WEBVTT - Introducing: PING Proving Grounds

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the new Ping Proving Grounds podcast, where we're

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>here to help simplify this incredibly complicated sport. I'm Shane Bacon,

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>someone that still remembers his first Ping ISI driver back

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>from those high school days, and I'm joined by the

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>vice president of Fitting in Performance here at Ping, Marty Jertsen.

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>He builds clubs, he dives into the tech, and he's

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>also played in six major championships. Marty, golf can be complicated.

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>The goal here is to make it easier for all

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>those out there to understand.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, our goal, Shane, is to help golfers play their best,

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to tell some fun stories of what

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>happens here at the Ping Proving Grounds where we develop product,

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>we research product, we develop fitting tools to help golfers

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>play their best golf. So there's a lot of fun

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.959
<v Speaker 2>here and I'm really looking forward to it.

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Marty is a very smart man and a very good player,

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and this is going to be a lot of fun.
