Last month there seemed to be many articles in various magazines about custom club fitting. Having worked for some golf equipment companies such as The Rogue Golf Company and Adams Golf, pioneers of the “Tight Lies” fairway words, as a custom club fitter for tour players and customers alike, I would like to take this opportunity to give you some advice on how this all works.
Custom fit golf clubs are not a new phenomenon to golf in the way that some companies and club fitters would make you believe. Custom club fitting has been around almost from the days that golf clubs were first produced, that said, the technology has changed a great deal but the idea of longer shafts, heavier club heads, thicker grips etc, etc, has remained constant from the days when Tom Morris and James Braid were making hickory shafted golf clubs in their workshops in the 1800s. They made golf clubs for a range of players from professional to amateur alike and were very well acquainted with how to produce a club which would suit players of different sizes and stature. This is very much true of custom club fitting today and forms the basis of the golf club fitting the player who has purchased them properly.

Many people ask me about the best ways to practice and improve their game and scores without spending hours on the driving range and unfortunately to be a good player you do have to spend hours on the range working on swing technique and consistency but this month I will give you a few pointers which will help your game with the limited time you do have between games.
If you are lucky enough to go to watch the odd golf tournament you will see that the pros have a sought of set routine that they carry out each day before and after their round. Everyone is different so I'm sure that you can find one that works for you. One of the things that always amazes me is that very few players ever bother to loosen up before thay play, I must admit I fall into this category to so you are in good company. If you watch the pros they will hit balls for 20-30 minutes, they then move onto the putting & chipping green and then on to the first tee. Obviously this is not the routine of every pro but they will follow this routine in some form or another which helps them get their mind and concentration set before their round begins.
