Family Owned and Operated
Welcome to Hodson Golf! Pictured are generations #2, #3 and #4 which all started with my grandfather Bert Hodson who played in the 1931 Ryder Cup. Although we have come a long way from those early days back in Wales, Hodson Golf is on the cutting edge of today’s ever changing golf environment. We bring decades long knowledge and love of the game to our family profession of custom club-fitting and custom club-making. We custom fit and custom build for most of the leading manufacturers while also offering a variety of heads, shafts, and grips typically found only on the PGA Tour.

View BioI have been in this business since I was a kid and have fond memories of being taught how to re-grip clubs when I was nine (my father would pay me a whole $.25 per grip!) This soon progressed to most facets of club repair and by the time I was 14 I had a full blown business re-finishing persimmon & laminate wood heads for most of the local country clubs (special thanks to Ed King who taught me to re-finish and helped me set up my first repair operation in my parents basement). 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. My focus these days is running this growing business which is now designated as a top fitting destination for most manufacturers. I am proud to sit on the National Fitters Board with Callaway Golf and we have proudly been designated as one of the top 100 fitting centers by Golf Digest ever since this prestigious designation began back in 2010.
