The Ping 1A putter is the model that started it all for the Karsten Solheim and the PING golf company.  While this putter works great, the sound it makes gave birth to the name of the company—and the rest is history. Today, the club remains iconic.

Offered here is a Ping 1A putter made in Karsten's garage near Scottsdale, Arizona, in the early 1960s. It is quite unusual in that the patent number is marked on the toe of the LH face. On the vast majority of Scottsdale 1A putters marked with a patent number, the number is on the sole. The patent info is all there but is best viewed up close and in good light.

The club has its original green Golf Pride Informer grip on its original 34 1/2" shaft. The shaft has a strong gooseneck design. Hand made by Karsten, these bends could differ from one to the next.

When it comes to outstanding hand-made Ping Scottsdale putters, this 1A qualifies!
