Low handicappers need a very experienced club fitter who can ascertain the subtle differences and nuances in a person’s swing and relate those to the physics of the club

The low handicap golfer is usually an individual that plays golf on a very regular basis; has been or is taking instruction; and has changed equipment often enough that what they are using is closer to a fit than the average golfer’s clubs.  This means that the club fitter needs to understand the physics of the swing and be able to relate it to the physics of the club.  It also means that the fitter needs to be highly qualified and very experienced in fitting golfers so he can identify those subtle differences that can improve the golfer’s game. 

Low handicapped golfers will be fitted by Tom Cook, Sr., the only Certified “Class A” Club fitter in Minnesota.  Tom was the first clubfitter in Minnesota to use computers for fitting clubs over 17 years ago, which means he is very experienced fitting golfers with computers.  He was honored by the Professional Clubmakers’ Society as “International Clubmaker of the Year” in 2002.  He is a charter member of the World Scientific Congress of Golf, St. Andrews Scotland.  He is the only clubmaker in the United States that has attended 3 of the World Scientific Congresses of Golf in St. Andrews, and the only clubmaker to attend the “International Golf Theory in Practice Conference in Ulster, Ireland.  Tom is well know and very respected nationally as one of the top clubfitters in the nation.  Beyond this he has a passion for fitting that you will not find with any other club fitter in Minnesota. 

All club alterations or club building will be done by Tom, Jr. & Kimberly both Certified “Class A” Clubmakers.  Pat Ryan Golf is the only shop in Minnesota with all staff being certified clubmakers.

If the low handicapper thinks his/her game is important to them, it becomes even more important to Tom, Sr. and the Cook Family.  They will be doing whatever is necessary to develop golf equipment that compliments the golfers playing needs.
