GREENWICH, Connecticut (January 12, 2017) – International Clubmakers Guild® (ICG) (www.clubfittersguild.org), golf’s only clubfitting and clubmaking organization that is owned and run by its members, will have a presence at the PGA Merchandise Show, Jan. 24-27 in Orlando, Fla. Members of the organization will be on hand both at Tee #5 at the PGA Show Demo Day, to be held Jan. 24 at Orange County National Golf Center, and Jan. 25-27 at the Orange County Convention Center, during the PGA Show Exhibits & Education Conference, in room W209-B. Ceremonies will be held for the 2017 ICG Hall of Fame inductees and the 2017 ICG Clubmaker of the Year winners.
“We look forward to greeting attendees at the PGA Merchandise Show again this year,” said Jacques Intriere, president of International Clubmakers Guild, “and continuing to spread the message that proper clubfitting is essential in order for golfers of every ability level to play their best.
“And we welcome those interested in becoming members of the International Clubmakers Guild to initiate their memberships with us at the show.”
ICG members fit and make golf clubs for players of all skill levels, from amateurs who want the best equipment for their games to the most accomplished tour players worldwide.
In fact, the winner of the 2016 Ricoh British Open had her clubs and shafts fit by one ICG member and her clubs built by another ICG member.
