Equipment Custom Fitting

We will fine-tune your clubs to your ability, swing and physical characteristics. By using Flightscope Doppler-Radar Technology, we can analyze your distance, spin rates, launch angle and ball speed with every club in your bag. We offer the latest models and extensive fitting cart options with a variety of shafts from major manufactures such as Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade and Ping.

Golf Fitness Assessment

The Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Assessment is the most efficient way to improve your game. Through the assessment, we will collect data that determines the deficiencies that exist in your body that lead to swing faults. This physical snapshot offers an in-depth look to determine your workout program and improve your golf game. If you have any questions, please contact TPI Golf Fitness Specialist, Ann-Kristin Allen.

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.
