Think Karsten Manufacturing May Have Something to Say About this Trademark Application?

A trademark application filed in March is likely to get some attention from Karsten Manufacturing (makers PING brand golf clubs). The application is for the mark PING BLING. The application describes the goods associated with the mark as:

PING BLING WOULD BE USED FOR DECORATING GOLF EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS GOLF CLUBS, BAGS, BALLS, CLOTHING, SHOES, SOCKS, PANTS, SKIRTS, SHIRTS, BLOUSES, JEWELRY, APPAREL, HATS, BELTS, GLOVES, JACKETS, WITH ADDITIONAL JEWELRY, DECORATIONS, OR FANCY LOGOS IT WOULD ALSO BE USED FOR DECORATING REGULAR CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES, SOCKS, PANTS, SKIRTS, GLOVES, JACKETS, HATS, BELTS, JEWELRY,WITH DECORATIONS, JEWELRY, OR FANCY LOGOS

So, does this application pass the common sense test? Do you think the Applicant just might end up facing a lawsuit if they offer these goods under the PING BLING mark?
