Zac and the guys get a rare visit inside “The Oven” @ Nike Golf

Great article about Zac’s recent trip to “The Oven” which is Nike Golf’s R+D facility. Of all the R+D facilities that all the various manufacturers has, “The Oven” is considered the most exclusive and the most difficult to visit. It’s very rare indeed for anyone outside of the Nike Elite to even walk through the front door much less to get a complete tour and even go through a one-of-a-kind clubfitting.

I am the youngest with in a golfing family which has spanned three generations. My grandfather started the tradition in England (Bert Hodson-1931 Ryder Cup Team) and has since passed on his knowledge and love of the game. Although I did not follow in the steps of my father and grandfather on a professional golfing level, my love of the game and commitment to accurately fit equipment has only grown. Even as a kid I enjoyed re-gripping clubs which eventually led to refinishing wood heads, re-shafting, and now has culminated in more detailed custom club fitting, building, and repair.
