Another 5,000 counterfeit golf products were seized in May by Chinese authorities working with the U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group. The raid took place in Dongguan City, with officers entering the Oriental Golf Store and two associated warehouses to seize merchandise and assembly machinery, as well as arresting the owners of the store. The U.S. golf group provided the lead to the authorities, and so far in 2012 has helped in the seizure of more than 12,000 counterfeit golf products. The Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group was formed in 2004 including Callaway and Odyssey; TaylorMade-Adidas Golf and Ashworth; Ping; Cleveland Golf, Srixon and Never Compromise; and Acushnet Company.
