Ping Tour Umbrella 68″ review: NCG verdict
I wondered how long I would need to carry this umbrella around before I could put it into practice and the answer was for one and a half rounds.
For once, I was delighted to see the dark clouds floating in and reached enthusiastically for my Ping Tour 68” double canopy Umbrella.
Within seconds I had popped it up and was safely dry underneath – as was the golf bag on my shoulders.
The soft handle is comfortable to hold and, given the size, it is remarkably lightweight.
There is the world of difference between a standard umbrella and one like this – this is a serious piece of equipment that is built with a double canopy to withstand the elements even on the wettest of days. That makes it worth the investment if you are serious about your golf game.
Of course, as an additional bonus, you will also have an extremely useful piece of kit for everyday life.
