Studio › Who Works Here
A small shop means the person who measured your clubs is still in the room when the recommendation gets made. Nobody hands you off.
Owner · fitting and build
Twenty-three years in the trade, nine of them inside a national retailer before he got tired of fitting to a floor plan. Garrick handles most driver and iron sessions and does the final inspection on every club that leaves the bench. He is the one who insists on the trimmed average and he will explain why at some length if invited.
Short game · wedge specialist
Came from turf management rather than retail, which is why the wedge protocol here talks about soil moisture and grass species instead of just bounce numbers. Priscilla built the wet-face spin test we run on every wedge session and maintains the groove-wear dataset that the Wear Ledger articles draw from.
Bench technician
Builds, reshafts, regrips, bends and extracts. Ruben came out of a bicycle frame shop and brought a frame builder's attitude toward tolerances with him, which mostly manifests as refusing to sign off on a set whose swingweights vary by more than half a point. Wednesday drop-off work is his day.
Measurement · front desk
Runs the intake bench, takes the loft, lie, frequency and grip readings before your session starts, and keeps the filing cabinet in order. If you get a phone call about your annual re-check it is Odalys making it. She also fits juniors, and does it more patiently than the rest of us manage.
How the work is split
Requests for a specific fitter are honoured and cost nothing extra, but most people do better letting the category decide. Wedge and putter work goes to Priscilla because that is where six years of her measurement archive lives. Long clubs go to Garrick. Odalys runs intake on everything and fits juniors on her own.
Whichever bay you are in, Ruben builds the result. He was not in the room when the decision was made, and that separation is intentional: the person assembling the club checks the spec sheet against the finished article as an independent reading rather than a confirmation of his own work.
Nobody here is paid a percentage of what they sell. Salary and an annual share tied to how many clients return for the free re-check — which is the only number we could think of that rewards being right rather than being persuasive.
Weekday afternoons open up first. Saturday slots in April and May usually fill about three weeks out, so call earlier than feels necessary.
