Doc fit me for irons a few years ago and more recently for the top end of my bag (driver, fairway woods, hybrid). I find the amount of club and shaft options available these days to be overwhelming. When you couple that with the high cost of clubs these days and the barrage of marketing claims made by the club manufacturers, buying golf clubs can be anxiety inducing. That's where Doc Griffin comes in. Doc has a wealth of knowledge and gives you simple, pragmatic advice on equipment. He also doesn't push you to buy anything, and he has told me on several occasions that he didn't see a need to change a particular club. You are not going to find that level of honesty and integrity with most fitters or golf shops! Doc deals primarily with Callaway, but he can order you whatever you want from any manufacturer. He is also a fantastic teacher and has given me some great swing tips and instruction over the years. Columbia is lucky to have such an experienced professional, and his new location downtown is a great place for a fitting or a lesson. Highly recommend.

Doc is a true professional and is the best fitter/instructor hands down. I came in as a pretty rough golfer (23 handicap) and Doc walked me through the full bag fitting process. I came out with a beautiful set of Callaway's and I couldn't be happier. Doc has forgotten more about golf than most people know today. Can't beat the free lifetime lessons after getting a fitting with him as well. Give him a call! You won't regret it.

Doc is great. He fitted me for some new irons a couple years ago. We went through many different shafts (this is what you are actually fitted for) to understand the right weights and lengths. He was able to cut down the shafts to make them a little bit stiffer and work for my swing. I went in again today to discuss purchasing a new driver. After him looking at my swing again, he informed me that it was likely the shaft (most important part) and not the driver. He then offered to let me take a demo shaft out next time to try in my current driver. Doc is very honest and will not just try to sell you something. Highly recommended and good guy!

Very knowledgeable and gives great advice. Scheduled a club fitting with doc not necessarily looking for new clubs but just looking for what fit my game. Doc tried a couple of different clubs/shafts with me, mainly to show what I had was what I needed. He didn’t try to sell me anything and was more concerned with what my needs were. He ended up adjusting my set up and telling me I needed the toes of my irons adjusted slightly upright. If you haven’t yet, check out his videos on YouTube as well in regards to shaft flex! I’ll be coming back soon for a lesson! Thanks Doc.

Went in to get my loft and lie on my irons figured out and what a treat it was to work with someone who knew so much about the game and the process of clubs. Definitely going back soon for a 3 wood fitting

Been working with Doc for 10 years. I don’t trust anyone else to do my club work. He is the best.

I cant thank Doc enough. A friend and I made an appointment, Doc was a true professional, and I really enjoyed the experience. He did not try to sell me on a specific product or manufacturer, rather he let the performance of the equipment speak for itself. If you are looking to improve your golf game along with an awesome fitting experience, please go see the Doc! His knowledge is unreal!

I originally went to see Doc Griffin because I was struggling with ball contact. As a lifelong single digit handicap golfer I immediately assumed it was my swing and something I was doing that needed to be corrected. I told Doc I wanted to sign up for the 5 lesson package.When I got there Doc did a mini club fitting and had me hit about 8 shots on his analyzer with my 7 ironHe then measured me and measured my irons and told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with my song the problem is my irons are too long for me . He said he would not take my money for lessons he felt I didn’t need. My numbers were all very good on the analyzer and I was hitting the 7 iron 170 yards. I was so impressed with his honesty and not selling me anything I didn’t need. His knowledge is amazing and integrity even better!The next day I went out on my home course and hit 14 greens and shot 76 without putting well. His advice in one lesson was very helpfulHighly recommended

I have had the new set of clubs Dr. Griffin made for me for a little over a month. In that time, my handicap has dropped three strokes, and after hoping for a hole-in-one for sixty-two years and only coming close, scored my first one in January with Dr. G’s new clubs. I now hit the ball farther and more accurately than before. Wish I had known about his ability to tailor fit clubs a long time ago.Mark SullivanCOL(Ret), SFSCSG IG

In the market for new Fitted irons and fitting for my new M1 Driver and some lessons. Stopped by on a Thursday since his site says they are by appointment only on wensday. On my lunch break and still in work clothes. The owner was extremly rude when I said I was stopping in to check the place out. Didn’t ask what I was in the market simply informed me (with a nasty attitude) it wasn’t a retail shop with stuff “laying” around. Guess if you don’t walk in wearing a 3 piece suit driving a BMW your just a waste of his time! My wife was with me and found his behavior extremely rude from the first word out of his mouth. From his credentials that’s upsetting. Would have enjoyed having a fitter of his caliber try to help me to improve my game but alas his attitude ruined that. He is what’s wrong with the game. He acted like I was there to waste his time when I’m an avid golfer who understands a properly fitted set of irons would be a huge improvement and they don’t come cheap. Will take my business elsewhere!!

I have dealt with Doc for 12+ years. Excellent instructor and club fitter. The man knows his stuff, I would recommend him to anyone.

After 1 hour on driving range I was more comfortable with the set doc griffin made than i was the set i had been playing for 11 years. My golf clubs feel as they are an extension of my arms and not just something I am holding. If you are looking for a custom fit set of clubs this is the only place you need to go. You will not be disappointed.

Walked in needing a driver shaft assembled(cut,tipped, gripped). Very knowledgable and went out of the way to explain why something should or should not be done. All at a great price. Will definitely return for anything I need for my clubs.
