Greetings!

We're starting our seventh year at the Golf Lab. 2008 promises enough new equipment and technology to get even the most jaded players excited. Who doesn't want to "buy a better game?" But our first order of business is to let our customers know what is going on with the Golf Lab.

Six years ago, Leith Anderson and Bob Huff founded the Golf Lab. We planned to get ahead of what we saw as the next wave in golf - custom fitting and custom clubs. We did a good job of it, growing sales from nothing to almost half a million dollars. We introduced SST PURE to Northern California and tried some adventures such as fielding the Golf Lab Tour Van. Our fitting and clubmaking techniques are recognized as "Tour Proven" and state of the art. We were named a "Top 100" shop worldwide. No custom golf shop that we know about has been more successful in attracting customers.

Bob married three years ago. Last year he and Laura welcomed a daughter, Samantha. All of a sudden, Bob's priorities changed to think about college educations. The Golf Lab, even though profitable, cannot guarantee enough income to make sure that Sam's tuition will be covered. Consequently, Bob took a new job selling high tech gear. Why not? It's Silicon Valley.

Bob is still involved with the Golf Lab, but on a much more limited basis. Meantime, Leith and Clint have been doing their best to stay up with the business. To be honest, we have been smothered. There have been times that we couldn't respond immediately to calls and missed delivery dates. That's two guys trying to do what three guys used to do. We apologize for that.
