Their custom built golf clubs have been a huge reason for their success. Now that they have achieve a level of success, their next step is to get as many people as possible to test our their clubs and get custom fit for their clubs. In Santa Ana, at the Roger Dunn Golf Shop, Honma has recently opened a Honma club fitting gallery for patrons to give their clubs a whirl. The Golf Life team went to the Golf Shop to get fit for a set of custom golf clubs. Here is the process from start to finish at the Honma club fitting gallery.

When you first walk into the gallery, the first thing that you will notice are two sets of golf clubs, in the range of $50K-$75K/set, sitting in glass display cases. Honma spends a lot of time and effort on craftsmanship. They create the most flawless, detailed set of golf clubs you will ever see in your life. As you meet the team in the gallery, one of Honma’s expert club fitters will then walk you around the gallery explaining all the different types of clubs they manufacture. From women’s to seniors and everything in-between, they have a set of clubs that will be perfect for your game. From their, it’s down to business. You will get on the hitting simulator and start hitting shots with irons, hybrids and woods. The experts at the Honma club fitting gallery will experiment with different club lengths, lies and club heads. Numbers from the hitting simulator will give the experts a good read on what kind of golfer you are and what the perfect set of clubs would be for you!

After you have finished with your fitting, Honma has the ability to order your set of irons right then and there.

The Flatstick Pub: Where Golf and Beer Meet!

Aug 27, 2018

As it says on their website, there are only two rules: drink local and have fun! We all know that drinking (beer) has always been apart of golf. It is hard not to have a brew on the course every once in a while. But what we haven’t seen is where they mix beer and golf under one roof. The Flatstick Pub did just that. It is a pub that features the game of golf. With unique golf games and challenging miniature golf course, you and your friends can play golf without even going outside.

The owners at The Flatstick Pub are passionate about golf and passionate about beer. From the first day they were open, they have been offering independent brews located in the great state of WA. They love to have fun, drink beer and play games and that is exactly what you will get when you step inside the Flatstick Pub.

While you are trying one of their local, independent beers, give their mini-golf course a try. For beginners and experts, The Flatstick offers different hole selections for those who just picked up a putter to those who need a little challenge. They also have other games that you can play with your friends (all of which are golf themed). Whatever brings you into the Flatsick Pub, a first date, birthday party, or happy hour, we think you will really enjoy this place. It’s a great environment to socialize and meet new people!

Right now, there are three different locations within the Seattle area. Kirkland, Pioneer Square and South Lake Union.
