| Introduction | Owner, operator, technician, yard man, chief cook and bottle washer for Pickle’s Custom Golf. I’ve been around the golf business since I was a kid and came to it as "my business" before the turn of the century. Thanks to: Harold Sexton, my Ben Hogan influence, for the countless hours of range time and “skull sessions” watching video and scrutinizing photo’s; Manuel de la Torre, World Golf Hall of Fame Teacher and the first ever National Teacher of the Year, for his “teaching the teacher” guidance, swing concept and integration of the physical and mental game. Through clubmaker and custom fitting schools, I’ve had first hand access to some of the best equipment design engineers and club fitters in the business. Their resume’s include equipment for the tour pro’s, many GolfDigest “Hot List” recognized designs and award winning “long drive competition” heads and shafts. |
