GREENWICH, Connecticut (August 4, 2016) – International Clubmakers Guild® (ICG) (www.clubfittersguild.org), golf’s only clubfitting and clubmaking organization that is owned and run by its members, has experienced significant growth this past year, both in membership and in program offerings. Over 81 new members, originating from numerous countries, have been welcomed to ICG since 2015.
“Golf is expanding in some parts of the world and resurging in others,” said Jacques Intriere, president of International Clubmakers Guild (ICG), “and we are taking note of the Guild’s recent growth as a result. We invite qualified club makers and fitters to join our ranks.
“The accumulated knowledge and expertise of ICG members set benchmarks for excellence in our profession.”

In fact, the winner of the 2016 Ricoh British Open, played July 28-31 at Woburn Golf and Country Club, in Milton Keynes, England, had her clubs and shafts fit by one ICG member and her clubs built by another ICG member.
