How do you stay up to date on product and clubfitting best practices?
We attend meetings regularly with most of the manufacturers. We have multiple staffers that are on Fitter’s Boards/Councils with OEMs where we are able to meet with some of the best fitters in the industry and continue to learn and grow the knowledge of clubfitting. We do a lot of education at the PGA Show where we network with OEMs to learn more from them and expand our knowledge base.

What industry products/services would help you be a better clubfitter?
More education surrounded around fitting. I think as an industry we do a really good job with teaching education but clubfitting education is in the infancy stage relatively speaking. I think it’s important for all clubfitters to understand instruction but also instructors to understand clubfitting. More instruction based education should also have a focus point on clubfitting and understanding of the process. I think our facility has more products and demos than most fitting facilities from the years of experience and for how we added to our options over the years.
