Golf Yeah Interviews Woody Lashen; Master Clubfitter and Co-Owner of Pete’s Golf

Golf Yeah – the podcast and website that showcases people who’ve built successful companies and careers based on their love for the game – has just published its interview with Woody Lashen, master clubfitter and co-owner of Pete’s Golf, the New York-based shop that’s performed more than 75,000 custom fittings over the past 40 years.

In his discussion with Golf Yeah, Woody provides insights into his life and clubfitting operation, which he and his partner Pete Makowski established, decades before the national, multi-location companies like GOLFTEC and Club Champion got into the business. Interview highlights include:

• Woody’s road from caddying to ownership of a successful golf business
• How and why the clubfitting business has evolved from how clubs look, to how they perform
• How Woody went from being an employee to an owner at Pete’s Golf
• Why Woody doesn’t care that his company isn’t called “Pete’s and Woody’s Golf”
• What happened when Woody told PGA Tour Pro David Frost that he was making a mistake by bending his clubs
• How often the average golfer should consider buying new golf clubs
• The ONE thing that all golfers should look for when selecting a golf ball to play
• Why Woody did not want to tell us what clubs he carries in his own golf bag
• The biggest misconception that most golfers have about clubfitting
• Why former PGA Tour Pro Erik Compton is a source of personal inspiration for Woody

Commenting on the Lashen interview, Golf Yeah’s Podcast Host and Editor, Gordon G. Andrew, said that, “It’s an achievement for any type of business to last 40 years. And it’s a unique accomplishment for a golf-related services company to succeed for that length of time. Pete’s Golf has not only overcome downturns in the US economy, but the firm has also educated the industry with respect to the art of clubfitting, and how it can improve enjoyment of the game.”
