  • Club Fitting Basics

    Get shaft flex and lie angle matched to your swing speed and height.

  • Grip Size Check

    Proper grip size prevents hooks and slices caused by hand action compensation.

  • Fore! Always

    Shout "Fore!" the instant a shot heads toward other players — it is non-negotiable.

Safety Notes

  • Yell 'Fore!' immediately if your ball heads toward other players.
  • Stay alert during thunderstorms — golf courses are exposed to lightning.
