HOLIDAY GOLF GIFT SOLUTION: WHAT TO GET THE GOLFER IN YOUR LIFE WHEN THE ONE THING THEY REALLY WANT IS A GREAT GAME
What’s the best holiday gift for the golfer in your life? There’s certainly no need for more swing gimmicks or “state-of-the-art” putting aids to improve a score.
Give them the ultimate golfer’s gift: Surprise them with a custom club fitting and give them a great game.
The fastest path to lower scores is by playing with clubs that are properly matched to a golfer’s skill, body type and swing. Todd Tschantz, master club fitter at Golf Fitting Studios—located at the Marriott Golf Academy in Palm Desert, California—says golfers of all skill levels can benefit from owning clubs that are finely tuned just for them.
“You don’t have to be a professional to have clubs that are built or adjusted specially for your particular swing speed or body type. It’s amazing how simple equipment alterations can bring out the best in a golfer’s game,” said Tschantz. “We want a golfer’s swing to define the clubs, not the other way around.”
At a fitting, Tschantz will watch players hit and get to know their swing mechanics, like swing speed and tempo. “With our TrackMan launch monitors, I can see exactly how and where they’re hitting the ball. Those tell me what changes I can make to a club’s balance, lie angle and loft for that player to get more distance and more control,” he said. Players can have Tschantz focus on irons, wedges, drivers or the whole bag.
What players don’t need is to be nervous, Tschantz said. “It’s a conversation about their clubs and what we can do to match those to their swing. I’m here to make players better golfers.”
