About Gary's Golf 101

Gary's Golf 101 offers custom club assembly, club repair, and re-griping services using golf club heads designed by Ralph Maltby, a pioneering authority in modern golf club design engineering. The business is owned by Gary Davidson, a 1975 graduate in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering who has completed specialized courses in club assembly, repair, fitting, and shaft technology.

What makes them unique

Gary's Golf 101 uses Ralph Maltby-designed club heads and applies frequency matching to assembled shafts, along with precise swing weight and length adjustments. The shop stocks over 300 grips in all sizes and styles, and uses high-quality 4500 psi epoxy (requiring 24-hour cure) rather than quick-set alternatives.

Fitting philosophy

The business believes custom-fitted clubs built locally are less expensive than off-the-rack alternatives because they eliminate large markups, and emphasizes that clubs should be fit to your specific size, swing speed, hand size, and playing characteristics. Gary's Golf applies frequency profiling (measuring cycles per minute and shaft flex) to evaluate your existing clubs and inform custom assembly with matched shafts and proper swing weights.
