Indoor facility offers Chicago area golfers an elite fitting experience at one of the windy city’s most respected training facilities
CHICAGO, IL — True Spec Golf, the global leader in custom club fitting and club building, announced today that they have partnered with The Golf Practice, one of Chicago’s premier golf academies. The new, larger location for True Spec Chicago North Shore, located less than half a mile from the previous location, was necessary to meet high demand in the area.
The undertaking is the latest in a series of partnerships that brings True Spec’s bespoke fittings and best-in-class customer service to prominent venues around the country.
The premium facility features two indoor fitting bays equipped with state-of-the-art Foresight GCQuad technology and utilizes True Spec’s brand-agnostic fitting matrix of more than 50,000 club head and shaft combinations from every major equipment manufacturer. This helps its master fitters find the best equipment to improve a player’s game. Each club will be custom built at True Spec’s Scottsdale headquarters to the exact specifications derived from the fitting process.
“True Spec is really excited about teaming up with the talented and dedicated staff at The Golf Practice,” said Ryan Richardson, president of True Spec Golf. “The commitment to their students is exemplary—which perfectly complements what we have to offer.”
The Golf Practice, a PGA recognized academy located in Highland Park, offers custom private instruction plans for every age and skill level. As a full-service golf improvement center, The Golf Practice also offers private event planning, regripping service, and individual practice in “The Cube” —a 13,000 square foot facility with a custom-built topography designed to replicate a real on-course environment.
“The Golf Practice prides itself on offering its students the space, coaching and resources to conduct highly effective practice sessions,” said Chris Oehlerking, principal owner of The Golf Practice. “The addition of True Spec allows us to also provide a top-notch fitting experience as well.”
Consistently ranked by GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest as one of America’s top club fitters, True Spec’s master fitters are the nation’s undisputed leader in luxury club fitting. After the successful opening of True Spec Chicago West earlier this year, True Spec Golf is excited to help even more metropolitan Chicago golfers improve their game.
True Spec Chicago North Shore is located at 1546 Old Deerfield Road in Highland Park Illinois. Fitting sessions range from $125 to $475 for a full bag with putter fitting. To book a custom fitting appointment, golfers can visit https://www.truespecgolf.com/.
