"We've got three teaching pro's, who give lessons and fitting, which is our real speciality. We have a flight scope 3D Doppler radar launch monitor that we can get you an actual spin rates, dynamic loss, smash factors and swing speeds. Just to kind of get you right into the right club, ya know we fit you completely to the t."

With all of these tools now available to golfers, the next step is finding the right course.

"There are a lot of great courses. Ya know, you got Bershire over here in Williamston, and then right down the road between Jolly and Hagadorn is College Fields. Meridian Sun you also have with Bill Moree over there, great teacher. And then you ave the Acres complex at Forest Akers."
