Skratch Attests: The My First Ping Putter

When it comes to celebrating a new baby joining the family there are lots of non-golf ways to do it; little baby shoes, books, blankets, and onesies, but what do you do to celebrate a new little golfer?

How about a putter?

Well, if it's a putter you're after Ping has you covered with their "My First Ping Putter" gift set which comes with a baby-sized bucket hat, t-shirt, and as the name suggested a real, a bit slightly different made from aluminum Anser putter.

There is even the option to have it customized with the child's name, date of birth, length at birth and weight.

Why are you talking about a baby putter?

Look, I get that you probably came here to read the latest and greatest when it comes to golf club technology and fitting trends, but once and a while it's fun (at least for me - and hopefully for you) to share some of the less talked about things that exist in the equipment world that might pique the interest of golfers.

I also like talking about this gift idea for the same reason I enjoyed sharing the iRangeSports Stick EXT and the Titleist Vokey V-Grind wedge—because I own one. I actually own two thanks to the fact that we have two beautiful little girls and to celebrate their births I got one of these for each of them. They sit on a shelf in my office and are not just a conversation piece for other parents but once each of the kids got to a certain age, they loved carrying them around the house and hitting balls with them "just like mommy and daddy."

So whether you're a golfer looking for a golf-centric way to commemorate the birth of a child or just trying to find the perfect gift that will last a lifetime, it's hard to go wrong with the Ping my first putter gift set.
