Louisville, KY – The Professional CLUBMAKERS’ Society, an international, independent association of golf clubmakers headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky whose mission is to foster, promote, and elevate the art of professional golf club making, fitting and repair, has announced the 2007 inductees to its Hall of Fame.
The PCS Hall of Fame Committee unanimously elected Tom Wishon of Tom Wishon Golf Technologies, and Bob Bush, who is largely credited with developing the ‘Iron Byron’ golf swing mechanism, for induction. Bob Uebelhor, Indianapolis, IN, who chairs the PCS Hall of Fame Committee, made the announcement at the PCS Annual Meeting held recently in Louisville, KY.
"The PCS is pleased to add both Tom and Bob to our Hall of Fame. They join an illustrious group of golf clubmakers and are in elite company that includes the likes of Tony Penna, ‘Old’ Tom Morris, Stan Thompson, Kenneth Smith, and Elmore Just, who founded the PCS in 1989, to name a few. "The PCS is proud to have these golf clubmakers join our Hall of Fame," said Uebelhor.
"This is truly an award I will cherish for many years to come, and I am honored to belong to a fraternity of such distinguished golf clubmakers," said Tom Wishon. Wishon is widely recognized in the golf industry as the pre-eminent custom golf clubmaker, and he is the author of several books on custom golf club fitting including ‘The Search For The Perfect Golf Club’ and "12 Myths that Could Wreck Your Golf Game.’
"Our newest inductees are most deserving of the station afforded them," said Barry Palm, PCS executive director. "Their membership in the PCS Hall of Fame is a tribute to their contributions to golf and enhances and underscores the importance of golfers everywhere getting fitted with the proper equipment so they can enjoy the game even more."
Founded in 1989, the Professional CLUBMAKERS’ Society is a global non-profit association of nearly 1,000 professional golf clubmakers involved in golf club making, fitting and repair. For more information call 800-548-6094 or visit www.proclubmakers.org
