Columbus, Ga. – Roy Nix Executive Director of the Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals (AGCP), a global leader in the advancement of custom clubfitting and clubmaking through education and promotion, today bolstered an already-prominent schedule during its fourth annual national conference October 13 -17. Alpharetta, Ga.,-based Acculength Golf, one of the golf industry’s pioneers in advocating proper clubfitting among junior golfers, has been added to this year’s “RT-4” with a special presentation by Acculength founder and inventor Shawn Benson.
“Given that the AGCP’s mission statement urges increased awareness about the importance of proper clubfitting, we jumped at the chance to add Shawn and Acculength to our high-caliber event schedule,” said Roy Nix, the founder of the AGCP. “Our organization is dedicated to building a worldwide community of clubfitting advocates, and we feel it’s natural to welcome to RT-4 a company that promotes our message within the junior golf industry.”
Benson will present his unique insights on the golf industry’s “race toward customization” on Oct. 17, with an informative one-hour peek inside the Acculength organization, including the various company initiatives underway to help promote the importance of properly fit equipment among junior golfers. He also will provide an in-depth look at Acculength’s dynamic line of products and the many ways in which attendees and other AGCP members can engage with the company.
“I reacquired the Acculength business earlier this year with a commitment to engage with those professionals on the frontlines of proper clubfitting and instruction as a means to grow junior golf in large doses – not only in the U.S., but also abroad,” said Benson. “That our business has exploded beyond my expectations is a fortuitous byproduct of Acculength’s intense focus on communicating with so many key influencers, and I view RT-4 as a perfect platform to continue our targeted efforts aimed at the industry’s elite educators and opinion leaders.”

About Acculength Golf
Acculength Golf, LLC, is an acclaimed leader in junior golf and an award-winning manufacturer of expandable clubs for children. Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, Acculength golf clubs feature a patented system that allows a golf club to “extend” by accommodating as many as four spacers, each measuring one inch in length, which can easily be inserted into the shaft of the golf club as a child grows in size. Each spacer becomes a permanent part of the golf club, preserving the integrity of the high-quality, graphite-wound shaft. Acculength golf clubs promote proper golf-club fitting – an often-overlooked, but critical part of learning the game properly. Acculength golf clubs are available in four starter sets for junior golfers ages 3-13 and can be purchased at major national retail outlets or online. Acculength products range in price from $139 – $179, which includes four starter clubs, four one-inch spacers and a durable and attractive stand bag.
