To be a certified club fitter.

[hypergolf]

Hi guys. I am just curious as to how you can go about becoming a certified club fitter. Which courses/club fitting schools would be considered best in the world? How long does the whole process take from being knowing nothing to a good certified club fitter? How much investment would be needed for acquiring the knowledge? Once that is completed, how much on average does it cost to set up a club fitting shop? Any inputs would be appreciated. Tks.

Thank you. I have already been to that site. However things that I asked above could not be answered.

I am sorry for asking lots of silly questions but I am just curious about the industry. How many shafts do you usually order to keep in stock in general? How many of each brand, flex, etc? I guess it will depend on the popularity of the product but lets for example say Aldila VS Proto Stiff. How many of them would you order at a time and keep them in your inventory? Also what would be the average number of club jobs done per day? What would you say would be the highest number of type of jobs done per day (eg: re gripping, shaft extension, shaft replacement, lie angle etc) Finally what would be the average revenue of a club fitting store per month in general? Just in genral... (Therefore if I were to compare with a dentist the answers to above would be like: Order mostly for scaling, toothpaste, floss, etc. Average job of 10-12 clients per day and most jobs done in a day on average is scaling and treatment of tooth decay. Average revenue from month to month would be roughly $xxx.xx but if more patients come in for root canal etc on a given month $x,xxx.xx on an average. A good benchmark income for club making store would be $x,xxx.xx/month.) Thanks.

This will depend on your clientle and what amount of inventory you are comfortable keeping.

Depends on location, seasonality, your advertising, etc.

I know my answers were a little vague but there are still too many variables (Mainly location) to help narrow those numbers down.
