Lynx Golf is going global—again—and they've got big-time goals

Kevin Woolgar, the head of research and development for Lynx Golf, started with the company in 1978, packing boxes in the warehouse. Now, more than 40 years later, he's fighting for the brand's resurgence, one...

Then came the dark days. Els left. Couples did, too. Eventually, Golfsmith swept in to purchase all of Lynx and turned the once-proud brand into an in-house manufacturer, deserting any focus on a premium product. Now Lynx is in the beginning of a turnaround.

In 2013, Steve Elford and his wife, Stephanie Zinser, acquired the brand and set out with growth in mind. They began in the U.K., which remains home base. And the effort has been effective; the company has seen double-digit growth percentage every year since the acquisition, going from the perennial butt of an online ClubProGuy joke to a rapidly-growing manufacturer. European sales are up 135% this year, Zinser says. And now, as of the PGA Show, Lynx is officially headed back to U.S. markets, too.

Nice! I remember my set of Lynx Predators back in the 80's, early 80's pretty sure.

I remember when I first took up golf in the 1970s, my Cousin played with Lynx (possibly` Predator`) irons; they really stood out from the crowd; I was very envious!

My first set of clubs back in 2004 were Lynx cavity backs! MBs in OP look gorgeous - welcome back!

My 9 yr old is currently rocking a set of Lynx youth clubs that I picked up in a pawnshop for $20 (with matching bag), so I guess we're ahead of the game.

Nice irons but they are open stock from the Chinese founders. The blade was a Henry Hatton, Alpha component and the forged cavity is the old Dynacraft Profit head.
