When I first laid eyes on Nike Golf research and development facility, "The Oven", in Ft. Worth Texas in early 2007 I could only call myself a bit of a skeptic. As a one-time retail golf store owner I had been witness to Nike's early attempts to enter the golf industry in the late 1980's [...]

Long before custom golf club fitting became mainstream a small company out of Idaho was preaching the benefits.

Since they burst onto the golfing scene, it's fair to say that Nike golf have surprised everyone with the scale of their success.
