NEWARK,
Ohio — The lazy town of Newark situated
squarely in ‘Middle America’ has
never been known for bul kogi, kimchi or any
other Korean fare, but Jae Hyun Park of Seoul,
Korea, did not come here for home cooking.
He traveled halfway around the globe to Newark — corporate
headquarters for The GolfWorks — to receive
the golf industry’s most advanced clubmaking
education.
Park, along with David Tang Tat Wai of Malaysia,
were among the newest international graduates
of The GolfWorks Masters Program, the clubmaking
industry’s highest technical training program.
Other graduates of the Masters Program (October
session) included: Art Arbogast of Douglassville
Penn.; Royce Paulson of Classic Swing Golf School,
Surfside Beach, SC; William B Owen of Linksmaster
Custom Golf, Ellensburg, Was.; William ‘Snap’ Smith
of Tampa Golf, Tampa, Fla.
“Just like golf, clubmaking is a pursuit
that can never be truly mastered,” says
Britt Lindsey, vice president of technical services
for The GolfWorks. “New technologies and
repair techniques are always emerging, while
new custom-fitting theories are being honed and
perfected. That constant evolution of information
and technique is part of the challenge and the
fun of being a golf equipment technician, but
it also punctuates the needs of highly educated
clubmakers all around the world who still want
to learn more. The GolfWorks Masters Program
satisfies those needs in higher clubmaking education
and, in fact, is the highest technical accreditation
available in the industry today.”
Lindsey explains that while most clubmaking courses
teach the basic, intermediate and advanced skills
of clubmaking, club repair and fitting, the GolfWorks
Masters Program is elite training exclusively
for clubmakers who are ready to be challenged
at the highest level of golf equipment expertise.
The Masters Program includes: a full day in the
Maltby Design Studio studying advanced clubhead
design and development techniques; an in-depth
review of the measuring/evaluating techniques
used in the Dynamic Playability Factor; detailed
overview of the Maltby Playability Factor; advanced
shaft measuring and performance evaluation; hands-on
custom grinding of iron heads; refinishing titanium
and stainless steel metal woods; and much more.
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.
