Rare Karsten Memorial PING Anser with Signature & Bible Verse & All Provenance Paperwork/Info/Documents
PING putter visionary and World Golf Hall of Famer Karsten Solheim was born in Norway in 1911. Humble beginnings of the golf equipment industry giant saw Solheim transform his putter company from a garage startup to the preferred golf bag option of their time. The Ping Company was based upon their strong stance on its heel-toe weighting and perimeter weighting. This putter is unlike the other model favorites, as it was given out at Karsten Solheim's memorial in February of 2000.
Ping collectors have admired this putter, but likely from afar. Here is the opportunity to add this highly sought after limited edition model. The Proverbs 3:5-6 bible verse was added to the face of these putters reading "Trust in the lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This lot includes provenance documentation including the box it was shipped in, the UPS packing slip, the actual memorial program, a thank you card, and email documentation from PING industries confirming the club's existence and that only 150 were made.
