Men's Ping Hoofer Bag (Used)

Rare Vintage PING Hoofer 1 (Transitional Era) - Forest Green - April/May 2000 Dial Stamp Description Up for sale is a highly collectible, museum-grade original PING Hoofer 1 stand bag in iconic Forest Green. This is a rare "transitional era" bag manufactured right at the turn of the millennium, making it an absolute unicorn for a serious PING collector or walking-golf purist. • Transitional Build Date: The internal production dial stamp is positioned directly between April and May of 2000. This marks the exact factory turning point where PING was transitioning production from the original Hoofer 1 to the Hoofer 2, making this a rare manufacturing variant. • Features pristine custom tournament embroidery on the ball pocket reading: "2000 Chad Tanner Invitational - Mark Harrell". •The bag was custom-ordered from PING for Georgia native Mark Harrell for his tournament victory in 2000. I purchased it directly from him that same year and have meticulously stored it in a climate-controlled environment for over two decades. • Canvas: Exceptional. There is absolutely ZERO sun fading or canvas discoloration. The forest green color is as deep and vibrant as the day it left the factory. • Stand Mechanism: The original pop-out stand mechanism functions flawlessly. The aluminum legs sit perfectly tight to the bag when carried and extend fully when set down. • Straps & Zippers: The original dual shoulder backpack straps are intact, comfortable, and fully functional. Every zipper glides smoothly. This is a beautiful, clean, and fully functional piece of turn-of-the-century PING history. It will be packaged safely and shipped securely inside a proper, modern PING golf bag box to guarantee it arrives in the exact condition.
