With Mother’s Day around the corner, it’s a good time to think about a gift that’s more about fairways and less about flowers.
Golf Town’s Director of Instruction and PGA of Canada Class ‘A’ Professional Kyle Gordon says that the most successful fittings he and his team see – with respect to distance gains – happen with women. A custom-fit set of clubs is an ideal kind of gift for Mother’s Day this year.
With so many women starting to play golf, or returning to the game, it’s time to take a peek at mom’s clubs and see if it’s time for something new.
“I often find women playing with someone else’s clubs that are a poor fit for them,” says Kyle. “Putting the effort into getting a fitting will provide a golfer the maximum potential to play their best!”
Kyle says getting the correct-lofted clubs is a big step in making the game easier to play by helping to differentiate the clubs from each other, distance-wise.
It’s a common myth that to get the best out of a custom fitting you need to be a good golfer – but that’s just not the case.
Geoff Pinheiro, Golf Town’s vice president of merchandising, says that custom fitting has come a long way and especially in the last few years. You can be confident in knowing that all fitters at Golf Town stores are following the appropriate safety protocols, too.
“It’s exciting to see golfers of all levels of skill – either beginner or avid – taking advantage of the new technology out there right now,” says Geoff.
Indeed, big-time brands like Cobra, Ping, Callaway, and TaylorMade are putting out new clubs that are specific to female golfers. Whether it’s a difference in swing speed, height, or even personal style, golf’s most recognizable equipment companies are all committed to giving women a great opportunity to drive it further or hit it closer.
“With the expansion of shaft and vendor product offerings,” says Geoff, “everyone is taking advantage of the latest technological advances to lower scores and have more fun!”
