The Golf Lab Gang wishes you the very best this Christmas season. May 2006 be the best year of your life!!

Bob, Clint and Leith have been hanging out down on the corner of 101 and Embarcadero in Palo Alto for three years. We just extended our lease for another year so we’re good to go through March 2007. With a little breathing room, we’re doing some upgrades. You might not recognize the old place the next time you stop by. We’re just a minute off of 101.


New Technology at The Golf Lab
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the technology side, we’ve added the new Max Out Golf Shaft Max. One of only two units in the world, this revolutionary diagnostic tool gives you a “fingerprint” of your swing. The Shaft Max proves that fitting by swingspeed alone is not enough. We’ve always known that, but had no way to measure the way a player loads the shaft. Now we do. For some players, shaft flex recommendations are radically different. Stop by for a quick test to get your own fingerprint.

Since it’s the Christmas season, we are compelled to offer a few incentives to get you to alter your plans in the next couple of weeks to pay us a visit. We will be closed on Christmas Eve, but open between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

But first, our new best friend Colin Montgomery stepped up to endorse the SST PURE shaft alignment system. Here is what he said in his own words. Thanks Monty, we’ll root for you next time!!

“PUREing does interest me very much indeed. It is the thing of the future. I believe that every shaft should be PUREd to put any structural inconsistency in a plane “down the line” rather than “across it.” At the very least it’s got to help, psychologically, to know that every shaft is exactly the same. Ideally, shafts should be PUREd at the factory before the graphics are put on so that they are all visually consistent as well.”


Freebies!! Freebies!! and Christmas Specials
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A couple of months ago, we introduced the brand new “Epoch Tees” that guarantee you extra distance. We’re willing to agree that you might get one inch more – we’re tough to convince on space age tees – but they last a whole round if you jiggle them a little bit before you hit your drive. A free dozen for any customer who stops by in the next two weeks.


Special Purchase: KZG Three Woods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We bought the last of a great model from KZG. It’s their shallow faced three wood that was the original inspiration for the Orlimar fairway metals from a few years ago. This one has the maraging steel face that made Orlimar famous. Original price was $249 and that was on the Infomercial. If you come by in the next two weeks test your swing, make sure we’ve got the flex and length correct, find a premium pull- out shaft and set you up with a brand new KZG three wood. We’ll do it while you wait, if you don’t mind waiting, and charge you $99 That’s the best deal on the planet for a quality three wood.


Utility Clubs – the Wave of the Future
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you’re still carrying long irons, you’re probably not wearing them out. For most players, the 3 iron is out of the bag. The 4 iron is next. If you haven’t tried a utility club yet, now is the time. We have a nice selection of utility heads, good performing component models, that we’ll set up for $69 Now might be a good time to give that 4 iron a rest.

If you insist on top name brands, we have them. Our favorites are Sonartec and Mizuno. If you want top of the market quality, we can set up a Sonartec MD for $249 with a Fujikura Banzai, SST PUREd. The Mizuno Fli-Hi goes for $189


Give Yourself a Present this Year
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need just a little incentive to stop by and get fitted for that set of irons or driver that you’ve been thinking about. Do it before the New Year and we’ll save you some money you can use for more presents for your loved ones.

Here are two gift certificates just for you:

Since we’re thinking about gift certificates, how about treating your favorite golfer to a Golf Lab fitting. We’ll send a very nice, laser printed certificate, in a Golf Lab envelope, signed by Bob or Leith for $249 If you buy a gift certificate for a friend, we’ll make another one just for you. To show our appreciation, your Full Golf Lab fitting will be just $149 If you haven’t experienced a Golf Lab fitting, you’re missing a great experience that will improve your game. If you want to talk about it, give us a call at the shop. We’re there all the time. 650-493- 1770.

That’s it for now. If you don’t have a chance to stop by, we’ll see you in 2006. One more time: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Leith Anderson, Bob Huff, Clint Smith, Andrew Losik, Heather Hughes and Chuck Cali. (The Golf Lab Gang)
