Club Champion, NJSGA Partner, Opens N.J. Custom Club-fit Store

The New Jersey State Golf Association has partnered with Club Champion, a national leader in custom club fitting and building, in advance of its latest store opening.

On Monday, April 13, Club Champion opened its 11th store – to serve New Jersey and New York - at 417 Route 17 South in Hackensack, N.J. Other Club Champion locations exist in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago area (three stores), Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

“We are pleased to partner with Club Champion, which offers a unique service to New Jersey golfers. Club Champion has a record for outstanding service to the golf community and we look forward to a long and lasting relationship between them and the NJSGA,” said Frank O’Brien, NJSGA president.

Club Champion is offering deep discounts to NJSGA members, who can save 50 percent on a full bag fitting (now $175); save 33 percent on driver or iron fitting (now $100), and save 25 percent on putter fitting (now $75).

“The New Jersey State Golf Association is very prevalent with involved golfers. Our target customer has to care about what they shoot. We want to cater to more than the casual golfer,” said Joe Lee, Club Champion CEO. “We want to work with the one who keeps a handicap and constantly wants to get better in the game of golf.”

“We know that members of the NJSGA are passionate golfers, so this partnership is a natural fit for us. We are extremely pleased to be bringing better fitting equipment and lower scores to the area, and are truly excited about how our relationship with NJSGA members will grow as our tenure in northern New Jersey develops.”

Club Champion is a Golf Digest Top 100 club fitter and builder of premium golf clubs. Its mission is to help people enjoy the game of golf by improving their equipment to fit their game.

“Club Champion provides a specialized methodology to find the precise golf equipment for you and your game. The majority of golfers today do not buy golf clubs the optimum way. Instead of using the trained eye of an experienced fitter utilizing state of the art tools, they are lured by marketing,” Lee commented.

“Our whole value proposition is in a providing tailored process to find, and then custom build the right equipment for a golfer. Golfers fit by Club Champion see a dramatic impact on their game almost immediately.”

Club Champion fits clubs by appointment in a vendor agnostic manner in its state of the art facility by matching shafts and club heads until the best results are achieved. Utilizing all leading brands of heads and shafts, including TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist, Ping, Nike, Mizuno, Fujikura, Accra, Mitsubishi, Aerotech, Nippon, etc., gives the customer almost unlimited choice and great performance results.

The company utilizes highly experienced fitters, along with tools like the TrackMan Pro®launch monitor and SAM PuttLab® to help measure key variables and performance characteristics as part of its detailed process.

“That’s the distinction,” Lee said. “We can mix and match over 15,000 different combinations to create the perfect fit for a player of any level, regardless of handicap. By evaluating these different combinations in real time during the fitting, the player truly gets an unparalleled recommendation from a seasoned fitter. In many fitting systems, golfers work with a finished club. However, we can change variables to create almost unlimited permutations. This is a big advantage across the marketplace. The measuring devices we use don’t know what club you’re using, they just measure performance”, Lee added.
