Golf Tips and Golf News

Regular readers may remember our report on the biggest eBay scam ever, which involved nearly 100,000 transactions involving fake golf clubs, golf clothing and general golfing accessories. Those of you who were as enraged as I will be pleased to hear that today, the people involved in the counterfeiting operation are facing jail sentences! Who says there’s no justice in the world? I think they should be given a chance to escape their sentence by playing a round using one of their counterfeit golf balls – the ones that exploded on impact!



At the centre of operations was Gary Bellchambers, who pleaded guilty to his role, as well as to the unauthorised use of trademarks relating to counterfeit Sony memory sticks and Qantas business class lounge invitation cards! It would seem Mr. Bellchambers is quite the entrepreneur! Or should I say, was quite entrepreneur, before being slung in jail. Also charged are Keith Thomas, Chris Moughton and Sharron Williams, as well as couple Roy and Kay Cottee, who were found guilty in December of conspiring to sell or distribute counterfeit goods.

The majority of the counterfeit golf clubs were made in China before being sold all around the world, as our previous post reported.
