Golf ETC... Clearlake / Performance Golf Fitting

WOW ! New Fitting System For High End Shafts

FYI,


Golf ETC... Clearlake has started their Performance Golf Fitting System and I was impressed with it today.

They have the Nak H-Tec Fitting System (like the Opti-Fit) only their system will consist of only high end shafts.

Some of the shafts they have are :

Matrix Altus, Code 6, Code 8, TP-7 (all Flex's)
All Accra's
Grafalloy Axis
Diamana White Board, Red Board & Blue Board. They may be the first in town with the new White Board.
Most Fuji's
Accuflex Silver and Copper Creations

This can be done on the Hotstix fitting system in the store or the club can be taken to the range to hit. Of course a customer does not have to buy the Nak head unless they want it. All heads are dead square.

I am looking forward to hitting the White Board. (cool) Great way to try a shaft before inserting it into a tour head. There will be a charge for a complete fitting and that charge will be applied to any purchase.

Interesting note : Russell called Matrix and inquired about the Lime Green shaft and Matrix told him that they would sell him any special color he wanted as long as he ordered 30 of them.


Pretty neat system for area guys. :cheesy:

If there were ever a reason for me to drive to Clear Lake, this is it.

 

After the new year, I am making the trip down to get under the putting camera. I think that as well as tweaking my irons would set me right.

 

I do want to go Code-8 in a fairway wood soon too. You know it's got to be Lime though.

I think you should get your golf etc. to call my golf etc. in tampa to explain the benefits of having this.

Golf Etc are independently owned franchises - I've seen bad ones and great ones.

Glynn....my friend.... (cool)

 

I'm ready to put together a set of burnt orange shafts if anyone wants to get in the order with me....I'll take 29 of them too....

I worked at Brenham CC under a guy named Dean Cole. He was from Nacogdoches and moved to Brenham after working for Mark Coward at Great Hills in Austin.

Anytime Tony.

Just to clarify I have no affiliation to Golf Etc... and I am not a compensated pigeon for them.

 

I am always trying to get us Houston Area WRXer's a good deal and opportunity when I can and then it is up to them to decide.

 

The majority of us love all of the new innovations and when I come upon them I will let everyone know.

 

We all have opinions on local area shops and we have had certain ones treat us great and not so great.

 

The one thing that I do like about the Golf Etc... Clear Lake location is the fact they will work hard to get what you want asap to accommodate you and to me that level of service means a lot.

 

Other area shops have treated me fairly but most of them lack the Technology and the advice of a PGA Pro like Mike Standley.

Did I ever tell you that my dad's name is Mike Standley? Not a golf pro though...

[samm980]

Drew your life is so amazing would you write a book? The real question is whether or not your life is as interesting as this guy?

 

 

 

 

Allright, it's only fair, I'll bite. It's going to come across as bragging, but I don't care.

 

Age: I'll stay 25 forever.

Home: Henderson Nevada

 

Status: Currently married to Amy, which many of you know.

 

Kids: Thank God, 0.

 

Backgroud: I could tell you, but you'd never believe it, and eventually I intend to actually write it down. My life would make a pretty interesting and almost unbelievable book or movie, and no I'm not kidding. It's a truly ridiculous tale from one extreme to the other on almost every life level.

 

Occupation: You are on it. I actually own three different companies. One is BSG the website, the other is the club sale business, and one is a consulting firm for golf club design and graphic design. I plan on expanding the business and incorporating. We have about 15 plans on the table to put together a golf company like nobody has seen before.

 

Golf: Played since I was a kid, quit for a long stretch, and then took the game up very seriously maybe 7-8 years ago. I don't remember, something like that. Worked hard to get myself down to +2, but my short game is so erratic and needs so much work that realistically I feel more like a 1-0. We all know the index is essentially worthless anyway.

 

Hobbies + Interests: I have no hobbies. About the only things I enjoy are golf and cars. NFL football I suppose if that counts. Other than that I truly enjoy working and building the company. Making BSG the predominant influence in the golf world outside of major OEM's is my main hobby. I also TRULY enjoy the club testing and review portion of my job. I ask myself all the time....."they actually PAY me to do this job?!" Everything I think about, I have realized, is about 10 times deeper than most people. Everything to me has many facets and I tend to over analyze everything and take things very deep. I think a lot basically.

 

Television: I don't watch TV ever. I will Tivo certain programs, and it ususally takes me 3 days to finish watching one program. I like real programs basically. A&E Cold Case Files, The First 48, Intervention, New Detectives. I do not watch any regular programming on a week to week basis. To me, it's a waste of time. Seinfeld I enjoy, the Sopranos, but all on DVD when I have time. NFL football is about the only thing I can tollerate sitting and watching for any length of time because I can switch the channel, thanks to DirecTv, around so I never have to watch a single commercial.

 

Movies: Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, The Ususal Suspects, Forest Gump are my favorites. I can watch just about any movie, from sappy chick flicks to the most violent and disturbing images. I like crime movies where the bad guy wins, and almost any gangster film.

 

Music: I will listen to a little bit of everything EXCEPT country music. I'd rather listen to a group of children screaming than that country "music". Basically, what you might find in my car on any given day................America, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Cheap Trick, COLD, Coldplay, Damien Rice, Eagles, Elton John, Fall Out Boy, Godsmack, John Mayer, Linkin Park, Michelle Branch, Ministry, NWA, Nine Inch Nails, Biggie, Puddle of Mud, RA, Rammstein, Ray Lamontagne, Saliva, Slim Thug, Stabbing Westward, STP, Tech N9ne, Train, etc.....................Is that eclectic enough?

 

Bottom Line: I am 100% blessed. I have turned down running major fitting facilities for OEM's with salaries in the 250K range, because I simply LOVE my life. My job is playing golf with celebrities including professional athletes, testing product 6-8 months before anyone else even sees it, helping in design of many of the products you see in golf catelogs, and basically rubbing elbows with some of the most influential people in golf. I play golf 5-7 days a week and it's actually REQUIRED. On the GolfPunk Power 100, I probably know 10-15 of these people on a first name basis. My phone roladex reads like an NFL and NBA roster, and VP's and execs of 60% of the major companies in golf. Basically, I love life, I love my job, and I wake up with a smile every single day I'm alive. You couldn't pay me a million dollars a year to do anything else.

 

 

 

 

 

It reads just like a Fairy Tale.

[Double Rods]

That story is heart warming. I love to read about good people beating the odds to have a successful life.

 

Thanks, Sam.

[bopper53]

Drew,

 

Ditto for me .

[thusgone]

I think we could all do better in our lives if we just resolve to think 10 times deeper than everybody else whenever we think about something. Inspirational words to live by, really.

[ranghips]

Need an assistant?

[2zlinks]

But I'm not a very good spellar.

[adammull]

It troubles me to read the line, "I can watch just about any movie, from sappy chick flicks to the most violent and disturbing images. I like crime movies where the bad guy wins, and almost any gangster film."

 

Violent and disturbing images? The bad guy wins? Well he is right now, the site is still up. I am just glad they don't lie about their member numbers.

 

"I think a lot basically." Very deep. The deepest thought I have ever seen. That thought has so many facets.

[JustinFL83]

I had a deep thought once and thought I was just like Double T-dizzle, but it was just gas.

[Double Rods]

I just want to say hello to my friends at the bottom of this thread.

 

No one and I mean NO ONE can threadjack like you guys.

[Double Rods]

What the hell does "Kids: Thank God, 0" mean? In order to conceive a child, one of the OPPOSITE sex must be willing to allow the seed to be planted.

I think you guys are being a bit harsh. I read that bio and see a man driven to succeed. He strikes me as a man who knows where he has been and where he is going. I would love to be surrounded by ten men like him. I am physically baffled by the hate, let it go guys. You are the type of people who would have labeled Copernicus a heretic and refuted his vision.

This is the type of comment that makes WRX the best! :)

 

In life as in golf, I live my life with a sense of honor and responsibility. It brings me such joy to see comments such as this that define the way we play golf: on the honor system with mutual respect for the game as well as our opponents. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

The shower at Callaway had 10 men in it. Let's not turn this into something ugly.

I've always heard that Golf ETC. is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of tour life....wait, is that right? :)
