For golf enthusiasts in Greater Williamsport, there is perhaps no better place to find the latest equipment for successful play on the greens and teeing off on the many courses in the region than at Musselman's Golf in Old Lycoming Township.
"We have been at 2055 Kenwood Ave. for 10 years (right off Route 15 and Dewey Avenue), but have been in the golf business for over (50) fifty years," said store owner Rick Musselman, who oversees daily operations at the store managed by Tim Musselman. Tim and his dad are listed in the world's top 100 club fitters by KZG Golf in California. "KZG, our club designer, is committed to designing new golf equipment yearly," he said.
Rick, who is a golf author and professional golfer, has written golf tips for the Sun Gazette for the past 14 years.
Theirs is a one-of-a-kind operation, as Musselman's Golf custom-builds golf clubs to fit any person's size and swing characteristics by utilizing specialized tools of the game.
These include frequency machines, a spine analyzer, moment of inertia equipment, and a loft and lie machine.
"We also use a computer program designed by Tom Wishon," he said. Wishon is a clubfitting expert. Wishon Golf Technology is recognized as one of the industry leaders in the research of golf club design, performance and clubfitting technology.
"Our golf swing simulators give us important fitting information that would be impossible to do with the naked eye," Rick noted.
Musselman's Golf also gives golf lessons and club repairs, including golf club repair and restoring antique clubs.
Rick owned 15 golf shops and operated a club repair and fitting school in Michigan and a golf school in Florida.
