Club Champion now open

Club Champion, a leading golf club fitter and builder of the best brands in golf, opened a studio store at 11651 Parkside Drive in Farragut, Thursday, April 20, and is accepting fitting appointments.

A Willowbrook, Illinois, company, “Club Champion offers more than 65,000 hittable golf club head and shaft combinations and the best-trained master fitters in the country,” stated Cassandra Bausch in a company press release. “Independent studies found that the average Club Champion customer gained 22 yards with their driver and saved six strokes.”

Additionally, she added, “high handicappers saw the biggest gains.

“We are excited to bring this service to your market.”

For a limited time, the new store in Farragut will celebrate opening the store by offering 50 percent off fitting fees with an equipment purchase of $500 or more.

“Putter fittings are the only exception; they are 50 percent off with the purchase of a new putter,” Bausch stated.

This is Club Champion’s third location in Tennessee. It “fits, sells and builds custom golf clubs, using brands such as Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping, Titleist, Cobra, Fujikura, Golf Pride and many more,” she said.

“The company delivers a tour-level fitting that produces longer, more accurate shots with a nearly 100 percent satisfaction rate for golfers of any ability level,” Bausch added.

She said the new studio features two indoor hitting bays with TrackMan launch monitors for analyzing performance, a SAM PuttLab system to find the perfect putter and a build shop for repairing and assembling golf clubs by hand.

“The roughly 3,000-square-foot space also includes a demo matrix to display the head and shaft options that make up their 65,000 hittable combinations,” Bausch stated.

“Farragut is the latest stop on our quest to give Tennessee golfers the best possible custom golf clubs in the industry,” said Nick Sherburne, founder of Club Champion. “Our goal remains finding the best combination of components to help customers lower their scores and better enjoy the game.”

Ranked by Golf Digest as one of the 100 Best Club Fitters 10 years running, Club Champion “has a unique coupling system used to combine any head and shaft together, so golfers hit the precise combination to be custom built for them,” Bausch stated. “They are the only fitter in the country to offer 65,000 interchangeable head and shaft combinations at all locations.”

“Many players think they aren’t good enough to be custom fit, but we’ve participated in multiple third-party studies that showed higher handicappers saw the biggest gains,” Sherburne emphasized.

“Some of these golfers shaved as many as 10 strokes per round.”

The studio is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday. More information can be found at www.clubchampion.com or by calling 865-666-2262.
