2004-08-31 - Clubmakers Earn Club Repair Diplomas

NEWARK, Ohio — The GolfWorks has long been recognized as the foremost authority on golf club restoration and repair, so the renowned Newark, Ohio-facility is a natural mecca for golfers and clubmakers wanting to receive professional training in golf club repair. Recently, several more clubmakers graduated from the Total Golf Club Repair School at The GolfWorks, and The GolfWorks training staff offers its sincere congratulations to Bob King of Berea, Ohio; Wade Milbury of Petawawa, Ontario; Taylor Reedy of Soddy Daisy, Tenn.; and James Thompson of Cahokia Ill.

“The GolfWorks offers the golf industry’s most comprehensive training programs dedicated to custom fitting, golf club assembly and club repair,” says Britt Lindsey, vice president of technical services for The GolfWorks. “Ralph Maltby, the founder of The GolfWorks, literally wrote the book on custom fitting, golf club assembly, repair and dynamic playability, so we are extremely dedicated to ensuring that attendees receive a complete understanding of today’s vital clubmaking and repair skills.”

Lindsey further explains that The GolfWorks Total Club Repair School strongly emphasizes instruction on the most sought after club repair skills that allow a clubmaker to repair today’s modern equipment. Topics covered include refinishing metal woods; reshafting hosel-less irons; applying a satin, high polish or tumble finish on an iron and metal wood; measuring width/depth of score lines; removing and installing grips; and short-cuts, timesavers and solutions to other repair challenges.

Since 1982, thousands of clubmakers, golf industry experts and PGA professionals have visited The GolfWorks design and manufacturing campus in Newark, Ohio, to learn the latest skills and technology from the game’s premier technical staff. GolfWorks classes qualify for PGA of America Continuing Education credits and are approved by the Professional Clubmakers Society.
