Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Clubfitters” list left the best one out. 100 clubs, facilities, and retail chains are promoted, but not the one individual I say is the best – Gurbaaz Mann. Just look at the questions the writer asks his contributors. Some of the most inane, trite, overplayed concerns about clubfitting are on full display… ridiculous.

Gurbaaz can tell you what is really important about clubfitting. Many of his clients have written to me, based on Google search FOR Baaz, and volunteered unanimous opinions that he is a genius. The question then is, how can a respected golf publication ignore someone so brilliant and talented when directing traffic? The answer is simple.

To have a “Best” means concentrating the flow of dollars to one person. A Top 10 list funnels business to ten people, and so on. Moreover, regional concerns are at issue to disperse dollars, create and meet demand, and keep people from talking to one another about their disappointment.

Believe me when I tell you that I have met many more people unhappy with their clubfitters than happy with them. And, it’s not because clubfitting is pointless. It’s because kids are playing at the grown-ups’ table.

I’ll contact Baaz for an interview with questions designed to identify expertise AND real knowledge. I just have to figure out how to convince you without giving his knowledge away. The best option is for you to call him and ask him the questions I would formulate.

Perhaps I’ll post my questions, ask Gurbaaz for permission to make his phone number available, and allow you to ask him directly. Again, believe me, you’ll be amazed with his ability to articulate complex physical and intellectual systems. However, now is not the time to assume badly. I’ll post again soon.

Open your stance, and play golf.
