Country Acres Custom Golf has added the popular line of Rife putters to our list of upscale golf clubs we carry.   We will stock several models.  Putters come in uncut and ungripped.   Included with each sale will be a basic putter fitting and then each putter will be cut to proper length and bent to proper lie, in keeping with the goal of  ‘The Fit Is It!!’.  There will be no charge for the custom service.  Stop by and check us out!            Don

     In our ongoing effort to stay up with the latest technology we have decided to purchase an EDH Flightscope Kudu launch monitor this year.  This is a three phase array radar launch monitor and is one of the most accurate models available.  With three phase radar the monitor has the ability to triangulate on an object and give very reliable feedback as to what is happening with it at all times during the ball flight.  It not only has the ability to track the ball but can track the club as well.   This means it can tell us the path of the club on the backswing and the forward swing as well as where the clubhead is at impact, open, closed or square.  This allows us to make solid decisions based on the data.  As a result of this purchase it will be necessary to raise fitting fees to $85.   We feel you will find that it will be well worth it!  Call today for an appointment and let’s see if we can get you some more distance!  As always thanks for your support.             Don

Bryce was custom fit this summer with a set of Wishon blades.  Looks like it’s paying off!

Hole in One on 250 yard par 4!!

Don,

I wanted to let you know that I had a hole in one today while playing in a scramble with Matt Hefley (who you also built some clubs for).  It was on a short par 4 (250 yards) at Fairfield Country Club.  With a little wind at the back I used a 4 iron and it hit on the green, released a little, and then we never saw it!  Hole in one and double eagle all on the same hole.  We ended up shooting 13 under for the day.  Thanks again for the clubs.

     As you can see Michael had a very successful season.  Michael gets instruction from Steve Heckle PGA Pro and his high school coach Brent Sutton.  Also, Michael’s dad is a huge influence as is his “Team Manager”and Mom Patty Molt.   Michael has a swing that any of us would be proud to have.

    We wish Mike continued success for the upcoming season.  With the right clubs, the teaching, hard work and the current support system he has, he should expect another outstanding year!

“Don———Thank you for once again helping Michael have a fun and rewarding 2008 season.  We look forward to Michael’s Club Fitting appointment this spring.”
