It is difficult to travel with golf gear because nobody wants their equipment to be damaged or lost on vacation.

Danielle Kang experienced this stress last week when her clubs went missing for two days just before the Solheim Cup began in Spain. Ping was the only equipment truck on site at Finca Cortesin. Kang plays Titleist clubs but Ping provided her with equipment to practice until Titleist Europe (and another set) arrived Tuesday evening.
