Hey Eric,
Hope your weekend is off to a good start. Just wanted to let you know that bending the putter 3.5 degrees has been nothing short of a miracle. I played 18 on Wednesday and only had 29 putts with zero 3 putts. That’s gotta be one of my best ever. Thank you very, very much!
Weather is still limiting play but fully intend to ping you in the near future to get a round in. Thanks again and talk soon!
Adam


I just wanted to pass something on to the management of Miles of Golf.  The other day I came in for a driver fitting.  I was assigned to Carissa Pitts.  Carissa worked with me for quite a while.  In the end, nothing we tried gave me the distance I was hoping for (however an adjustment she made to my driver did help some).  I was charged nothing since nothing we tried helped.  Carissa’s honesty in not trying to just sell me something I didn’t need was amazing.  Because of that kind of honesty, the next time I need any kind of golf equipment, I will definitely be coming to Miles of Golf.

Jeff Hodson


Hey Eric

Great to hear from you, I absolutely love my new clubs, playing my best golf ever! My best round has been 84….now about that putter, could drop more strokes for sure.
Thanks again, really glad I got fitted, appreciate all your help.

Hi Eric,

I wanted to reach out to thank you again for the iron fitting this past weekend.  It was an awesome experience and I am super grateful for your expertise.  I went in with a small list of clubs I wanted to try and ended up with an iron not even on my radar – funny how that works! Can’t argue with the results though.
I am very excited to get my new irons in and start working on my game with the tips you gave during the fitting.
Thank you again,
Mike Churilla

Eric,
I Just wanted to reach out to say thank you for the time and effort you have put into my fitting’s; you are a true pro and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
I look forward to returning from Jamaica and getting my clubs ordered and in the bag.
I will touch base in 2 weeks!
Thanks, David Foster


Eric,

I just want to say thank you so much for the club fitting. You really made that experience for me. Hopefully you get some additional business from it because I have told everyone lol.

Literally can’t wait for my new clubs!

Have a great day!

Robert Rankin


Eric,

Hi, Doug.I picked up my Mizuno’s (JPX 921 Tour) from MOG on July 5. Since then, my GHIN has dropped from 6.3 to 4.4. Simply put, they are more accurate… and because they are more accurate, I hit more 3 Woods off the tee so that I can hit more fairways and give myself more chances. A 390 yard par 4 is a 3W followed by a 6 to 8 iron, depending on pin placement. Makes it a lot simpler.

I can work the ball when I need to with these clubs and am definitely making more birdies!

Matt Appenzeller


Eric,

Thanks for your good service with my new Scotty putter. Played with it yesterday.I scored 38 for the first time ever.
Love the putter, it will improve my game.
Thanks again,
Homer

Hi Pete,

I was at Miles of Golf for a club fitting today.  I wanted to share a bit about my experience.  I have huge respect for the investment and growth Miles of Golf has made/seen over the years and continues to make/see.  Well done sir.
This being my first club fitting, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.  The entire staff at Miles was welcoming from the very start.  Once I got into the ‘Cluboratory’, Eric explained the process very clearly.  As I started to test new clubs, every question I asked was answered and explained in great detail by Eric.  He went so far as to pull up research data that addressed a specific question of mine.  His knowledge and skillset was evident and impressive from start to finish.  It was a fantastic experience and you could really feel the ‘team atmosphere’ among the staff.
Thank you,
Justin Spoerl

Derek,

I worked with you back in September when you fitted me with a new bag – Ping G410 Driver and 5; and Callaway B21 hybrids and irons. I can’t tell you how much my new clubs have improved my game! Ok, I guess I can. ( – :  The clubs have taken at least 10 strokes off my card. I was an 18 handicap when I saw you in September and just carded a 43 – 39 for an 82! I am hitting my Driver 25 – 30 yards farther and my irons are 10 – 20 yards farther than my former set. Not only hitting them farther but consistently straight. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the great job you did in setting me up with my new clubs. Playing this game is so much more enjoyable. I hope all is well with you! Keep up the GREAT WORK there at Miles of Golf.

Best Regards,

Mark Zimmerman

Loudon, TN


Hi Eric, just wanted to send you a quick note to says THANKS for the fitting yesterday. I really appreciate your willingness to invest in the process with me, as it makes a world of difference, knowing I’ve vetted all the options to come up with the right fit for me.
You have a great passion and commitment to your trade, which is awesome to be around! Again, THANK YOU!!! I can’t wait to get that new 5wood out on the course!
Bill Novak


Pete, I owe you my first born. The new clubs are fabulous. They will improve me a minimum of two strokes a round. The 6 hybrid was phenomenal! I am sending you a client with similar issues—Martin Bidwell. I hope he calls you.

Don Crain


I was recently fitted for irons, driver and 3 wood by Pete. He was very patient, thorough and professional. He was also very friendly and most helpful through the 2 separate fittings. I would certainly recommend him to anyone based on my experience. He just seems like a great young man and is definitely an asset to your business.

Thank you,
Dave Bridges


Hi Eric,

On Wednesday I picked up my new G400 irons that you fitted me for. I played last night & love them. Every iron was 10-12 yards longer & down the middle. I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience. Maybe next year I’ll do the woods.

Paul McKay


Matt,

Thank you and your team at Miles of golf for giving me the peace of mind that my driver was not cracked. I played beautifully down in Alabama this week and almost walked away with the win. Thank you for all of your help with having my clubs dialed to what I need to be successful!

Mahalo!

Colin


The best club fitting experience ever! Matt set me up with new irons, hybrid, fairway wood and driver. He is really good at what he does. He was determined to get it right, no matter how bad I was swinging or how long it took. Then he set me up with a lesson from Doug Spencer. Wow! Matt said he could fix me in 5 minutes. It took 2. Now I feel like I can take my game to the next level. I will be sending friends to Matt and Doug for clubs and swing adjustments.

Tim Nelson

Derek,

I tied for 16th out of 200+ at the World’ in Vegas.  Can’t believe it. Best in our Chapter. Also won $200 in side bets!  Our team placed 5th overall out of about 40+ teams.
Thanks for the all the help.  The driver and Titlest 16.5 were great.  Done for the year and on a great note.
See you soon.  Rich

​​Hi ​​Derek,

​I​ finally got to play my first round with my new clubs. ​I​ played 27 yesterday at hickory woods​,​ the first 9 was a trial and error round, missed a lot of greens long​ ​these ​M​2 irons definitely go farther. ​T​he next two nines were much better as ​I​ got used to hitting the new irons 10-15 yards longer than my old ones.
​B​y the way that ​M​2 driver has added a lot of distance and ​I​ have gained accuracy.

​Your fitting was the best money​ I​​​ have ever spent on golf, will never buy another club without seeing you first !!  ​A side note, never during all 27 holes did i hit, or need to,​ a rescue club. ​T​hanks again, ​I​ will be calling you to get a​ ​new 3 and 5 wood to complete my new set.

Terry Nies


Derek,

I bought the Callaway irons through my pro at John’s Island, they arrived yesterday to Michigan where I am on a golf trip with 16 guys.

The first swing on a golf course for any of the clubs was on #2 at Arcadia Bluffs a 160 yard par 3 into a stiff wind. I smoothed a 6 iron 10 feet beyond the pin which took the slope and rolled back into the hole for an ace! The first swing! (FYI-the first at Arcadia is a short par 5 where I went driver, hybrid)

Well fit, thanks for putting me in the Callaways.
Dick Paulsen

Eric,

Just wanted to pass on a thank you and a note of praise for the fitting session you did for me.  Results have been immediate – Rounds of 77,77,79 on the home courses and 5 rounds between 83-80 down in Pinehurst have been the most consistent golf I can remember. Tour Edge hybrids are fantastic and the irons have really worked out with the additional inch in length. Thanks for your attention to detail – I’ve recommended you and Miles of Golf a lot – (ask for a raise).

Regards
Jerry Toops


Derek,

The irons have been amazing so far.  I’ve played the last 2 days and I am getting the same distance gain on the course that I was getting at the fitting.  The distance gain plus the added height on the shots makes it feel like a new game for me.  You just killed it with my fitting, couldn’t be happier.  Finally got an adapter for the new shaft and dropped it off when I picked up my clubs, so hopefully it will be done in the next few days, anxious to see how good the shaft is.  Thanks again for getting me in the right irons for my game.

Kyle Pidgeon


I had a maxx iron fitting with Derek Skidmore last Friday 4/15/2016 and just wanted to say thanks. The experience was a lot better than I thought it would be. Derek did an exceptional job working with me, we tried all clubs and I hit a lot of balls. I would highly recommend this to any golfer regardless of handicap because I’m a hack and he made me look good. Thanks again.
Steve Hannah


Doug,

Thanks you so much for the time you shared with me on Friday. Not only the new putter but the lesson was invaluable. Shaved 6 strokes off my game last night and only 3-putted three times. (they were nasty lies where the ball would roll back down if you didn’t it a small shelf on the green.) I also played The Mill Saturday, Robins Nest Sunday and practiced at the putting green Sunday..and was getting the feel for the new “roll” and club. Thanks for your help. I will keep in touch. Thank you again for helping me improve my play with a game I love.

Linda Bernhardt


Ken,

Doug worked with my son yesterday with a driver fitting. He was awesome and very encouraging, we had a great time. I appreciate Doug sharing his expertise and experience with both of us. I have already recommended your facility and Doug to a couple of friends. You should be happy Doug is a part of your team. Thank you!

Jim Newsom


Ken,

Thank you so much for the amazing fitting Saturday and also staying a little later. My wife and I really appreciated your help and expertise.

Adam Parker


Ken,

I really enjoyed the SAM putt lab and appreciate the fitting. I have been to your shop in Fairfield several times and have used the range as well (especially in colder weather). You guys have a great thing going on there, keep it up.
Mike


Gentlemen:

I want to thank all of you for the professionalism, patience, knowledge, and expertise you have demonstrated repeatedly in dealing with me! Having been in the education business my whole career, I know how seldom a “thank you/job well done” compliment comes your way particularly when totally deserved! I always preached giving praise deservedly and when due! ” Everyone always remembers when given a Thank You when deserved as when deserved and not given!” I just wanted you to know how happy I am with your service(s); it has been a real pleasure working with you and look forward to more of the same in the future!

Bill


Hey Doug,

Just wanted to let you know I had a blast and found it was definitely worth it. I’ve been practicing a lot the last week and a half with what you’ve showed me and I’ve seen results in no time. I broke 80 for the first time ever on Thursday at Elks run…. from the tips. I followed it up with 76 today at legendary run. Feels good to be throwing darts at greens now. The spin I’m getting on my wedges now is unreal. Thanks again…. I plan on seeing you again in the near future.

Tom


Team Titleist Post;

Dave D replied to Re: 710 vs. 714 model AP2 Irons in Club Fitting.

I play 712 AP1 irons fitted at Miles of Golf. I recently moved to the Chicago area and when I get fitted for my new 714 irons I will hop on I-80 East (tollway) to the US 23 exit and head north to MOG. Their expertise and facility are second to none. Suggest you do the same. Dave D.


Doug,

Thank you for the great evening you & your staff provided for Women’s Night. It was obvious that a lot of time & effort went into the planning. It was very enjoyable & helpful. Please extend my thank you to your staff. I would also like to mention how much I have enjoyed doing business with Miles of Golf in the last number of years. I now find it hard to believe there was actually a time I dreaded going into Miles. (I would only go in if I could not find a golf gift elsewhere. Then one day I was greeted & assisted like my business was wanted.) Your staff is now consistently welcoming & very helpful. Once again, thank you.

Tindy MacBain.


Team Titleist Post:

Thanks so much for the info. It’s very helpful. Now to find a reliable fitter in my area who can fit me into a proper shaft. It’s hard to find a fitter who has a launch monitor or Trackman, let alone who knows how to interpret the data anymore than I do. It’s been hard to find a facility with good fitting capability in the Middlebury/Elkhart/South Bend Indiana area. I guess I’m spoiled from the last several times I was fitted at Miles of Golf in Ypsilanti when I worked in Ann Arbor, MI. I’ve since retired and moved back to Middlebury. Are you aware of anyone in my area with a good track record? Thanks for your help, Ted


Ken, I would like to thank you for your time and expertise on Saturday and getting me fit into the yet to be released Newport Dual Balance. Thanks. Scott Bergman


Hello Shawn;

Just a few words of appreciation for your help this afternoon fitting me for the new Callaway driver. I really like the fact that we focused on the data instead of the brand. It was refreshing working with someone who was very knowledgeable about his profession. You do good work! I am very confident in the purchase and know it will deliver the desired results. Thanks again.

Al


Miles of Golf – Thank you for having such a wonderful facility, and staff…
This past Friday my son, Trent, was in for a club fitting. He purchased a driver, two wedges and a putter. We wanted to let you know how happy Trent is with his new clubs. Please let Mike know how much we appreciate all his knowledge. We golfed 9 holes yesterday and Trent loved all of his new clubs.


Mr. Mile,

My name is Mark MacDonald and I am a senior at Miami University. I am fortunate enough to be on the golf team here as well, and I have been going to your new location to practice near Cincinnati. Even though it’s 40 minutes from campus, it has been well worth the time and effort to get there a few times a week (especially with the weather this winter). I wanted to let you know how great the facility is and more importantly how accommodating and generous your staff has been. They have all been very helpful and kind.

I have to say, it’s about time that there is a fitting center of this caliber in this part of the country. I have been to Hot Stix and Cool Clubs in Scottsdale before it’s great to have something like that here. I will without a doubt refer everyone I know who is in the market for new equipment to your facility.

Again, I just wanted to let you know how great your staff is doing, and how nice it’s been to practice there.

Thanks,
Mark


My Driver Fitting experience in Cincinnati with Derek Skidmore was outstanding. I started out thinking I should focus on the shaft more than anything else. Once I was exposed to the “Cluboratory” and the variety of clubs available for fitting I decided on a new club. My goal was to improve distance and accuracy with a new driver…any driver. I hit six of the newest drivers from the 2014 Golf Digest Hot List with various lofts and shafts. About 90 swings in all. I did not want to judge any club until the data was available from the Trackman. This was all compared to my current driver. In the end the DATA provided the best overall match to swing capabilities to show the best overall performance. I was tired by the end but I feel much better about buying the Taylormade Jetspeed than any driver I have ever purchased in the past. Now if the Cincinnati weather begins cooperating I will put this club to the real test.

Derek was very patient and supportive throughout the process of my fitting. I have to say that Derek helped make the process fun and interesting.

Bud Irvin


Ken,

Just a note to again thank you for all your help and the marvelous job this past weekend. Andy Horn (the golf pro from Kings Island) called me Sunday morning to talk about his experience and was just as excited about his son’s experience as he was his own and couldn’t say enough about your knowledge and professionalism. Also the UC golf team girls all called their coach and also couldn’t say enough good things about their experience and I would anticipate having the entire team to book times the next time your in town (paying customers}. They all look forward to receiving your e-mail and your comments. We have working with the Tomi system that Pete has here so I would like to call you when its convenient with a few questions. It has been a pleasure (for such a short period of time) to work with such a knowledgeable and professional group of men both here and Ann Arbor and I expect great thing to happen here because of that.

Again Thank ‘s So Much

Doug


Hi Shawn,

I’m the customer you fitted for a Cobra ZL Encore driver that needed the 3 gram weight (white head with the black demo shaft you traded to me for the white shaft). Just wanted to let you know I am extremely happy with the new driver. When I swing within myself, I hit it slightly straighter and up to 30 yards longer than my old Taylormade 2007 Burner! I didn’t expect to get as much extra yardage based on the fitting numbers (10 to 15 yards) but since I have played the same course at least 50 times in the last two years, I know I’m hitting to yardages under the same conditions that I have never seen. For instance, today with normal conditions, I hit a few drives that were 270 to 280. The one 280 was into a slight breeze with a very slight downhill fairway. I’m not sure what kind of swing speed can generate those kind of numbers (probably 230 to 240 carry), but I know that the driver is hotter than what I could have imagined.

Thanks for all your help. If in the future, you end up at an equipment company and engineer a driver better than this one, let me know. I will probably buy it!

Sincerely, Dave Hersh


Hi Doug;

Thanks! I will enjoy what little is left of the Fall season.

I also want to say how happy I am with the clubs (XHot Irons, and G25 driver) I purchased from MOG. I really enjoyed the club-fitting experience and especially liked the extra distance and the small but real drop in my average score!!

Best regards,
Jeffrey


Hi Ken,

Thank you for sending the results of my putter fitting. I really appreciate the time you took with me and the instruction you gave. Getting my hands forward into the proper position and keeping them there throughout the stroke are things I would not have done on my own. After we finished I went over to the Lakes of Taylor putting green to try things out. I putted really good for the first time in years! The ball was coming off the face very smoothly; I made a lot of putts and was very close on most of the others. No more bouncing putts! I can’t wait to play this weekend.

Thanks again for a great experience and helping me on the road to better putting.

Carl Willrich


Hi Bryan,

I just want to say thank you again for all your help sizing me for my new sticks. Its just over a month now and I have been consistently hitting low rounds with my personal best round coming on Sunday. (72) I absolutely love my new clubs. I have been and will continue to recommend Mile of Golf and yourself. Thanks again.

Scott Chrzanowski


Chris,

Was just reading the MOG Times in my e-mail and saw the articles about buying clubs now and Frank McAuliffe. Wanted to say that Frank did a great job fitting me for a new driver (Adams Speedline LS). It was not even on my radar when I started the fitting process, but the numbers were by far the best. So far this year, John Richart has been beating me on a fairly consistent basis (though that is about the change), but at least now I am hitting my driver as far as him. Also wanted to thank Shawn, who did a great job fitting me for a set of Mizuno T-4 wedges. Decided to finally go high tech after my old Wilson Staff sand wedge was stolen in Ireland, and am seeing the difference new clubs can make.

Dave Kempner


Ken, I wanted to thank you again for time and evaluation of my putter and putting stroke. I was preaching all day Sunday to my crew about Miles of Golf. I am no longer a “Carls Gofland” advocate. I will be on the market for a driver next season and I will contact you for a custom fitting. Thanks again for your time, feedback, and attention to detail.

Sincerely, Nick Evanoff


Ken,

I want you to know your putting fitting session was the best $100.00 I ever spent! The scores in the 90’s are in the rear view mirror…I will let you know when I see my first 70 something

Thanks again, Murray


Hello Ken;

At the end of my putter fitting with you in March, you asked for feedback in a couple of months. The Odyssey Versa 2 ball putter I left with, is without a doubt, the best putter I’ve ever used. My playing companions have also noticed the difference it has made in my game. In my league I have lowered my handicap 3 strokes so far this year, mostly on the greens.

Thanks for the excellent service, fitting, and recommendation.

John Phillipich


Shawn:

5 Birdies on Sunday! 2-3-3-2 on my other 4 rounds with the new irons and I still haven’t got distances down. Won’t be a 10 handicap for long. I can’t thank you enough for talking me out of game improvement irons. The biggest difference with the Callaway X-Forged vs. the Ping i15’s that I used for the last three years, is that the good swings are much more accurate. Bad swings are still bad. I tried to hit greens with the Ping’s. I aim at pins with the Callaway’s. I think the heavier swing weight has helped with my tempo. That was not anything that I had anticipated. But I think the real change is that this is a more accurate head and more importantly, flighting the ball down has tremendously reduced wind error.

Thanks again. Looking forward to updating other parts of the bag in the future with you.

Dan Carroll


Hey Ken. I want to thank you so much for the help. Rounds one and two are played and I could not be any happier with my new clubs. Was able to swing less, work on consistency, dropped about 9 stokes so far, compared to last year. Minus a nasty snowman on a par 4, my second round would have been only a 4 over. I moved back a tee box from last year. I can not wait to see what the end of the season scores will be. Thanks again for all your help.
For anyone that reads this, I totally recommend the Miles of Golf Staff.

Thanks again,
James McVey


Hi Bryan. I hope all is going well with you. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly with the driver specs. I appreciate your help. If I need anything in the future I will be coming to you because if your excellent customer service and knowledge of the game of golf and your expertise in club fitting. I’ve had a great experience with you and Miles over the past year and I look forward to continuing our business relationship. Thank you again for all your help. Take care Bryan!

Kevin Kelchner, Jr.
NGA Tour Member


Hi Ken,

Thank you for the great putter fitting on Tuesday (2 pm). It was a very good learning experience and the data on my stroke was invaluable. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it and I appreciated your professionalism throughout the process. I thought for sure, you would try to sell me a certain brand of putter, but that was not the case at all. Your goal was to find the best fit possible which I appreciated it!

When you get a chance, can you please e-mail me my analysis data?

Also, was Bettinardi able to customize the BB54 for lie and loft like you wanted? I know we were shooting for lower loft and an upright lie. What specs were they able to meet? I want to make sure they send the correct putter.

Again, I appreciate the help and the information.

Best Regards,
Jason Slade


Shawn,

Played indoor at Tee Box on Sunday..

Hit 10 of 14 fairways. The 4 I missed, I missed by literally inches!

251 average drive, 277 longest in fairway.

Typically been at 104 all winter there. Sunday’s score was 84 at Firestone. Holy Crap!!!

Thanks a million for taking the time to get me into that perfect fit R1 and again for last year’s fitting of the R11 irons! You Rock

A round of golf this summer is on me! Let me know when you want to go out and I’m buying!!!

Sam Fauser


Ken,

Nice to be retired, played today and with the information and new putter I was very pleased with the results. Little windy and wet but managed my best putting performance of the year. Even the putts that missed were short but dead center. Only had one poor stroke which a putter can not fix.

Working on the alignment issue with a overhead string on carpet in basement. Thanks for your, I order couple of 6oz TaylorMade weights that should be here on Thursday.

The R1 is a driving machine and this putter has an excellent feel, and I stroke it well.

Regards,
Bob Frasier


Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how impressed I was with the fitting that Bryan did for me today. His information was right on and he let me ask whatever I needed to. He asked me several times if there was anything else that I needed or he could do for me. In this day and age of customer service he scored an ace! I have been in the customer service area for alot of years and have been quite successful at it so I know what it takes to make someone happy. With so many choices out there to spend your dollars you can bet that Miles of Golf will get mine. Please let him know that I was beyond a satisfied customer!!

Regards,
Tony Walters


Hi Shawn….

Thank you for the best experience in golf I have ever had. You did an excellent job. I can look forward to a game of improved golf in the years to come.

Dan Grandmaison


Hi Sandy,

Thanks for asking for feedback. I have nothing but praise for Miles of Golf and their staff. First of all – YOU!!! You are an inspiration!!! Not just to me, but to every woman (don’t know any men) that has taken a lesson from you. I love your approach. Working with the person and not trying to do a complete alteration (especially at this age!!). I took my first lesson with you at age 60 and I am still so excited after one year!! I am golfing at least 4 times a week and having so much fun and using my new set of clubs (got them 3 days ago!!). Kenny was very helpful in fitting me for my new clubs and I think he helped me make all of the correct choices. Thanks to everyone at Miles of Golf – I appreciate the opportunity to have such a wonderful resource in my backyard.

Susan Galardi


I just want to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for an excellent experience on Sunday during my fitting. Ken did a great job properly fitting me to a great putter and showing me how Miles of Golf is the leader when it comes to a proper fitting. Your facility and was top notch. It meet and exceeded my expectations from what my friends have told me. I will be back next year to get my driver and be passing the word along as well to anyone who is in the market to get proper fitting. BTW can you please have Ken email me my report from Sundays for my records.

Thanks again. John Murphy


For several years now, the facilities and staff at Miles of Golf have helped our men’s golf team at the University of Michigan in several ways. We’ve utilized the winter practice facilities to prepare for early spring competition, relied on the staff’s knowledge of and recommendations for important products and equipment, counted on their dependable club repair services, and trusted their nationally-recognized club fitters to evaluate our players for the best possible set makeup. They have been instrumental in our team and individual success –including two top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championship in the past three years.

Miles has separated itself as a leader in promoting, supporting, understanding, and teaching golf in Southeast Michigan and we’re lucky to have them as a team partner. I recommend Miles of Golf to my fellow coaches and am happy to discuss our team experiences.

Chris Whitten
Head Men’s Golf Coach

Just a short note to say how much I appreciate the people at Miles of Golf. When I have questions about equipment and other golf related items, the staff has always treated me (a senior golfer) as an important customer and demonstrated a sincere interest in helping me get the equipment I need. Keep up the good work as I enjoy shopping in your store and taking advantage of your many services. I really regret that I did not start playing golf until I was 63 as I continue to discovered what a great game it is.

Tim Bortles


Joe,

I want to thank you for setting up my club fitting with Alan Dante. He was a great! Alan was very knowledgeable and easy to talk too. I was amazed that Alan was building clubs that might fit my swing/game right there in front of me and I was able to use them and get the feedback right away. The club and shaft selections seemed endless. I feel like I have thrown my money away in the past on clubs that didn’t fit me or my game. I will never buy another club without getting fit for them first again. I can’t wait to get my new clubs and get out on the course. Thanks again.

Velko Severkoski


Thanks Alan, you did a great job,I think you guys should put an ad in the windsor star in the spring and fall to advertise your sevices and the trackman hi tech state of the art ball flight and shaft analyzer , for the golfer who wants the same launch angle ,spin rate analysis,and landing angles of the pros, and the true visual ball flight all at the same time.There are 220,000 people in windsor and 300,000 in essex county who do not have these state of the art golf facts available for all major manufacturers at their fingertips. You may wish to advertise in the clubhouses of our best private clubs essex g&cc,beach grove golf &cc,and ambassador…..warmest regards

Tom Reiha


Hi Bryan, Wow !!! I will be telling all my friends, family or anyone
else that plays golf, that the way to go is to get fitted for clubs,
especially the driver. I didn’t miss a fairway and my drives were 30 –
40 yards longer than my buddies who were out driving me just a few
weeks ago. It took a few holes before they realized I had a new driver. Then came all the questions. Played Pierce Lake. Shot 77 from the gold tees. Thanks for all your help !!! I’m off to the short range area….

Rick Morford St. Clair Shores, MI


Hello Alan,

Thank you for taking so much time to fit me with a new driver, your knowledge, and especially you patience level, are great. Additionally I extend great appreciation for the courtesy you extended to Ron, the cancer patient who accompanied me. While he left Miles of Golf impressed with the facility, the treatment he received from you and those he encountered in the showroom was the main topic of conversation on our way home. I’m sure that once he has completed his treatment and regained his strength, you will see both he and his son for a fitting.

I’m hoping to get there in a couple of weeks to try again to get fitted for the fairway metals, I just ran out of gas Thursday.

Again, thank you.
John Phillipich


I love Miles of Golf! With my lessons from Sandy Wagner, my club fitting with Ken Johns and my new Cobra 5W, I was able to get a hole in 1 yesterday!!!

Thanks again!
Beth


I just wanted to say thank you to all the staff that helped me, but especially Jim who fitted me with my new Adams V3 Tech irons. I love them. They look great! But, most importantly, I’m hitting good shots with them. And, also a big thanks to Ken who did a putter fitting with me and helped me pick out a new Ghost putter. Putting has improved and I have confidence that I have the right putter for me. Thanks again to all! You’re the best!

Yesterday @ your shop, I purchased the $400 Trackman/Players’ Club “special” for Mason for a Xmas present. I never in my life have received a Xmas present that spectacular, that’s for sure. Thank you for offering this. Mason hadn’t spent any time on Trackman, but Brent set him up yesterday w/ passwords, etc. and Mason loved it. Might be the perfect tool at this point for the effort Mason is putting in to improve his game. Also, another big, heartfelt thank you. My son Graham wanted to go to the EMU basketball game yesterday. On the way to the game, I remembered you, a couple of years ago now, generously offering me a fistful of EMU basketball tickets which I was unable to use at the time. I called MOG yesterday, Brent answered the phone, and he said there were all sorts of EMU hoops tickets behind the counter and to come in and grab two, which Graham and I did.

Thank you so much.


My 3+ decade career working @ Borders Corporate HQ instilled in me the power of supreme customer service (though Borders no longer possesses that commitment, unfortunately). One reason I’ve always felt so comfortable @ MOG and been proud to see Mason grow up there in many ways is MOG’s deep-rooted commitment and comfort in providing top-drawer customer service. I credit you w/ an important piece of that ambiance, commitment.

Thanks again for all, Doug.
Best, Robin Wagner


I would like to thank the staff at MOG for all their assistance this past weekend. I have been coming out to Ypsilanti from Central Pa. for the last 14 years to visit my daughter and did not realize how much technology and professional knowledge was available at your shop. On Sunday, I was fitted to a driver by Alan and according to Trackman, I was able to pick up 20 yds of carry and 20 yds of roll. I took the driver out in the real world last night, at my home course here in Central Pennsylvania (Emporium Country Club) and except for a few mistakes by the dumb end (myself) of the club, I could not be happier. I have never been fitted for a driver before and I see what a huge difference it can make and I was most impressed by how accurate of a decision Alan had made picking out a driver (R9 SuperDeep) just by watching my ball flight. Once on the launch monitor, only one more adjustment needed to be made. I will be making the 5 hour drive shortly to have my 3 and 5 woods fitted to my swing and possibly a couple of hybrids.

Best regards,
Stan Gralak


I have twin 14 year old boys who just received their Titleist 910D3 drivers. We were fit on the Trackman in Ann Arbor, MI. What a great experience. Each son spent an hour on the Trackman trying different shafts and settings to see what worked best for them. When the fitting was complete, our curiousity was peaked as we waited for the driver. The following were the specs for each son:

Setting was 8.5 910D3, A-1 (neutral) Project X – 7C3, 73G-6.0 Tip-Stiff

Setting was 9.5 910D3, B-1 (a bit closed) Diamana 65 Mid Stiff

While they are twins, each swing and style are totally different. My hat is off to Brent Norton who did our fitting. Not only does it appear the selected shafts are correct for each player, I find it amazing that the face settings that were defined during the fitting were so accurate. Especially the setting of B-1, that son’s ball trajectory started a bit more right than his R-9. Biggest difference I see is that Titleist Drivers are about a half of a degree open where most other drivers are biased to the closed side. When Brent adjusted the face, the direction off the Tee was exactly where he aimed with a slight draw and he did it over and over. The other son has been playing Titleist since he was first fit. He is replacing a 909D3 which he hit incredeibly well with the 910D3.

I am extremely pleased with Titleist equipment and golf balls. One son has played Titleist equipment for the past 3 years and is ranked 25th in the class of 2014 by Junior Golf Scoreboard. The other is ranked quite high as well and is now converting to Titleist equipment. I was a big TM fan. I let my kids select what equipment they wanted. I am now a HUGE Titleist fan and wherever golf takes my sons, you can bet Titleist will be in their bags. Please know, I am telling parents I run into about how good this experience has been.

Thanks again for a great experience.

Brandon, thank you for the reply. What a professional you are, how lucky I am that we have connected and you are guiding me thru this process. I understand your thoughts on reshafting the r580xd, accept your recommendations and this is no longer a consideration. Next I trust your judgement regarding a second fitting, if you believe that we will not improve upon the results we have found with the Rapture driver then I will not pursue another appointment. As for the length of the shaft I think it makes sense to play the club first as you suggest and then determine what,if at all I may want to do with trimming the club 1/2 to 3/4 inches. So looking forward I will make the time to practice with the club at your office,when you are available, and use some impact tape. Then you could offer me some advice about shortening the club, if we should, and to what length. I am traveling out of town shortly and will be back Monday morning. I will plan to call you and make arrangements to purchase the club.

Thank you again for your service.

Chris, Long time since we have connected but I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful first time experience I had at your place. I went down with my dad and had a two hour fitting with Brent Norton. What a nice guy and a great experience. I must say I have had many fittings in my life including Hot Stix and Cool Clubs and I would rate my experience today as the best. I actually plan to return in early next year when Titleist has the new ultra light weight shafts available for their new drivers and fairway woods. Hope all is well with you and your family. Hope to see you back up at the Downs next year.

Take care.
Ed V.


I just want to say thanks for a great day to you and all the staff at Miles of Golf. Please pass on the appreciation from all of the class to Shawn, Ken and Pete as well. It was a great day and the students could not stop talking about it at lunch after our departure. To have the opportunity to expose them to a world class facility like Miles of Golf will prove to be invaluable to their educational experience and their future. I also want to say thank you personally for your time and continued support. I am hoping to come see you for some personal work on my own game during the week of March 15th – March 19th. As a matter of fact, I know I could come over on Tuesday March 16th any time in the morning if you can accommodate me for some time. Just let me know and I will be there.

One more time – Thanks again and I hope to possibly see you again on March 16th if you can fit me in.

Brent,

I went through the putter Maxx fitting several weeks ago and you ask me to send you an email and give you my opinion of the putter and the fitting process. I am happy to advise you that my putting has improved dramatically. I purchased the Ping D066, Redwood Series, putter and I also purchased a TaylorMade Burner driver, 3-wood and 3 utility at the same time.
I am extremely happy with everything I purchased, but the biggest improvement in my game is the putting. I now have a putter that “fits”. My putting has always been the weakest part of my game. It is now the strongest part of my game. Your instruction and visually identifying my tendencies on the analyzer made a huge difference in my approach to putting.

I can only think of one thing you might want to improve. You seemed slightly reluctant to turn the fitting into a putting “lesson”. I don’t think you should be concerned with that. The things that we talked about during the fitting helped me as much as the actual fitting. It was obvious that you have a lot to offer instruction wise. I would have been willing to pay for a lesson and the fitting. Maybe Miles of Golf should offer the fitting at one price and throw in the lesson for a slightly higher price. You spent a great deal of time with me and I truly appreciate your help and expertise. I live in Jackson, but you have gained a new customer. I have sent several people your way and they have also been happy with your shop. Keep up the good work!

Thank you!!
Chuck DeBruler


I just wanted to relate what a wonderful experience I had with
Brandon. He spent the time with me to get me the right new clubs. And
even took the time to prove to me that these were the best clubs for
me. Can’t say enough.

Thanks,
RJ


Brent, Yesterday, on Saturday, May 19th a gentleman named Brian Thompson came into Miles of Golf looking for new clubs. He is left handed and we were able to accomodate him in the cluboratory. Mr. Thompson told myself and Chris Dewulf that he went to two other golf stores and not a single person waited on him. He told us that he walked around store 1 for 25 minutes and no one even said hello to him. At store 2, he was just given clubs and sent to the range, and the clubs they gave him were designed to do the opposite of what he wanted. Mr. Thompson ended up placing an order with us for Nike CCI Irons and a couple of TaylorMade Draw hybrids. He wanted to commend us on the outstanding customer service, he is a customer that will definitely come back in the future. I thought you would like to know that our customer service is worlds better than our nearest competitors. If you have any questions please ask. Thanks.
