The day starts half an hour after daylight with nine holes at the Palo Alto Muni. The quickest way to understand a player’s game, and his clubs, is to watch him on the golf course. Ball flight and consistency tell the story. We play from the white tees.
This is a learning experience so we don’t play it “down”. We want to see a nice, uncomplicated swing. For one day, you’ll feel like you’ve been living right. No bad lies.
We’re not counting strokes and we’ll hit a second shot if we need to. Our goal is to see the best, and the worst.
Breakfast at the Grill follows. We discuss goals. We make a game plan. It takes efficiency, endurance and focus to cover an entire bag in one day. It is now 10:30.
Back to the Golf Lab. We “blueprint” your current clubs – weigh, measure and test for flex. We benchmark performance with a six iron. Same for the driver. Our launch monitor technology is Flightscope radar. Current performance is mapped to your athletic potential.
Test clubs are chosen to compare ballistics and consistency. After a couple of hours, we’ll have theories about what works and why. We have found clubs you’ll want to test outdoors. It is now 1:00.
We break for lunch and a rest for you while we put together the “test bag” in the workshop.
We head for the range at 2:00 with the test bag. The test bag includes the exact clubs we’re recommending – built to specifications determined by your fitting. It is important to confirm indoor theories outdoors. Golf clubs feel and sound different outdoors on a natural surface. Ball flight is the ultimate test. You should always see ball flight and “feel the dirt” before you buy a golf club.
We go the range together so I can stage the testing and help evaluate results. We are looking at ball flight and trying to evaluate feel. We already know from the launch monitor that we are testing the best performing demo clubs. We go slowly for an hour or so. Endurance is a consideration.
By 3:30 we are ready to return to the Golf Lab and pencil together a complete set makeup. That process can take an hour or so.
The result is a full day of testing and evaluation, a bag full of the exact recommendations assembled to take to the range so you know the performance and feel because you tried it. Testing golf clubs is just as important as test driving a sports car.
Wrap-up at 5:30.

Hi
I think I would like to schedule a “Ultimate One Day Club Fitting” for my wife as a birthday gift with follow on purchase of premium custom clubs for her. I have left a few voice mails and we have missed each other on calls.
I guess the question is what is available tomorrow Friday or Saturday…perhaps the “Ultimate One Day Club Fitting” is not the best choice based on timing?…Let me know..I can be reached anytime from now to late thirty tonight.
Cheers
