is an old nickname for the caddie who carried golfersâ equipment for them. The first powered golf car appeared around 1962 and was invented by Merlin L. Halvorson.
He built his first putter in 1959, and noticed that it made a ping sound when it struck the ball. The name of his company was inspired by that moment. In 1962, a Ping putter was used to win a PGA Tour event for the first time.Since then, Ping equipment has been a part of over 2,000 professional wins as of 2009.n 1972, Ping was the first company to come out with a color-code fitting system for their clubs. The colored dot on each Ping club tells the customer the lie angle of the club. With this system, golfers could now buy clubs that fit their height and swing.
