Merry Christmas

     We have a great selection of drivers, fairways, hybrids, iron sets and putters right now. If you're in the market for new or pre-owned equipment please give us a call. We have gift cards available for the golfer on your list and they can be used for lessons, equipment or club repair services.

     The four year anniversary of opening Golf Rx  is almost here, and I’m happy to say the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship has been an exciting one. It would not have been possible without the support of my friends, customers and family. A heart-felt “Thank You” to you all and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Golf Rx is your One Stop Golf Shop

      It's been nearly four years since I opened Golf Rx, and I would like to thank all my friends and customers for their continuing support. My concept for Golf Rx was to have an indoor golf facility that would be a "One Stop Golf Shop" offering PGA Instruction, professionally fit equipment and club repair services.
      I have been in the golf business for over 25 years so I realize golfers have lots of choices when it comes to lessons, golf equipment and repair services. For that reason we work very hard to provide the professional knowledge, customer service and products that you'll want to tell your friends about. 
     If you haven't visited Golf Rx please make a point to stop by next time you're in the Mt. Juliet Area. We are conveniently located in the Mid Way Shopping Center on Lebanon Rd. Thank you again to all our friends and customers and Best Wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving

Thoughts on Custom Fitted Equipment

     I was introduced to custom fitting in 1987 while serving as Education Chairman of my PGA Section. Twenty five years later I continue to emphasize the importance of properly fitted equipment to my students and customers.

     We have all heard the saying, "It's not the arrow, but the Indian", but I can assure you if you're playing with antiquated or ill-fitted equipment you're at a distinct disadvantage. No two players possess the same physical stature or swing characteristics so why would we assume they should be using the same equipment? It simply makes no sense. You wouldn't buy a suit off the rack without trying it on, nor should you invest in new equipment without being custom fit.

    At Golf Rx I only offer custom fitted golf equipment to my students and customers, and in my opinion this is the only way professional golf equipment should be sold.

Beware of buying clubs on the internet

Recently I have had customers bring clubs in for repair from Ping, Callaway and Taylor Made. After inspecting them and calling the manufacturers to check serial numbers I had to inform my customers they were counterfeit. They were now owners of useless junk with no recourse for getting their money back. Please beware of buying golf clubs on the internet. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost always is.

Ready to invest in new clubs?

If you are considering investing in a new set of clubs make sure to get fitted by a PGA Professional. At Golf Rx we specialize in custom fitted golf equipment. In fact we don't sell off the rack sets. There are a number of reasons why we do this:

1. Custom fitted clubs are the same price as off the rack sets.
2. Custom fitted clubs will help you play better golf.
3. Your set make up can be customized so that you're only purchasing the clubs you really need.
4. You will receive your new custom fitted clubs in one week.
5. All factors including length, shaft type and flex, lie angle, grip size, driver loft and set make up will be customized.
6. All your information is on file so additional or replacement clubs will exactly match your existing set.
7. All major club brands offer custom fitted equipment to the golfing public.

You wouldn't buy a suit off the rack without trying it on. It doesn't make sense to invest in new clubs without being custom fit. Steve Kirkpatrick, owner and PGA Professional has over 25 years experience in custom fitting players. Call Golf Rx today to schedule your fitting. 

How to become a better putter

    Improving your putting is the fastest way to lower your scores.  To become a great putter you need to combine two skills - Distance and Direction. Most weekend players only focus on direction while disregarding the importance of distance.
    All great putters are excellent lag putters so practicing your distance control is imperative. Place tees at 30,40 & 50 feet away on the practice green and lag putt to each. Your goal should be to get within 4 feet of each tee.
    For short putts place 6 balls in a circle three feet from the hole. Later move back to 4 feet. On shorter putts place your weight on the balls of your feet and keep your head steady during the stroke. Resist coming out of your posture early by peeking at the hole.
     Putting is forty percent of your score so allocate your practice time to include more putting. Maintain a good attitude and realize that sometimes good putts don't go in. I will promise you by investing in proper practice your skills will increase, your confidence will build and your putting will improve.
