Another feature of the store is the Golf Tech Shop providing technical facilities which include a custom fitting suite for woods, irons and wedges fittings and testing, a putter fitting studio, golf club DNA stations for club specificat­ions, and workshop for club repairs and services.

“The facility is equipped with a GC Quad, the industry’s latest launch monitor, putter fitting system and golf simulator incorporat­ed with fitting demos. In addition, a comfortabl­e TV Lounge area is specially prepared for golfers to relax and have a cup of coffee while waiting for club services,” said Ng.
