845.0. "Club Prices" by BONNET::SPILLARS () Fri Jan 12 1990 07:58

    I work in Valbonne in the South of France and would like to know
    the going rate for Ping woods in the US.  It's been a long time
    since I bought any equipment back there.
    
    The price of anything to do with golf is extraordinary over here.
    
    Example: a set of Ping irons cost FF10,000. That's about $1800.
    
    Also, what is the best place in the Marlboro area to clubs?
    
    Jim
    
    P.S.  It's about 62 sunny here today.

845.1Marlboro area shoppingHPSTEK::PASCOMark 'PASCO' PascarelliFri Jan 12 1990 11:1916
    There are 2 "discount" golf stores in the Marlboro area.
    A "NEVADA BOB'S" about 3 miles from the MR01 plant and a
    "NEW ENGLAND GOLF SUPPLY" about 1 mile from the MR01 plant.
    
    Assuming you mean "NOW" when lot's of pro shops are closed
    you could also check out places like LECHEMERE (department store ?).
    
    I'm sure there are others out there that can give you prices on
    whatever kind of clubs you are interested in. If you get to Marlboro
    Look me up and I'd be glad to drive you to the above mentioned stores
    some day at lunch or after work. Just go to the 3'rd floor of the
    MR01 plant and ask for "PASCO".

845.2Spags?PIGGY::MCKINNONgrab a bag of bats, killerFri Jan 12 1990 11:505
    Someone once told me you can buy Pings at Spags in Shrewsbury, MA.
    Apparently they're not on display, you have to ask for them.  Good
    price, too!!  Can anyone verify?

    Sorry, the question in my last message should have been "What's
    the best place in the Marlboro area to buy clubs".

845.4Dallas PricesDPDMAI::DAVIESMark, SCA Area Network ConsultantMon Jan 15 1990 12:5211
    Ping Woods in Dallas, TX cost about $85-100 each.  A set of Ping irons
    (2-PW) runs in the area of $550-600.  A 15 pack of ProStaff balls goes
    for $11.99 and Titlest Balata's go for about $21 a dozen.
    
    It was 60 F when I got up this morning at 6:30am and we expect it to
    reach about 70 F today (partly cloudy).
    
    Hit 'em straight,

845.5Color Coded PingsDUGGAN::DIAZOctavio @GSBTue Jan 16 1990 15:0616
    Re:                     <<< Note 845.0 by BONNET::SPILLARS >>>

    As a  previous  note mention the irons go somewhere around $500.  The
    only problem with  Pings  is  that  they are only sold at the courses
    Pro-Shops, andd as another  note  mentioned  many  are closed at this
    time of the year.  On top of that Pings  come  in many different lays
    (color coded) and lengths, so if you find  a  set  at  a Pro shop, it
    will  most  likely  be  regular lay and length.   If  you  want  them
    tailored it could take a couple of months to get them.
    
    Sooo....  you don't mentioned what your plans are, if they are to buy
    Pings in the US, I recommend  that  you  go a local pro shop and find
    out what color code you are, and then have someone  here  order  them
    for you ahead of your trip.

845.6Wayland Country Club Pro shop is openASDS::THRASHERWed Jan 17 1990 15:433
    The pro shop at Wayland Country Club is open year round and carries
    Ping Clubs. It is about 20 minutes from Marlboro. 
    
845.7Sold at Discount HousesDPDMAI::DAVIESMark, SCA Area Network ConsultantThu Jan 18 1990 17:008
    Pings are sold at discount houses throughout the Southwest.  As noted
    previously, get the color code for your physical dimensions and then
    order up a set (about 2 months lead time).  I use the orange dot.

845.8Homesick for DallasESKIMO::JIMENEZFri May 25 1990 08:269
    I just moved from Dallas to N.E. and boy are the prices higher up
    here. I'm used to paying 8-10 dollars for 18 holes where I am lucky
    if it gets me 9 here. Just a note...My favorite course, which was
    what I called my home course in Dallas, was Stevens Park in Oak
    Cliff. It's a wonderful little course .Another great course was
    Grapevine. Oh how I miss that Dallas weather......
