This week is the MCB Ladies Classic in Mauritius as they continue to do that swing around South Africa and Mauritius down there.

And we do this.

Richard Eve sent us an email.

Richard's ears have just pricked up.

Eddie was talking about a tournament he played in recently, I think Mission Hills in China, where he decided to take a slightly lighter bag and opted to buy a Ping Hoofer, only to find that he had another one already back in the barn when he got home.

Well, I knew that he had one, because a few series ago he was waxing lyrical about what brilliant standbags Ping Hoofers were.

I was so intrigued, I went out and bought the blue camo one and use it regularly as my winter bag now.

It's absolutely brilliant.

I know this is a slightly boring email, but I've listened for a long time now and I know the sort of drivel you discuss.

So I think my chances of this getting mentioned are quite high.

Plus it segues beautifully with your Ping sponsorship.

You're absolutely right, Richard.

You know us very well.

I'm delighted you went for a Ping Hoofer and love it as a winter bag.

Although it's more than light enough for a summer bag as well.

So the Hoofer is the best seller for Ping and has been for a long time now.

It is, as they describe it, the lightweight workhorse for its ease of use and practical attributes.

It's available in new colourways now and patterns.

16 pockets, padded convertible shoulder straps.

You've got the Hoofer Lite as well, or the Hoofer 14, which I presume is 14 pockets instead of the 16.
