EASTON – Pine Oaks Golf Course was recognized as one of the top 100 club fitters of the year in the United States for 2014, according to golf club manufacturer Ping.
Ping said the recognition “salutes authorized Ping fitters who have demonstrated the highest commitment to custom fitting and the promotion of its benefits to golfers of all abilities.”
Mark F. Petrucci, manager and golf professional at Pine Oaks Golf Course, said the course has been a top 100 club fitter for years, and has been recognized by Ping numerous times in the past.
“We’re honored to receive the award,” Petrucci said, adding that 70 percent of the iron sets the course sells are custom fit.
A custom fit set “optimizes your performance,” Petrucci said.
John A. Solheim, Ping chairman & CEO, said in a statement, “We’re proud to recognize these fitters, because they’ve shown an ongoing and sincere dedication to the vital hands-on work of helping golfers experience the benefits of custom-fit Ping equipment firsthand.”
“They seek out our industry-leading fitting technology and they take a vested interest in helping golfers hit the ball farther and straighter through their fitting expertise. Their dedication to the importance of fitting supports Ping’s mission to make the game easier and more enjoyable for players of every ability level. In turn, we’ll continue to offer fitters the most current training and education practices along with innovative new fitting tools, software and research,” Solheim said.
Winners were chosen based on points earned across several criteria, including custom orders, commitment to ongoing training, sustained sales growth, use of Ping tools and technologies, and support of the entire Ping product line.
